This year's 6th edition of the
Beneteau Cup 2007 will be held between Thursday and Sunday. The organisers, Mediterranean Yacht Sales Ltd, said that, "40 Beneteaus are expected to participate... this year will
be interesting to see four generations of Oceanis and First designs racing
against each other".
The racing program kicks off Friday afternoon, were the boats will race around the waters of the North East shores of Malta and proceed to berth at the Valletta Waterfront.
On Saturday morning the boats will start the second race to Mgarr, Gozo inside Malta's Grand Harbour. It has been quite a while since Malta's Grand Harbour has seen the start of a local yacht race.
The last day of the event will see the participants race back to Marsamxett, following which, a prize giving reception at the Grand Hotel Excelsior will be organised.
The briefing will be held on Thursday after the arrival of all the yachts in the Grand Hotel Excelsior basin in the Bellavanti Meeting Room at 1930 hours.
