Maltese Boat Battles Stormy Waters During Rolex Middle Sea Race
Local
Rolex Middle Sea Race shared footage of a Maltese crew aboard Simon Xuereb’s Spirit of the Winds battling stormy waters as they attempted their luck at the 45th edition of the race.
Thankfully, the crew were reported safe and well, and have retired from the race after the intense battle against the weather.
Five Maltese boats have reportedly retired from the race as another 12 continue after it all began from Valletta’s Grand Harbour this weekend.
As it stands (in the past hour), the Scallywag 100 is back in front with Black Jack 100 following closely behind.
‘Still holding on to the lead under IRC is Balthasar, the Maxi 72 skippered by Rogier Van Overveld.’
