# Zaligrad Bay

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

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

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

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.
