Seventeen boats will set sail from Marsamxett today for the Tommy Hilfiger Ramla Bay Resort regatta, organised by the Royal Malta Yacht Club. The race, to the south Comino channel, is one of the club’s most popular events in the season’s calendar. Category races are held for keelboats and smaller dinghies with the participation of young sailors. Awards will be distributed on Sunday afternoon. Part of the proceeds from the event will go to the Malta Sailing Federation in support of its coaching programme.
