Zaligrad Bay is the deep inlet on which the capital Zaligrad stands. It is 9 km long and 3.5 km wide at its mouth. The bay is the main harbour of Moravska and the site of the rowing course for the Zaligrad games in 1976.
Geography [edit]
The bay opens to the south-east. The old coast town sits on the western shore. The concrete quarter and the port sit on the eastern shore. The water is 18 m deep at the entrance and 6 m deep at the head.
The bay is sheltered from the Bora by the Kervan foothills. In summer the Morska breeze starts at noon and falls at sunset. See Climate.
Harbour [edit]
The port has four quays and a coal jetty. The shipyard of Skalina lies 14 km north, outside the bay. The bay handles general cargo, passengers, and the fishing fleet. The Tri Limana lagoon system connects to the bay through the Industrial Canal.
The 1976 course [edit]
The rowing course was laid on the eastern side of the bay. The surveyor Kosta Mladinov chose a 2,000 m line that gave a fair wind to all six lanes. The final was rowed at 10:00 on 14 July 1976. The water was 24 °C. See Skalina Eight.
The grandstand held 12,000 people. The press pontoon held 400 journalists. After the games the grandstand was reduced and the course became a training ground for the Skalina clubs.
