2022 Sunday Series II Race 4 (Final)
After an incredibly slow Saturday Twilight Race, the wind conditions at the start of the Sunday Series II Race 4 seemed like a treat – a gentle but consistent south-southwest breeze in cool and cloudy weather meant that race organisers could finally plan a full course for all sailors. The pennant 5 flag was displayed, signaling to participants that the route would take the fleet to Serangoon-CSC 1-Squance and back for the finish.
Simba executed a good start for the IRC Class, setting the pace for the david vs goliath match between her and Jellico. Despite creating a significant gap between them, the margin fell just short of 13 seconds to deny the Dehler 39 a weekend double victory. In the overall series, Simba claimed the win comfortably, leading by 6 points. After her win yesterday, Jellico secured her spot in 2nd placing just 1 point ahead of Jong Dee in 3rd.
Our 2 most consistent attendees Birregurra and Marut continued their unwavering support for the Club Series, flying the flag high for both the PY A and B Keelboat Classes. Their participation and victory was mirrored in the overall series results, as both Birregurra and Marut topped the table in their respective classes.
In the Multihull Class, Bula and Miss Visayan kept us on the edge of our seats! The racing was incredibly close, and it was exciting to watch the 2 corsairs coursing through the East Johor Straits in hot pursuit! It was eventually Bula‘s victory, but only by the slimmest of margins; 9 seconds. Bula has also been a consistent supporter of the Club Series, her attendance rivalled by the only other boat on the course – Miss Visayan. Great to see Skipper Michael and his daughter taking turns to helm across the series and performing consistently well.
The Beach Catamaran Class also had a powerful father & child combo, as Addiction bounced back from a late start to claim victory ahead of fellow viper, Babe. The latter had a wet welcome-back sail, capsizing not once, not twice, but 3 times over the course of the afternoon. Nevertheless, it was a good time out and also an opportunity to shake off the rust after the extended break from racing. Addiction won the overall series with 3 bullets from 4 races, the most consistent participant in her class.
Congratulations to all the winners! Despite the small numbers, we are glad to continue with our club series during this period, and the support of our regular boaters on water. We look forward to a relaxing break next week, where we host the children and caretakers from Rainbow Centre Singapore for a morning joy sail (24th September).
Sunday Series III and Twilight Series III commences on 2nd & 8th October respectively. See you at the Club!
