At Dock Shop, we believe in fostering a vibrant and inclusive community of yachting enthusiasts. Our commitment to supporting local sailing initiatives has led us to proudly sponsor the SB20 Malta Association, a dynamic and passionate community that represents the largest one-design keelboat class in Malta.
About the SB20 Malta Association
Since its inception in 2015, the SB20 Malta Association has rapidly grown into a thriving community of sailors. Attracting a diverse range of participants from various local sailing clubs, the Association has become a cornerstone of the Maltese sailing scene. The SB20 class's popularity is rooted in its one-design principle, ensuring a level playing field where success is determined solely by the team's skill and strategy on race day.
A Flourishing Community
The SB20 Malta Association has successfully cultivated a bustling racing calendar, regularly hosting regattas across different localities. This inclusivity extends to involving all local sailing clubs, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie within the sailing community. The local fleet of SB20 boats, including names like Careful Now, Seriously Bonkers, Team Panda, Outlaw, Maltese Musketeer, Team Chiara, Team Sayonara, and Malta Young Sailors Club, adds vibrancy and competitive spirit to each event.
Supporting Growth and Inclusivity
A standout feature of the SB20 Malta Association is its dedication to nurturing new talent. Through the generosity of boat owners who provide their vessels for beginner coaching sessions, the Association ensures that aspiring sailors have the opportunity to learn and grow within the sport. This commitment to inclusivity aligns perfectly with Dock Shop’s values of community support and development.
A Stunning Setting
The SB20 fleet is based at the Camper & Nicholsons’ Grand Harbour Marina, a stunning location nestled against the historic backdrop of Valletta. This 500-year-old architectural masterpiece and UNESCO World Heritage site provides a picturesque setting for the Association’s activities, enhancing the overall experience for participants and spectators alike.
