Marsa won two races in the B category and another three in the open.

Vittoriosa placed second and Senglea third in the B category and Senglea placed second and Cospicua third in the open.

Before the races started, Archbishop Charles Scicluna blessed the regatta boats and drew the lots to decide the lanes the boats were to follow.
