The harbour of U. Knez is situated half a mile NW of the settlement of [[Mali Iz]] on the NE side of the island of [[Iz]] in [[Croatia]]. The harbour consists of a small, V-shaped inlet quayed at its head and three short stone jetties along which are small craft moorings. Visiting yachts can moor up up stern or bows-to the E side of the southernmost jetty, using the five mooring lines provided or pick up one of the mooring buoys laid by the two restaurants in the inlet.

==Local Weather==

==Charts==
-
Diurnal winds among the islands are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5, although gusting is common in narrow channels between islands and on the lee side of headlands.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains affect some of the islands close to the mainland 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 coast from Rijeka down to Zadar, although its effects can be felt as far south as Split.
+
''See [[Northern Dalmatia#Charts|Northern Dalmatia]]''.
-
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.

There are no dangers in the immediate approach to U. Knez. If approaching from N, it is possible in settled weather to pass between the islet of O. Knezak and Iz island, where there are least depths of 3.5 metres. However, in unsettled weather or with any swell running it is better to pass outside O. Knezak. Depths in the approach to the harbour are 5.0 - 6.0 metres and on the jetties around 2.0 metres.

The harbour consists of a small, V-shaped inlet quayed at its head and three short stone jetties along which are small craft moorings. Visiting yachts can moor up up stern or bows-to the E side of the southernmost jetty, using the five mooring lines provided or pick up one of the mooring buoys laid by the two restaurants in the inlet. The inlet is protected from the N by the islet of Knezak but is open to winds from the E and the SE.
