Challenging Twilight Series II Finale

/in , /by

Light and shifty winds paired with a strong incoming tide gave sailors a challenging finale to the Twilight Series II.

Winning In Style

Coming into the race as Series Leaders and favourite to win the IRC Division Challenge Trophy, Invictus won the Series title for the 2017 Twilight Series II in style. They scored a total of 6 bullets and a victory in the final race, clinching the Trophy.

Jong Dee completed the race in second place, also securing the first runner-up position in the series standing. Waka Tere was third and only four seconds behind Jong Dee after handicap, but poor attendance throughout the series left them in fourth overall. Despite missing out on the last two races for the series due to their participation in the Raja Muda International Regatta, Simba?s consistent performance throughout the series earned them an overall third in the standings.

Consistency Pays Off

The PY Division saw a triumphant Balqis clinch victory in the finale, also securing them a second place in the overall standings. SDF?s fourth place finish, consistent performance and regular attendance in the series bore fruit – winning the overall title for the PY Division.

Clinching third in the overall standings in similar fashion, Big Bad Wolf?s regular attendance for the Twilight Series definitely paid off! Despite a strong finish in the finale by Minx and Wild Card, in second and third respectively, both yachts missed out on silverware in the overall results – placing fourth and seventh respectively.

Jaza Too Blows Through

A strong turnout of six boats and 17 hulls made it an interesting battle amongst the Cruising Multihulls, with Jaza Too prevailing as champions yet again, making it four bullets out of four consecutive Twilight Races! Despite their stellar performance, Jaza Too settled for third overall due to work commitments earlier in the Series. Witblit?s second place result for the final race meant that they tied on points with Jaza Too in the Series – but missed out on podium due to Jaza Too?s superior number of bullets. A third and fourth place finish in the final race meant that close rivals Cicak and Baloo had secured first and second position respectively in the Cruising Multihull Division!
