PMS Women is the Croatian abbreviation for the Historic Mediterranean Gathering of Women. This ambiguous term is actually the name of a quite unusual regatta which is traditionally organised on the International Women's Day by the Host Sailing Club from Vis. On Thursday evening, on the International Women's Day, a major demographic change will occur on the island of Vis. The afternoon ferry from Split will bring to the island the participants of the fourth edition of the PMS Women regatta. According to Suzi Kraljevi?, the regatta secretary, this year the match race regatta in Vis will feature seven crews from five countries, with sailing taking place from Friday to Sunday. PMS Women is in many ways a unique regatta: it is the only one in Croatia where only women are allowed to participate; it is organised in early March, at the time of the year when few people would even think of going out to the sea; it is one of few regattas taking place on the island, without outside help and thanks just to organisational efforts and infrastructure of the local sailing club. In accordance with the international character of the Women's Day, the PMS Women has become a genuinely international regatta. This year, it will feature three Croatian crews and one each from Austria, Hungary, Montenegro and Slovakia.
