Vikings Sailing Club marathon for charity

The Vikings Sailing Club (VSC) is organising a sailing marathon at its premises at Haywharf from Saturday at 10 a.m. till Sunday at 6 p.m.

Young sailors will be raising funds for the Equal Partners Foundation, by sailing non-stop in Marsamxett Harbour for 32 hours.

Equal Partners is a parent-run, non-profit foundation providing support programmes to over 180 children and adults with disabilities and/or learning difficulties.

The Vikings Sailing Club is offering an opportunity to try out dinghy sailing with qualified instructors against a donation.

The public will have a chance to experience the thrill of dinghy sailing while helping out a good cause.

VSC was set up in 1984, and with over 200 members, it has a very active social calendar with an open and friendly atmosphere. The club is an accredited training centre for SkolaSport of Kunsill Malti Ghall-Isport, the Ministry of Education's youth training scheme.
