General
FAMILY PROJECT
He previously sailed in the RS:X class but in 2017 he and his brother Sime decided to team up to compete together in the 49er class. Their father Edo, who serves as coach for the brothers, had always dreamed of his two sons competing together. "It was Sime's idea. When he presented it to the family, we made the decision together to do it. Our mother, who is our greatest supporter, agreed and our older sister Marija, who is in charge of finances, also accepted the idea." (vecernji.hr, 13 Aug 2018)

ROAD TO TOKYO
The boat with which he and his brother compete in on the way to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo is called '10,000'. "We named it '10,000' because it's the number of training hours to Tokyo. It's symbolic." (24sata.hr, 13 Aug 2018)
