The event was made possible with the support of SportMalta’s #BeActive campaign, which continues to promote inclusive and accessible opportunities for people of all ages to discover new ways of enjoying physical activity.

Through initiatives like this, the Royal Malta Yacht Club Sailing School is strengthening community connections while inspiring more people to embrace the joy of sailing and an active lifestyle.
