The RC44's 10th anniversary year came to a close at the RC44 Valletta Cup in Malta with one of the closest fought finals in Class history.
Artemis Racing triumphed over Team Nika in the final match race of the year taking the 2016 RC44 Match Racing crown.
Whereas Chris Bake's Team Aqua won the RC44 Valletta Cup by a point from Igor Lah's Team CEEREF, but with a two-point advantage going into this final event, Team CEEREF claimed the overall RC44 Fleet Racing Championship title for 2016 by a point from Team Aqua.
