Although still in its infancy, having been incepted in 2021, the Yachting Malta BSC International Regatta is growing from strength to strength as can be seen from the level of sailors who will be racing this week.

The four-day regatta will start tomorrow and end on Sunday, with the host club, Birżebbuġa looking forward to welcoming approximately 120 sailors representing eight nations.
