The Vikings open day is back!Â
Come and join us for a 1 hour trial sail on one of our teaching boats with one of our coaches or advanced sailors. Just book one of the time slots available and present yourself 10 minutes before your time slot on the day. While sailing around the harbour you will also be able to observe our youngest sailors during their optimist training session. Our coaches will also explain some basic sailing techniques during the experience.
After the success of our carnival fun sailing activity we have decided to organise another 2 mornings of fun for our sailors during the Easter holidays. This time, due to popular demand, we will also be accepting complete beginners who will sail on our larger teaching boats with an instructor.
Due to strong winds forecasted that are too much for most of our sailors, the carnival activity for members that was due to be held
Vikings will be organising a fun morning for its members on Sunday the 27th February. Sailors can dress up their boats or even wear a costume or funny hat. Whatever you decide, the ultimate aim is for members to get together and have lots of fun.
To celebrate carnival, the club will be organising a morning of sailing, games and fun races for kids and teens. 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.
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.
Please note amendment to Appendix 1 of the sailing instructions for day 2. Amendment to Sailing instructions
