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’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.
