Overview

I located a web site of the Croatian Sailing Federation (HJS) at <www.hjs.hr>. There is a list of all the member clubs with their addresses and other basic info, and many of them have their emblem shown there, not unfrequently it being the club burgee. (choose "Klubovi" in the menu in the left window - you'll get the list of members, click submit for each)
