GO is the official mobile and data partner of the RC44 Valletta Cup taking place between 25 and 29 March 2015. The RC44 Valletta Cup is part of the 2015 RC44 Championship Tour which will also visit Italy, Sweden, Portugal and the British Virgin Islands. The tour allows amateur owner-drivers, most of whom are top international business owners to team up with world class sailors including America's Cup veterans and Olympic Medallists to race high performance one design yachts.

The races will begin with a Match Race in the Grand Harbour on 25 March. On the remaining days, a series of Fleet Races will take place along the Tigne to St. Julian's seafront. Depending on weather conditions, a fleet race along the coast towards Gozo might also take place.  Those wishing to enjoy the racing can do so from a number of strategic viewpoints including the Upper Barakka and Senglea for Match Racing and the Sliema sea front for Fleet Racing.

Kurt Camilleri, Chief Commercial Officer at GO, said, "The RC44 Valletta Cup is a world class event attracting leading personalities from the world of yachting and business. Apart from great racing, the event will also provide a great showcase for Malta to an international audience. As Malta's leading provider of telecommunications services, GO plays a central role in connecting Malta to the rest of the world. By investing in events which promote Malta to the global business community, we continue to strengthen that connectivity and create new investment and business opportunities for our country."
