MAKE THIS SUMMER ONE TO REMEMBER WITH BOV’S BOAT & YACHT FINANCE
Sunny days are here, and the beautiful summer season is in full swing. Brighter and longer days are upon us, and most people spend time at the beach during the day and unwind with a cold drink by night.
If, like many others, you long for these summer days, you might enjoy the sight of someone far out on a boat while lounging near the sea. Watching them enjoy sunsets or a secluded swim without the hustle of crowded beaches evokes a sense of solitude and peace, something to envy a bit.
If your financial situation keeps you from acquiring the boat you promised to get in the summer, then this year might be the year you finally make your dream a reality.
BOV Boat & Yacht Finance is designed to make your dream of owning a boat or yacht a reality. With a maximum loan amount of €500,000, Bank of Valletta covers 80% of the purchase price, so you will only need to contribute the initial 20%. Repayments can be spread over a maximum of 15 years, ensuring the monthly repayment amount is manageable.
If your financial situation improves over time, you can pay the total amount earlier without additional fees. BOV Boat & Yacht Finance is offered at a competitive variable interest rate of 3% over the Consumer Lending Bank Base Rate of 2.45%.
At Bank of Valletta, they can make summer 2024 one to remember. Visit one of their branches or book an appointment online to see how you can benefit from the attractive products on offer.
Based on a loan amount of €100,000 at a variable interest rate of 5.45% p.a. over a term of 10 years, including the interest margin of 3.00% plus the Consumer Lending Bank Base rate of 2.45%, there are 120 equal monthly instalments of €1086.54 over a term of 10 years. The total sum payable throughout the term of the loan, assuming the variable interest rate remains unchanged, will be €131,154.80, consisting of €100,000 capital, €30,384.80 interest, and €770 charges (processing fee of €400, legal fee of €250, and updating of searches fee of €120). The APRC will be 5.836%.

RORC Caribbean 600 for Dummies Mike Broughton has competed in 16 Fastnets, 10 Sydney Hobarts and 8 Middle Sea Races, and is now getting organized for the RORC Caribbean 600, a 600nm non-stop race around 11 Caribbean Islands which starts on February 22. “The RORC Caribbean 600 is attracting some of the world’s best yachts. Top professionals who have done the race before have often found it a tougher race than they had anticipated,” comments Broughton, navigator for the 8th edition of the race on the new Baltic 115, Nikata. “With tropical heat and humidity, combining with tradewinds and unremitting waves, the conditions are physically demanding and there are a lot of sail changes, especially in the first 24 hours.” Broughton, who will be taking part in his sixth RORC Caribbean 600, gives a detailed account of the course: (description assumes a normal Trade Wind direction of 080º – 120º) Fort Charlotte to Green Island (approx. 7nm) You are straight into the action right from the start just outside English Harbour with a beat up to Green Island. With land on the left bending the wind, it makes a lot of sense to stay close to the cliffs; there is also less adverse current inshore. Green Island to Barbuda (approx. 29nm) With about a 125º true wind angle, the leg to Barbuda is fast with reaching sails. There are two banks to watch out for; Three and Four Fathom Bank, which are just to the left of the rhumb line which is generally the best place to be to anticipate the wind freeing as the wind bends around the southern side of Barbuda, about four miles prior to the mark. Barbuda is the only island we race round that is flat, so you won’t see it until about six miles off. Barbuda to Nevis (approx. 50nm) After gybing at the Barbuda mark, it should be a broad reach to the bottom of Nevis. This year the trades have tended to be a bit lighter and are usually lighter still around sunset and sunrise. The approach to Nevis can be close to the south, but ca
