The event will be open to both members and nonmembers who are either attending or have attended a sailing course in the past. Sailors can choose according to their sailing skills. Beginners will be assigned a coach for team racing and games on our teaching boats while sailors who are currently attending their second Sportmalta course or have sailed for at least 6 months can choose between optimist and topper depending on their age.

Final results of the Vikings Autumn Regatta 2021

And its a wrap! The regatta came to a close yesterday after 2 days of sailing. A record 103 boats participated during this event. On the last day, we were battered by thunderstorms and heavy rain which delayed the start of the races. A total of 4 races were held throughout the weekend. This event was only possible thanks to over 40 volunteers that dedicated their time to make this event a success! Thank you Gauci Borda and Floriana Local Council for sponsoring the event.

After a long absence, Vikings will be hosting a ranking event on the 9th and 10th October 2021.
