J/122 ARTIE Slam Dunks SLAM Regatta

J/133 sailboat- JUNO- sailing Malta SLAM Regatta
(Malta)- Lee Satariano’s J-122 ARTIE was second in the first ever SLAM sponsored Mellieha Bay Regatta.  ARTIE was second in IRC Class 1 and Second Overall.  The regatta was organised by the Royal Malta Yacht Club in conjunction with RLR Yachting, local agents for SLAM.

Racing consisted of a short coastal race on Friday followed by a well attended “Happy Hour” at the Yacht Club bar.  Racing continued on Saturday and Sunday around the North shore azure waters of the Maltese archipelago.  Interestingly, ARTIE drew first blood in Race 1 by winning the race.  However, the J/133 JUNO came back over the next two days to take the overall class win and IRC title.   For more SLAM Regatta sailing information
