HIR 3 Sailing Tribe

We are a Croatian crew that sailed around the world on a vintage 34ft sailboat HIR 3, west-to-east, across Southern Ocean and around Cape Horn.

We sail on, encouraging likeminded people to follow their dreams. You surely have one, don’t you? Join our Sailing Tribe and sail strong with us!

A legendary boat rounding the world 2nd time

Our boat is a sailing legend with great sailing history— 6 Atlantic crossings and two circumnavigations in the wake. Neglected for over 10 years, HIR 3 was doomed to decay, but we have restored her and went for another spin around the Globe, the hard way. We took the southern route, around three Great Capes. It took 28 months and 39.000 miles, but we have circumnavigated the globe and returned to Mali Lošinj.

Crew

Our skipper, Saša Fegić, is the owner of HIR 3 and the only permanent member of the crew, while other members have been jumping on and off the board, mostly while in port. No crew was lost so far.

The most resilient crew were Marina Đukanović and Nebojša Petrović alternating as 1st mate during the circumnavigation.

As most of the endeavours of this kind, restoring a vintage boat and taking her around the world was a project of pure enthusiasm and beyond reason, shall you ask our accounting. Shall you ask our friends, we are their heroes and they gladly support our insanity.

I was glad to hear that Saša decided to buy HIR 3 and restore her. When I saw how determined he is to sail her around the world for 2nd time, I offered my full support to his project.

It is hard to say whether it is a bigger achievement for a 42 year old boat or for the 41 year old skipper, but this circumnavigation is definitely a significant achievement in the journal of Croatian Maritime History.
