An attempt by five -times world powerboat racing champion Aaron Ciantar to become the fastest person to ever circumnavigate Malta by boat has been postponed.

It was meant to take place on Monday morning. 

Practice runs were held on Sunday, but technical issues forced a postponement of the actual attempt.

The racing champion is seeking to break the world record Mario Invernizzi had set back in 2006.
