Hobie Cat sailing clinic in Malta

Frenchman Jean Christophe Mourniac, a world class sailor winner of several titles including the Hobie Tiger 2006 World Championship and the 600-nautical-miles 2007 Archipelago, was recently in Malta to conduct a three-day sailing clinic.

This activity, a joint initiative by RLR Yachting and Hobie Cat Europe, was staged at the Adira Sailing Centre.

Sailors attending the clinic went through both theoretical and practical sessions culminating with some exciting sailing in Għadira Bay and around Comino in a strong Mistral wind.

The participants were Joe Cross, Kevin Anastasi, Darius Goodwin, Matthew Gusman, Christian Ripard, David Anastasi, Michael Anastasi, Paul Ellul, Mike Agius, Mark Schranz, Olympia Martinez, Alfred Manduca, Chris Grech and Frank Borg.

Discussions are already ongoing for future International F18 or Hobie Tiger events to be held in Malta.
