Spring Regatta - international sailing event in Greece
12 Knots invites you to participate in annual regatta for amateur sailors. Dates: 6 - 13 May.
Spring Regatta is an international sailing event held annually in most stunning locations of the Mediterranean Sea. Ideal for skippers and crews of all levels, from beginners to experienced sailors.
What is different from other races? Regatta is held on absolutely equal boats: same brand, model, size, year and sails. Mono fleet means no handicap, no tricky measurements, and no disappointment in the results calculations. All are the same and only teamwork and good luck matters.
In 2017 Spring regatta will take place in Greece. We will sail and explore most picturesque places of Saronic Gulf: Methana, Hydra, Spetses, Poros and Aegina.
Racing program will be very intensive but exiting! First training day, then 5 racing days, with various challenging distances, and presumably two races per day (technical and navigation). Each day and race will be unique to bring new experience and fresh emotions.
Is that all? Off course not! We understand that for most participants this is a new country, region, or simply new itinerary. That is why we prepared several guided excursions, list of restaurants with local cuisine and other places of interest.

Customer reviews
How customer reviews and ratings work
We use the Average with Prior (also known as Bayesian Average) to calculate the total rating for each sailing cruise
Since new cruises could have very few reviews, each review can significantly impact the average score, potentially leading to misleading representations of the total score (e.g., one very positive or very negative review skewing the overall rating). To mitigate this, we use a "prior" or "default" score.
This means that each cruise, by default, starts with a rating of 4, which is calculated from 5 hypothetical reviews, each rated 4. This assumption provides a baseline level of performance that is neutral-to-positive.
For example, if a new cruise receives a 5-star review, the total rating will be adjusted to 4.17. Here's how it is calculated: (4 × 5) + 5 = 25 and then divided by the total number of reviews 6 (5 default + 1 actual review), resulting in 4.17
As more reviews come in, the weight of the actual reviews increases, and the influence of the prior diminishes.
