The small harbour of Starigrad lies on the mainland coast of [[Croatia]] at the SE end of the Velebitski channel, near the entrance to the Paklenica National Park at the foot of the Velebit mountain range.  A settlement since Roman times, the town’s main claim to fame today is as a base for exploring the spectacular gorges of the National Park just behind the town and for long-distance trekking into the Velebit mountain range to the NE.  However, the harbour, like many along this coast, is quite open and does not offer good shelter.  It is not a place to be in if there is any risk of a ''bora'' or, indeed, any fresh to strong winds from NW round to SW.  In settled weather, however, it is a useful place to stop for a visit to the National Park.

==Local Weather==
+
''Also see [[HF_Radio|Cruiser's Nets]]''
-
Diurnal winds along the coast are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains are a feature of some of the harbours along the NE Adriatic coast.  During early spring and (especially) autumn conditions can be more unsettled, occasionally accompanied by violent thunderstorms - luckily of short duration - with winds of 30-35 knots or more and vicious, steep seas.  In the winter the sudden, violent N wind off the mountains, the ''bora'', is much to be feared, especially along the Velebitski channel.
+
-
Equally prevalent in winter - although not uncommon in summer - is the ''scirocco'', a S/SE wind that blows up from North Africa, usually in advance of a depression moving E across the Mediterranean.  Unlike the ''bora'', the ''scirocco'' only occasionally exceeds gale force, but is still a phenomenon to be wary of, especially if on a lee coast.  For this reason, most yachts cruising the Velebitski channel hug the mainland shore, where there is better shelter in the event of a sudden ''bora''.
+
==Navigation==
 +
'''Starigrad-Paklenica''' is approached from NW, either via the Velebitski channel having passed around the northern end of the island of [[Pag]] or, if approaching from S, through the narrow but deep channel of Ljubacka Vrata at the SE end of Pag island.  A bridge crosses the latter channel, connecting Pag with the mainland, and has an air clearance of 35 metres.  There are no dangers in the approach to the harbour itself.  Shelter is no better than reasonable in moderate winds from NE round to E but poor in all other conditions.  The harbour is untenable in strong winds from NW and W.

The small harbour of Starigrad-Paklenica lies on the mainland coast of Croatia at the SE end of the Velebitski channel, near the entrance to the Paklenica National Park at the foot of the Velebit mountain range. A settlement since Roman times, the town’s main claim to fame today is as a base for exploring the spectacular gorges of the National Park just behind the town and for long-distance trekking into the Velebit mountain range to the NE. However, the harbour, like many along this coast, is quite open and does not offer good shelter. It is not a place to be in if there is any risk of a bora or, indeed, any fresh to strong winds from NW round to SW. In settled weather, however, it is a useful place to stop for a visit to the National Park.
