| summary= The settlement of '''Lignano''' (or to give it its full name, Lignano Sabbiadoro) lies at the end of a peninsula on the Adriatic coast of [[Italy]], 5 miles NE of the river marinas of [[Lignano Riviera]] and at the western entrance to the [[Laguna di Marano]]. Until the early 20th century, Lignano was an isolated fishing community with few links to the mainland. Since the advent of tourism in the early 1900s, the Lignano peninsula has become one of the most thriving tourist destinations in the northern Adriatic. While its beaches are thronged with sun worshippers during the summer, there are still quiet spots to be found in the lagoon and the area retains much of its former richness in flora and fauna. Yachts visiting Lignano have a choice of the huge 1200 berth [[Marina Punta Faro]] or the smaller municipal basin of [[Darsena Porto Vecchio]] with 400 berths.

During the summer months the prevailing winds in the Adriatic are light to moderate coastal seabreezes.  In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the northern Adriatic, where the much-feared “bora” is caused by high pressure over the mountains to the NE coupled with low pressure over southern Italy.  Fortunately, the fiercest “bora” is normally to be expected in the winter months.  Thunderstorms are occasionally experienced in spring and especially autumn and can be accompanied by violent winds of gale force and above.  Luckily they are rarely long-lasting.  Fog is a further hazard often encountered in the lagoon of Venice, especially in the early and late season.

-
The entrance to Lignano, which is also the main, westernmost entrance to the [[Laguna di Marano]], is at [[image:World_icon.png]] {{Coord|45|41.5|N|13|10.0|E|}}. Dangerous sandbanks extend offshore for over a mile on either side of the entrance and the safe water between the banks (which shift constantly) is marked by a red and white fairway buoy situated about 1.5 miles SSE of the channel. Yachts entering should pass within 50 metres of the buoy, which is moved to reflect the shifts, before turning on a course of c. 355 degrees to cross the bar and pick up the channel, which is marked with wooden posts (white to starboard and red to port). Depths in the channel are around 6.0 metres, but can be as little as 2.5 metres over the bar. Entry should therefore only be attempted close to high water and on a rising tide and never in strong onshore winds. Once in the channel, proceed for about a mile and the entrance to [[Marina Punta Faro]] will be visible to port. For the entrance to the basin of [[Darsena Porto Vecchio]], continue W up the channel that passes the entrance to Marina Punta Faro and along the curved breakwater until the basin opens up to port after 600 metres.

The Lignano peninsula from the NE

The settlement of Lignano (or to give it its full name, Lignano Sabbiadoro) lies at the end of a peninsula on the Adriatic coast of Italy, 5 miles NE of the river marinas of Lignano Riviera and at the western entrance to the Laguna di Marano. Until the early 20th century, Lignano was an isolated fishing community with few links to the mainland. Since the advent of tourism in the early 1900s, the Lignano peninsula has become one of the most thriving tourist destinations in the northern Adriatic. While its beaches are thronged with sun worshippers during the summer, there are still quiet spots to be found in the lagoon and the area retains much of its former richness in flora and fauna. Yachts visiting Lignano have a choice of the huge 1200 berth Marina Punta Faro or the smaller municipal basin of Darsena Porto Vecchio with 400 berths.

Weather

During the summer months, the prevailing winds in the Adriatic are light to moderate coastal sea breezes. In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the northern Adriatic, where the much-feared “bora” is caused by high pressure over the mountains to the NE coupled with low pressure over southern Italy. Fortunately, the fiercest “bora” is normally to be expected in the winter months. Thunderstorms are occasionally experienced in spring and especially autumn and can be accompanied by violent winds of gale force and above. Luckily they are rarely long-lasting. Fog is a further hazard often encountered in the lagoon of Venice, especially in the early and late season.

Sources for weather information:

  • There is a continuous (computerized voice) weather forecast on VHF 68 - first in Italian and then followed with an English translation
  • The same forecast is given in Italian and English on VHF coastal stations following a notification on channel 16
  • Navtex weather forecasts covering the Adriatic are broadcast from stations at Roma, Trieste, Kerkyra (Greece) and Split (Croatia)

Islands

  • Isola de Martignano
  • Isola di Sant’Andrea

Communication

Add here VHF channel for the coastguard, harbor masters. etc.

Also see World Cruiser's Nets.


Navigation

The entrance to Lignano, which is also the main, westernmost entrance to the Laguna di Marano, is at entrance of the Canale di Marano/wiki/Lignano#Canale_di_MaranoWorld icon.png Canale di Marano [[Lignano#Canale di Marano|Canale di Marano]] 45°41.996'N, 013°09.459'E . Dangerous sandbanks extend offshore for over a mile on either side of the entrance and the safe water between the banks (which shift constantly) is marked by a red and white fairway buoy situated about 1.5 miles SSE of the channel. Yachts entering should pass within 50 metres of the buoy, which is moved to reflect the shifts, before turning on a course of c. 355 degrees to cross the bar and pick up the channel, which is marked with wooden posts (white to starboard and red to port). Depths in the channel are around 6.0 metres, but can be as little as 2.5 metres over the bar. The entry should therefore only be attempted close to high water and on a rising tide and never in strong onshore winds. Once in the channel, proceed for about a mile and the entrance to Marina Punta Faro will be visible to port.

For the entrance to the basin of Darsena Porto Vecchio, continue W up the channel that passes the entrance to the Marina Punta Faro and along the curved breakwater until the basin opens up to port after 600 metres.
