12 - 13. ožujka 2011. - Rijeka, Hrvatska.
Ovogodišnja Riječka regata modela je bila održana po uobičajenim vremenskim prilikama za ovu regatu. Oba dana je prevladavala bonaca koja nije omogućavala mnogo jedrenja.
Srećom, ipak je odrađeno 9 jedrenja. Prvi dan 4, a drugi dan 5. Bilo je još nekoliko pokušaja, ali su prekidani, neki ranije, a neki kasnije. Također se dogodio i jedan presedan naših regata, kad je poništen cijeli plov zbog proceuralne pogreške sudaca nakon što je dan start na crnu zastavu.
U subotu je bilo dosta toplo i sunčano, a puhalo je paralelno s Gatom Karoline Riječke, što je olakšalo upravljanje jedrilicama.
U nedjelju nije više bilo sunca i svi su bili u iščekivanju najavljenog jakog juga. Međutim jugo se tek povremeno pojavljivalo na regatnom polju, ali je ipak omogućeno jedrenje po nešto vjetrovitijim uvjetima nego dan ranije.
Bodovno gledajući nije bilo baš zanimljivo, jer je prvo mjesto osigurao već prvi dan Robert Matulja s 3 prva i jednim 2. mjestom!
Ovo mu je druga pobjeda u nizu, a s jedrenjem posljednjih mjeseci pokazuje da bi mogao igrati jednu od vodećih uloga na predstojećem Svjetskom prvenstvu u West Kirbyju.
Uz njega su se na postolju našli Zvonko Jelačić i Mirko Ukas kao 2. i 3. a najboljim juniorom je proglašen Robertov brat Paolo.
March 12th and 13th 2011. - Rijeka, Croatia.
This year's IOM race in Rijeka was held at the usual weather for this race. Both days was calm weather that did not allow a lot of races.
Fortunately, however, were done 9 races. The first day 4 and second day 5. There have been several attempts, but were interrupted, some earlier and some later. It also occurred something unusual for our race, when the whole race was canceled due to umpires procedural error after the start held on the black flag.
On Saturday it was quite warm and sunny, and was blowing parallel to the Pier of Karolina Riječka.
Sunday wasn't sunny, and all were expected to announced a strong south wind. That wind is only occasionally appeared on the race area, but that still were much windier conditions than the previous day.
By the scoring point of view race was not so interesting, because first day Robert Matulja made 3 first and one second place!
This is his second victory in a row, and sailing in recent months shows that he could play a lead role in the upcoming World Championships in West Kirby.
With him on the podium were found Zvonko Jelačić and Mirko Ukas as 2. and 3.
Best junior was Robert's brother Paolo.
