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.

Boaters can take several steps to deal with Sargasso seaweed: 1. Avoid areas with large concentrations of Sargasso seaweed: Boaters can use satellite imagery and other resources to identify areas with high concentrations of seaweed and avoid them if possible. 2. Slow down and be cautious: Sargasso seaweed can be thick and difficult to navigate through, so boaters should slow down and proceed with caution when encountering it. 3. Clear the seaweed from the boat: Boaters can use a net or rake to remove seaweed from the boat, being careful not to damage the boat or the seaweed. 4. Check the engine and cooling system: Sargasso seaweed can clog the engine and cooling system, so boaters should check them regularly and clean them if necessary. 5. Dispose of the seaweed properly: Boaters should dispose of the seaweed properly, either by composting it or disposing of it in a designated area. They should not throw it back into the water, as this can spread the seaweed to other areas.
