Crewsaver Regatta

For the first time, Crewsaver and RLR teamed up and sponsored a Regatta at the Royal Malta Yacht Club. This was to include Keel Boats, J70’s and all Dinghies over three days in May. The event started on a Friday with light winds which enabled racing to be held. That same evening, the RMYC organised a great Wine Tasting Event at the Club which was heavily attended….! Saturday morning brought with it Strong Winds and Heavy Heads from the previous night. The racing was spectacular and very demanding on boat Crew and Boat. A full day on the water came to an end with several Crew showing off and comparing their bruisers from being thrown around the boats in the big seas. In the evening, the RMYC organised a “Piglet Dinner” which was a pleasant change. The Wind continued to build which meant outside seating becoming a little chilly. Sunday morning brought similar wind strengths but much larger seas. A Safety call from the Club stating racing was cancelled was a wise decision and gave everyone the chance to enjoy a relaxing lunch at the Club followed by Prize giving. With the Winners up on the podium having their photos taken and prizes presented, the event came to an end. A thouroghly enjoyable weekend was had by all and one which we hope to repeat for next year. A big thank you goes to Crewsaver for their support in this event.
