Discover Valletta

Valletta, The Fortress City, Citta' Umilissima, "a city built by gentlemen for gentlemen" is Malta's capital city: a living, working city, the administrative and commercial heart of the Islands. Valletta is named after its founder, the respected Grand Master of the Order of St. John, Jean Parisot de la Valette. The magnificent fortress city grew on the arid rock of Mount Sceberras peninsula, which rises steeply from two deep harbours, Marsamxett and Grand Harbour.

Started in 1566, Valletta was completed, with its impressive bastions, forts and cathedral, in the astonishingly short time of 15 years, even more remarkable is considering the fact that mechanical tools did not exist at the time and the whole city was built entirely by hand.

Valletta Chartering a yacht in Malta

The Grand Harbour at Valletta is the mooring of choice since it is deep enough for luxury yachts and accommodates tankers of all shapes and sizes. The neighbouring port of Sliema is equally suitable for mooring but the historical and cultural charm of Valletta itself is immediately apparent before landing.

More Details

The Italian pink ornate limestone buildings dominate the inner harbour in contrast to the fortress granite of the outer harbour. Valletta's bastions have obviously had their uses down the ages and we should not be surprised to find that it is common practice at 12 noon for the battery of cannons to discharge a welcoming salute each day. The historical side of some of the port's quaint tradition harps back to the arrival in 1565 of the "Knights Hospitallers of the Order of Saint John." They ended up in Malta after being chased around the Mediterranean by the Turks. By defending the city during the so-called "Great Siege" and for seeing off a vastly superior Turkish armada, they were rewarded by the Emperor Charles V, with life tenure of the Maltese islands. The deal was that the Emperor required in return, various religious devotions and a yearly rent of one falcon . He also funded the islands as "a last castle of Christianity"and allowed Jean de la Valletta, the Grandmaster, to build much of the fortress we see today. During World War II the "Luftwaffe" tried to bomb Malta into submission, but anti-aircraft guns and the Royal Navy's "Force K" based in the Grand Harbour together with the RAF helped to defend the island. This island base was a major source of harassment to German and Italian forces in North Africa, although at the height of the bombing in 1942 the docks were very heavily damaged. There were also many civilians injured but few serious casualties. In token of their stalwart defence the people of Malta were awarded "The George Cross" and it is this history that makes Malta such a tourist attraction. For the yachting enthusiast who goes ashore at Valletta the two "must-see" places are the UNESCO designated "Hypogeum Ruins" dating back to 3600 BC (tickets from the National Museum in Valletta) and also the magnificent Renaissance Cathedral of Saint John which is home to two Caravaggio masterpieces "The Beheading of St. John the Baptist" and the full length oil painting of "St. Jerome." Elsewhere in Valletta one can explore the "Casa Rocca Piccola" where paintings, photographs and antique furniture recalls 400 years of Maltese nobility. In addition the Republic Square open air restaurants surrounding the imposing statue of Queen Victoria have nearby the 18th Century Bibliotheca's reading room which provides the historian with an entire history of the Knight's of St. John and Charles V's Donation deal. In Old Theatre Street the naval bars and theatres are a source of nightlife entertainment and are crowded with tourists in the Carnival season. In Valletta the lively carnival starts next year on 12th February 2010 and can be expected to continue as part of the "run-in" to the Christian season of Lent. In fact, both in Valletta, Floriana and in Gozo it is a colourful carnival to enjoy oneself before the Lenten fast. The events are free of charge and end with a grand firework display.

PRESENTING PERINI NAVI YACHT

Sailing yacht BARACUDA VALLETTA is a 50-meter aluminum ketch, features many important project innovations. Her retracting keel passes from 4 meters to 9.7 meters and the transom door can be almost entirely opened up and transformed into a large swimming platform. Boasting a Ron Holland design, the 50-meter sailing yacht is already known for her excellent sailing performance.  This  Perini Navi built mega yacht also makes a strong visual impact on several fronts, primarily by the color of the hull which is metallic gray with shades of gold, the unusual rectangular windows, and the sails which come in flaming purple.

Interiors of the superyacht BARACUDA VALLETTA are based on extreme simplicity and clear lines. Conceived British architect John Pawson, the guru of modern minimalism, interior design is based on the concepts of light, space, and proportion. Indeed, the yacht’s volume and use of space amaze Perini Navi yacht charter enthusiasts.

Upon entering the main saloon, it is clear than Pawson has achieved his goal of stunning yet subtle effects. The main deck is an open living space.  It has a central staircase and no partitions. The design aim is for a much clearer and unencumbered vision.  Subsequently the case on sailboats as opposed to motor yachts. The walls and bulkheads are of white lacquer and parchment.  Specifically, the latter chose not only for the subtle beauty of its color and texture.  In addition, for the way it serves to soften or “dematerialize” the central stair volume. Pawson’s architectural background is evident in the spatial fluidity that links the wheelhouse, the main saloon, and the aft cockpit.

Her aluminum hull has aggressive, aerodynamic lines.  They are an unconventional color.  In specific, metallic gray with shades of gold.  In addition, this combines with the silvery reflections of the superstructure. This contemporary appeal echoes in the portholes. Specifically, in an unusual rectangular shape.

The two aluminum masts are shades of silver.  The main mast is 56.7 meters or 186 feet.  Her mizzen mast is 42.9 meters or 140 feet.  In addition, the carbon fiber boom.  All 3 designs built by Perini Navi’s Mast Division team. The 1,416m² (15,241 square foot) sail area is a flaming purple.  Further, a chromatic effect with a strong visual impact.

Baracuda Valleta

About luxury yacht baracuda valleta.

Baracuda Valletta is a magnificent luxury sailing yacht built by the famous Italian shipyards Perini Navi. Its aluminum hull, tapered rudder, elongated waterline, and tilting keel are perfect for experiencing a luxurious escape sailing around Greece in summer or the Caribbean in winter.

This Perini Navi sailboat can accommodate up to ten people in five luxurious cabins located on the lower deck: the master suite and four guest cabins. All cabins onboard Baracuda Valletta have ensuite bathrooms.

John Pawson, a guru of minimalism, designed the Baracuda Valletta. The result is a minimalist and luxurious sailing yacht that highlights all the know-how of his craft. The extended windows provide natural lighting and a panoramic view. The main deck is designed as a living space, without partitions, to keep a clear and panoramic view. The style and philosophy of the project are straightforward and allow clean lines with concepts of light, space, and proportion to run the show.

The aft end of the yacht can be opened almost entirely to transform it into a large platform for launching tenders and swimming.

Renting a luxury sailing boat such as the Baracuda Valletta in the Caribbean will allow you to sail comfortably around the British Virgin Islands, Saint Martin in the north, or Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Tobago Cays in the south during winter or around the Mediterranean sea during summer. The Barracuda Valletta sailboat brings the authenticity, elegance, and comfort that you are after when you plan to charter a luxury sailing yacht 50m and above around the Caribbean or Mediterranean.

Bayesian Yacht Sinking: Climate Change Created Perfect Storm for Waterspouts

The waterspout blamed for the deadly sinking of a luxury superyacht carrying the British tech billionaire Mike Lynch in Italy has been called a freak “black swan” event. But scientists believe this kind of marine tornado is becoming more common with global warming.

While the cause of the sinking of the Bayesian hasn’t officially been determined, weather conditions and witness reports from Sicily, where the yacht was anchored off the coast, have led experts to suspect a waterspout, a whirling column of air and water mist. The key factor for waterspout formation is warm water—and the past year has seen the ocean surface heat up to record-breaking temperatures , in part due to climate change.

“If this rate of warming is going to be continuing in the future, it’s very possible these phenomena will be common and not rare,” says Michalis Sioutas, a meteorology PhD who studies waterspouts in Greece and is a board member of the Hellenic Meteorological Society. “It’s very possible to talk about waterspouts or even tornadoes and extreme storms becoming common.”

The 180-foot Bayesian sank in a matter of minutes after being caught in a sudden storm with strong winds and intense lightning at around 4 am on Monday. Fifteen people who had been aboard were rescued, and one person was found dead. Six people are missing, including British tech billionaire Mike Lynch, who was recently cleared of fraud charges over the sale of his company to Hewlett-Packard. On Wednesday, the bodies of five people were recovered from the sunken ship but have yet to be identified.

Fishermen saw a waterspout near the yacht shortly before it sank, and a nearby schooner was tossed about by what its captain, Karsten Borner, called a “hurricane gust,” which he believes capsized the Bayesian . Experts have said the conditions were ripe for a waterspout.

This extreme weather phenomenon occurs when warm, moist air rises rapidly over water, spinning as winds change direction at different heights. The result is a long, bending funnel of spray between the water and the clouds, tapering off as it rises as much as 10,000 feet into the heavens.

It comes in two flavors. The more vanilla kind is a fair weather waterspout , which forms in relatively calm and even sunny conditions, often under a billowy cumulus cloud. It happens more often in places like the Great Lakes and the Florida Keys, reaches wind speeds of 50 miles per hour, and usually breaks up before it can cause significant damage.

Then there are severe waterspouts, essentially tornadoes over water, which “are another beast” entirely, according to Wade Szilagyi, a retired forecaster at the Meteorological Service of Canada who now directs the International Center for Waterspout Research. These tornadic waterspouts can move from land to water, or vice versa, and twist at 125 miles per hour or more. They’ve been known to throw debris, rip apart buildings, and overturn boats.

A waterspout documented by Sioutas in Methoni, Greece, in 2004 picked up a boat and sent it sailing through the air, striking and killing a 10-year-old boy. Last year, a sudden storm and waterspout with winds of over 40 miles per hour overturned a tourist boat carrying off-duty intelligence agents on Italy’s Lake Maggiore, killing four. Sioutas says waterspouts can even generate “massive water displacements similar to tsunamis,” citing the gigantic waves that struck the coast of the Greek island of Samos during a 2004 cyclone, tossing boulders like toys.

Tornadic waterspouts spring up only in stormy weather with strong winds, lightning, and sometimes hail, and are the product of two main ingredients: wind shear and rising, unstable air. The process begins when masses of cold and warm air collide. This brings together winds from different directions that start to spin around each other, creating vortices. If a thunderstorm also converges in the area, it can provide the instability, sucking warm air up into itself at dizzying speeds. Over water, it starts carrying moisture up as well. Szilagyi compares the waterspout’s development to a twirling figure skater.

“You can think of the skater, if she just spins around normally, that’s like the little vortex that’s already started,” he says. “But if she brings her arms in, then that’s like the column of that unstable warm air, pulling, stretching that vortex upward. She starts to spin faster.”

Waterspouts have been known and feared since ancient times. In the 1550s in Malta, a waterspout plowed through the harbor of Valletta, reportedly destroying an armada of warships and killing hundreds of people. It’s even thought that old stories of fish or frogs raining down on land may be the product of waterspouts sweeping the creatures up into the clouds.

Now global warming may be supercharging the phenomenon. The International Panel on Climate Change has not found a definite link—there hasn’t been much research into how climate change may be affecting waterspouts—but experts say that the conditions for waterspouts to form are happening more often. A 2022 study of 234 waterspouts in the Spanish Mediterranean over the past three decades found that they were more likely to break out when the sea surface was warmer, especially above 23 degrees Celsius (73 degrees Fahrenheit). And water temperatures are now at unprecedented levels.

Last year was the warmest on record for the ocean. The heat content of the upper 6,500 feet of the seas was the highest ever seen. The seas broke temperature records every single day between May 2023 and May 2024. Marine heat waves struck areas from Antarctica to the Mediterranean.

“Warmer oceans have more energy and more humidity to transfer to the atmosphere, the most important fuels for storms,” says Luca Mercalli, president of the Italian Meteorological Society. “The contrast of warm sea and colder air that flows over energizes vertical winds that could result in downbursts or waterspouts.” (A downburst is a powerful cascade of wind and rain from a thundercloud.)

That perfect storm of waterspout conditions hit Italy around the time the Bayesian sank. In recent days, a mass of high-level cold air has swept down from the Alps and over the country’s western coast, meeting the exceptionally warm air just above the sea surface. Four days before the Bayesian went down, sea surface temperatures were the hottest ever recorded across the Mediterranean Sea, with a daily median of 28.71 degrees Celsius. The ocean near where the Bayesian was anchored has reached almost 30 degrees Celsius this week, four degrees higher than the 20-year summer average, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.

Cold and warm air clashed. Winds started spinning, and overheated water provided the ingredient of instability needed for a waterspout outbreak. As a result, a total of 28 waterspouts were documented off the western coast of Italy from August 17 to August 20, according to the International Center for Waterspout Research.

The total number of waterspouts reported has been increasing in recent years, although a major factor has been that more people are able to capture them with phone cameras and post them on social media, Szilagyi says. But he says that warming waters and a longer waterspout season due to climate change are also contributing. In particular, he believes the number of severe waterspouts are on the rise.

“With the increased water temperatures, that’s probably resulting in more frequent tornadic waterspouts,” Szilagyi says. “There’s no scientific evidence yet that they’re getting even stronger. It’s just that they’re becoming more frequent.”

Warming sea waters are also expected to boost other extreme weather events like Mediterranean hurricanes, or “medicanes,” one of which contributed to the flash flood that killed thousands of people in Libya last year .

In this brave new world, countries need to improve early-warning systems and invest more in research to forecast and observe trends in waterspouts, scientists say. “We have to prepared for more dangerous waterspouts possibly in the future,” Sioutas says. “Significantly warmer waters contribute very significantly to the creation of waterspouts, especially the violent ones.”

Updated 8-22-2024 1:15 pm BST: A previous version of the story stated that the ship’s mast had snapped; this detail has been removed as damage to the mast has not been confirmed.

The Morning

Out of season.

Summer’s coming to a close soon. You’re still, to some extent, in control of how you spend the time.

By Melissa Kirsch

You are going to encounter people this weekend who will tell you that there’s one week left of summer. You don’t have to believe them. You don’t have to be one of them.

You can join me and the other equinoctials (do you think this term could catch on?) who live by the almanac. We’re not going gentle into our woolly cardigans until Sept. 22, the actual first day of fall. We’re savoring every last tomato, still sentimental about late sunsets, weirdly fond of that residual itch in a fading mosquito bite.

Every time summer turns to fall, I do this. I try to articulate to anyone who will indulge me why one time of year is better than another, to make a case for why light and warm is superior to dark and cold. It’s a losing game: I’m burning whatever daylight is left arguing for why the earth should revolve differently, powerless against nature. I feel like Werner Herzog in “Burden of Dreams,” railing at the jungle: “Even the stars up here in the sky look like a mess. There is no harmony in the universe.”

There is no harmony in the universe, so we try to create some with the calendar. Labor Day arrives and we shift gears, shift wardrobes and menus and mind-sets. Maybe our gaits get faster. Summer self is self-indulgent; fall self is all determination. Summer self puts things off and fall self gets things done. There’s a harmony and a rhythm to our seasonal incarnations that keeps things interesting, divides existence intomovements: adagio, andante, allegro.

“Transitions are hard,” a colleague said to me today. She was joking around, being melodramatic about how she’d just arrived at the office and needed a minute to collect herself before a meeting began. But the transition from summer to fall, as anyone who’s ever tried to get a child ready for the first day of school can tell you, can be a particularly challenging one. And it doesn’t necessarily get better when you’re decades removed from going to school yourself. Summer’s all potential, all expectation. The end of summer is, inevitably, some of that potential unrealized, some of those expectations unmet. A little mourning might be appropriate.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Whether you believe that summer’s finito in a week or that we’ve still got time, there’s this weekend to exploit. This weekend, late August, 2024, wherever you find yourself, however you find yourself. Will you be stocking up on school supplies? Dropping someone off at college? Will you spend the weekend hunting down the perfect peach? Maybe you’re working, or worrying, or lying in a hammock watching the clouds. What do you want to do? How do you want things to go? This weekend, like every weekend, you’ve got choices.

How to cope with fall anxiety.

“In August, I feel acutely how lucky I am to belong to a species for whom yearning has no season.” Margaret Renkl on the end of summer .

It’s not too late to attend to your summer bucket list .

CULTURE CALENDAR

By Desiree Ibekwe

🎸 Short ‘n’ Sweet (Out now): Sabrina Carpenter became pretty famous this year. Her song “ Espresso ” was near ubiquitous, so much so that it started a conspiracy theory about why Spotify seemed to be recommending it to everyone, no matter their taste. Carpenter also supported Taylor Swift on tour, and social media buzzed about her relationship with the “Saltburn” star Barry Keoghan.

Given her sudden ubiquity, it might be surprising learn that this is Carpenter’s sixth album. Her star has been a slow burner. She was, as Shaad D’Souza wrote in The Times, formerly a member of “ pop’s middle class ”: internet favorites whose celebrity outmatched their commercial success. This album — and her tour, which begins next month — will likely solidify her pop ascendancy.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

By Melissa Clark

Sweet Corn Pudding

It’s been an excellent corn season here in the Northeast, with the ears in green-husked profusion at farmers’ markets everywhere. I like to spend the first few weeks of corn season devouring them simply, just boiled, buttered and salted. But a month in, it’s time to branch out and add juicy kernels to salads, sautés, sheet-pan meals and even dessert. Eric Kim’s sweet corn pudding is a mild, creamy custard based on majarete, a popular treat in parts of Latin America. It’s made by simmering corn cobs in milk, then using the infused liquid as the base of a cornstarch-thickened pudding scented with vanilla. As an added bonus, the cook gets to nibble on the milk-poached corn on the cob, a delicious byproduct that gives you something to snack on while waiting for the custard to chill.
