Malta is a group of three main islands situated in the Mediterranean half way between Europe and Africa, a comfortable sail from Sicily (80 miles from Licata). Its capital Valletta has a long and colourful history richly documented in its architecture and culture. A
    fervently Christian country, with a long British rule, mild winters,
    well-protected harbours and a consolidated shipbuilding tradition, Malta
    provides an ideal wintering ground for yachtsmen.
