Bank of Valletta has once again extended its support towards the organisation of the BOV Spring Series by the Royal Malta Yacht Club. 12 boats from three different classes took part in this year’s races which were spread over two days.

‘Primadonna’, captained by Georges Bonello DuPuis, emerged as the winner of Class A, just ahead of Arthur Podesta’s ‘Elusive’.

‘Spirit of the Wind’ with Anton Calleja as skipper was the outright winner in Class B while Alex Hall’s ‘Orlando’ proved too strong for ‘Sephora’, skippered by Frank Giordamaina Medici.

Charles Azzopardi, Manager, Marketing and Communications at Bank of Valletta presented the Bank’s sponsorship to Commodore Georges Bonello DuPuis during the BOV Spring Series presentation night held at the Royal Malta Yacht Club.

Speaking during the presentation, Mr Azzopardi said: “Bank of Valletta is proud to support this event , which has now become synonymous with Bank of Valletta and an important race in the Royal Malta Yacht Club racing calendar,. We take this opportunity to congratulate all participants and the winners of this year’s competition and we shall continue to encourage sporting excellence among all the participants”.

Thanking Bank of Valletta for its ongoing support, Mr. Bonello DuPuis said: “We are proud of our seven year relationship with Bank of Valletta and our members appreciate the Bank’s support of the local sailing scene and our members look forward to competing in this event which practically opens the racing season”
