The Vikings Sailing Club is organising a sailing marathon on the weekend of August 22-24.

Club sailors will be raising funds for St Clare's Monastery, in St Julian's, by sailing non-stop in Marsamxett Harbour for 32 hours.

Tonio Borg, the Deputy Prime Minister, will officially open the marathon.

During the event, the Vikings club will be offering the public the opportunity to try out dinghy sailing with qualified instructors against a donation.

Participants will have the chance to experience the thrill of the sport while helping a good cause.

The Viking Sailing Club is situated just a few metres downhill from the entrance of the Excelsior Hotel, near the Maritime Squadron at Haywharf.

For more information on the marathon one may phone 7906-8740.
