The four-weekend series featured four short coastal races and two Round the Cans races. Ton Ton Laferla led the series throughout and ultimately came in first place overall. Johnathan Gambin, captain of Ton Ton, ex- pressed his gratitude for the team's sponsors and the success of the boat: "We are thrilled to have won the races. We had strong winds which sometimes created a challenging situ- ation especially on the downwind. We have a new young crew and we still have a lot to get used to, the boat and the team. It can only get better." Commenting on the result, Joint Managing Director of Laferla Insurance, Mark Laferla Jr, said: "We are very pleased and encour- aged by the performance of the Ton Ton Laferla crew as well as the yacht herself and reiterate our long-term commitment to sup- porting the team." Laferla Insurance is proud of the team's stellar performance throughout the series and looks forward to continued success in the upcoming season.
