Description

Osor (Ossero) is an anchorage that does not offer the best shelter, however, it has a strategic location. It lies just before the navigable channel (Cavanella channel) built by man to separate the islands of Cres and Lusssino. Osor in fact takes its name from a Roman city that was flourishing and glorious at the time and was located near the canal. The passage avoids a bypass route around the island of Loลกinj and shortens the route for those who, for example, are heading to Novaljia on the island of Pag. The anchorages in Osor are an ideal place to wait for the bridge to be lifted (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). The closed bridge is just under a couple of meters high. Beware of the five-knot speed limit when crossing the channel. Boats coming from the south have the right of way and those waiting must maneuver or anchor so as not to interfere with boats that are passing through. The channel is twelve meters wide and about three meters deep.

If you decide to anchorage in the Osor anchorages, you must be careful of the bora, which can be very violent. In this case it is necessary to lay a cable ashore. In the stone quay you can moor but there are no services and it is exposed to the undertow. At the dock you put in bow or stern, only for boats with a shallow draft. Coming from the north at night refer to a flashing red light 3 seconds (Osor Bay) and a flashing red light 1.5 seconds (beginning of channel). Coming from the south the passage is just under 50 meters wide at first and then narrows to 12 on the channel. At night it is marked by green and red flashing lights on both sides two seconds.

The neighboring island of Loลกinj is worth a visit, first and foremost for its small sandy beaches (hard to find in Croatia), but also for the typical Mediterranean macchia and fresh air. The island is not as touristy as Istria, but a number of hotels and campsites have been developing in recent years; still, quiet, secluded places can be found. Seafood restaurants on Lussingande are very popular, offering a sea view and decent prices as well as excellent quality fish. Connections on the island all depend on a single road and so it is more practical to use a boat to visit places.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
