Iza projekta ACI Sail vrlo je uspješna i uzbudljiva godina. U 2021. u Hrvatskoj prvi je put održana ClubSwan regata, a nadolazeće sezone ljubiteljima jedrenja donose brojne novosti.

'We are glad that Nautor's Swan recognised the value of Croatia as a great sailing destination. ClubSwan is an exclusive club whose members are owners of the best sailing boats in the world; each ClubSwan regatta combines sailing and business to bring together the best of the best in the world of boating and is the highlight of our sport,' said Ivan Kljaković Gašpić, ACI Sail project manager.

ACI Sail neizostavan je član uglednog Clubswan društva, koje se natječe na ekskluzivnim destinacijama diljem svijeta, kao što su Porto Cervo, St. Tropez i Monte Carlo. Budući da na tim regatama mogu prisustvovati isključivo vlasnici ClubSwan brodova, ACI Sail trenutačno jedini u svijetu svojim klijentima nudi mogućnost najma jedrilica ClubSwan 36 u svrhu ulaska na regate iz ClubSwan programa. Tako klijenti mogu jedriti na poznatim svjetskim regatama poput Copa Del Rey i Rolex Swan Cupa, a od ove godine svoje će jedriličarske vještine moći iskušati i u jednom od najljepših mediteranskih gradova – Splitu, koji je od 4. do 8. listopada domaćin regate iz prestižnog ClubSwan One Design kalendara.
