Arthur Podestà was one of the stalwarts of the Middle Sea Race and everything about yachting in Malta.
I found him an exceptional person when, in 1974 , I asked him, John and Paul Ripard to produce my world famous 16mm film Go... Sails... Go.... The film won me awards worldwide and was screened in 50 countries.
Arthur had a fantastic character, always very helpful and, like his father, the brains about yachting in Malta. It is a great pity that I lost Paul Ripard and now Arthur.
