The Royal Malta Yacht Club’s annual Marzamemi Regatta returned earlier this month with a race that tested patience, perseverance, and tactical skill. While the individual legs were won by Jonathan Gambin’s Ton Ton Laferla Insurance (Malta to Marzamemi) and Stefan Debattista’s Geisha (Marzamemi to Malta), it was Sean Borg’s Jubatus who claimed the overall trophy. Two second-place finishes on corrected time secured their top spot.

The Paymix Pro Ragusa attracted a strong and balanced mix of racers and cruisers, all eager to take part in the first offshore race of the year hosted by the Royal Malta Yacht Club. Jonathan Gambin's Ton Ton Laferla Insurance was the overall winner of the offshore weekend regatta.

The Royal Malta Yacht Club’s Tommy Hilfiger Figure of 8 Race served up a tactical test for sailors on Saturday 12th April , with both fully crewed and short-handed teams lining up for the coastal challenge. This year’s edition took competitors on a southbound route around the Maltese Islands, with conditions demanding resilience and precision sailing.

The Royal Malta Yacht Club hosted its second race of the 2025 season on Saturday evening, when the Thomas Smith Triple Handed Night Race took place. The short handed race began in very light winds, with a shifty breeze and an easterly swell setting the stage for a testing night on the water. As the fleet made its way up the coast, towards the tuna pens outside St. Paul’s Bay, competitors had to navigate higher angles, gybe frequently, and deal with unpredictable wind conditions, particularly close to the fish farms which had to be navigated by most in pitch dark.

The Royal Malta Yacht Club hosted the opening event of the EurILCA Masters Series for 2024, which saw the fleet in race in ever changing weather conditions - from rain showers to bright sun, to swells and moderate breeze.

Ho Ho Ho! That was a fun morning on the water in aid of charity. Not much excitement when it came to sailing conditions but the wonderful cheery Christmas vibe that came with it was simply perfect. A massive thanks to all those who took part and donated towards the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation!
