Maltese officials on the international stage 🇲🇹

Maltese sports officials are increasingly being appointed to officiate at major international events. The latest example comes from sailing, where David Dalli, a National Judge, has received a World Sailing appointment to serve as a member of the International Jury at the Mediterranean Games in Taranto.

Congratulations, David — another sign of the growing recognition of Maltese officials abroad.

Mediterranean Games 2026 Taranto Italy
First day making us proud

Giochi del Mediterraneo Taranto 2026 - Sailing

A light sea breeze today. Race 1 got underway in 10–12 knots, easing to 5–8 knots for Race 2. The conditions suited our sailors and everyone got off to a solid start, with Mia Busuttil finishing 3rd in Race 1.

As expected the standard is very high, with several World and European champions in both fleets.

With five days of racing still ahead, consistency will be key, and so will a cool head.

Results / Place after Day 1:

Name Race 1 Race 2
Matthew Flores 8 4
Katrina Micallef 5 9
Mia Busuttil 3 15
Benjamin Vassallo 15 13
