In line with its mission to organise sailing and yachting events in the clean waters of the Mediterranean, Yachting Events Limited recently announced that another round of races from the RC44 Valletta Cup will take place here in November.

“The RC44 Valletta Cup, held in Malta for the first time last year, forms part of the five-stage Championship Tour which is considered as one of the most prestigious events, one that has left its mark on the world of international yacht racing,” Yachting Events Limited said.

The Tour brings together the world of business and sport to a competition that sees top entrepreneurs, Olympians and America’s Cup veterans, the likes of Cameron Appleton, Michele Ivaldi and Ed Baird, battle it out on the water.

Racing on one-design boats, it is the skill and acumen of the RC44 crews that decide the final outcome in every race. The 2016 Tour, which is celebrating its 10th year, will wrap up in Maltese waters.

“It is with great pride and satisfaction that we are launching the RC44 Valletta Cup and the Yacht Racing Forum,” Niki Travers Tauss, Yachting Events director, said.

“The RC44 Class, together with their long list of passionate and highly decorated sailors, will return in autumn.”

Co-hosted by Yachting Malta, the Yacht Racing Forum is the leading annual international conference for the business of sailing and yacht racing and is recognised by the international sailing body World Sailing, formerly known as ISAF.

The forum attracts key players from across the whole yacht racing industry, facilitating business development through quality networking opportunities with decision-makers from all areas within the industry.
