A sizeable fleet of sailing dinghies is expected to grace Birzebbuga Bay this weekend as the local club will be hosting the sailing community for their annual regatta.

This year, the St Peter's Regatta, being held this weekend, has been included in the local ranking series of events.

Six races are scheduled to start at 10. 15 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

A minimum of four boats will constitute a class as stipulated by the ISAF rules.

Mario Aquilina in Laser Standard, Simon Aquilina in Laser Radial and Christof Podesta on Laser 4.7, currently head the ranking list and are the sailors to beat in this weekend's regatta.

Trisa dental hygiene products, Deemedia TV and the Birzebbuga local council are the main sponsors of this event.

The regatta comes to a close with the presentation of trophies to the winners during a reception to be held at the club on Sunday afternoon.
