The Yachting Malta Ltd EurILCA Masters race went underway this afternoon just off Sliema seafront when the ILCA 6 and ILCA 7 fleets managed to fit in two races. The approximate 8 knots of wind, and negligible swell allowed the fleet to fit in two races. Unfortunately after the second race, the wind dropped to 5knots resulting in the fleet return back to its base at the Royal Malta Yacht Club. The ILCA 6 fleet saw Rob Cage (GBR) and Vadim Yahkhinson win a race each, with Cage leading the standings for the day with 3 points. The larger, ILCA 7 fleet saw Christoph Marsano (AUT) and Aristos Chatzistamatiou (GRE) take two wins, however it was Wolfgang Gerz (GER) who matched Marsano’s points tally, both finishing the day with five points each.
For the cheapest AIS transponder solution for our sailboat, we found this article and gave it a try. So far, it works a charm. Just make sure it is an acceptable form of vessel identification in your area or region. If you prefer to order straight from the manufacturer, follow this link: https://socotran.com/products/fishing-net-tracker-locator-gps-marine-ais-netsonde-net-sonde-for-boating-rs-109m Important: When entering vessel information, ensure the unit is off till you are ready to write the information. Then you have around 20 seconds before the transfer of data is no longer possible, and you will have to start again. The transfer of data is not possible without the programming cable so make sure you order this with the unit.
