The Malta Young Sailors Club is organising an Open Day at the Club on Sunday between 10am and 3pm. The club is situated in Tax-Xama in St Paul’s Bay (next to the Government Primary School).

Boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 13 years who visit the club will be given a brief introduction to the Optimist Sailing Dinghy.

Weather permitting, visiting children will be invited to experience half an hour of sailing in an Optimist with the help of experienced sailors from the club, under the supervision of the club head-coach Jean Paul Fleri Soler.

During the Open Day, information will also be given about the Optimist Sailing Courses for Beginners organised by the Club during summer as well as the rest of the Summer Sailing programme for both beginners and the more experienced sailors who have done the sailing courses in previous years and would like to continue or start sailing once again.

Summer sailing for beginners consists of 8 hours (2 half days) of sailing theory and practice every week, for 10 weeks during July, August and September. For these courses the club will provide all the necessary sailing equipment including the sailing boat.

Those who cannot attend the Open Day and are interested in the sailing courses for beginners may obtain further information from the club secretary by sending an e-mail to [email protected] or by sending an sms with their name and address to mobile number 99891651 and information will be received by postal mail.
