On Wednesday, the 6th of March, Navela attended Val's awards for the vessel of the year in the charming restaurant Evergreen in the golf club Diners CUBO, close to Ljubljana. Val navtika is the leading nautic magazine with additional subjects like cars and sports, stationed in Ljubljana. Val's team spent 2018 testing out the performances of both local and international boat builders, so they could inform their loyal readers and business partners about the vessel's advantages. The discussed categories were sailboats, motor boats, tenders and vessels from slovenian boat builders, differing in length categories. The awards were handed out by the main editor, Julijan Višnjevec, with the help of the Marketing Manager Barbara Verhovec. The awards were enriched with gastronomical pleasures, such as menu's from a Micheline star chef and slovenian wineyards. The whole night was fulfilled with meeting current but future business acquaintances as well. Navela is looking forward to next year's event and cooperations with Val Navtika's editorial.
