CSC Two-Island Race 2024

28th January 2024/in Competitive Racing, Regattas, Sailing/by CSC

After sailors had concluded the very successful Signature Sunday Series last weekend, Race Organizers thought it would be a great idea to follow up with another circumnavigation challenge – this time to conquer both the Granite and the Obstacle Island. To the uninitiated, Granite and Obstacle refer to Ubin and Tekong respectively, and the 28.8nM journey around both islands is an exciting navigational challenge in the prevailing NE Monsoon. The winds delivered on time, proving the 13 boats participating with good conditions to possibly re-write some standing records.

In the IRC Class, Minx and Silhouette represented the fleet in a two-way battle. The Beneteau First 40.7 sailed incredibly, despite not flying their spinnaker throughout the course. She was left lamenting what could have been; as their valiant attempt fell just 4 minutes short of the standing IRC record of 4hrs, 11mins and 12 secs, currently held by Waka Tere (2021). Minx fortunately did not experience any spinnaker issues – but were certainly feeling the physical toll of only sailing with 4 persons onboard. The X342 eventually grinded out a convincing victory 6 minutes ahead on corrected time.

Bouncing back from her erratic form during the Signature Sunday Series, Remington lapped up the off-the-wind conditions from yesterday’s race, taking full advantage to etch out a 3min 45sec margin over our friends from the west – RSYC Dua! The little J24 also did not have a great campaign for the Signature Sundays – therefore her 2nd place finish in the Two-Island Race is a step in the right direction and a strong encouragement for the team of budding sailors. Completing the podium winners would be last week’s Round Tekong Race runner-up, Forever Young. She out-sailed Waka Tere, to maintain a margin of less than 1 minute across the finish line, securing her a 3rd place finish on corrected time.

The 12-16 knots of breeze provided the perfect platform for the multihulls and beach catamarans to spread their wings, as they flew around the course at blistering speeds averaging 8-12knots. In an unfortunate twist of fate, the crew aboard Twisted Creature had a bad bout of sea-sickness, forcing the team to retire early. This left Addiction and Nacra 15 to challenge for top spot in the beach catamaran class. The latter prevailed, capitalizing on Addiction’s equipment malfunction and capsize – claiming an easy win over the Viper F16. With the problems he faced, skipper Jeremy Perrier fell just 9mins and 35 secs short of the record time, currently held by Kaze Cat, a Nacra 20 skippered by Damien Geoffray in 2021’s edition.

In the Multihull Class, Kublai Khan conquered the course and rewrote the Two-Island record by 2 mins and 17 secs – completing the passage in a time of 3hrs 10mins and 57 secs. Coincidentally, the previous record held by Ding Hao in 2021 was also skippered by Scott McCook – the veteran multihull sailor continues to set the performance standards for the fleet. Miss Visayan comes in a close 2nd, and the surprise package in the class was a small one – Gogga! The little insect fumbled a little on the downwind after the start, but stabilized to keep up with the corsair fleet, earning Clive a well-deserved place on the podium.

Thank you everyone for joining us for the Two-Island Race 2024 – we had a blast watching all 13 boats complete the course at an incredible pace. We hope the wind maintains for the next few weeks, as we close in on the Catamaran Championship (3-4 Feb), Singapore Regatta (16-18 Feb), Trimaran Championship (24-25 Feb), Commodores Cup (2-3 Mar) and Bintan Regatta (29-31 Mar). See you all soon.

CSC Optimist Championship (Gold) 2024 – Day 2

22nd January 2024/in Cruising/by CSC

On the culminating chapter of the CSC Optimist Championships 2024, we were finally graced by impeccable weather! The sun was out, casting a luminous glow on the seawater which added to the positive atmosphere of our sailors. This weather was highly welcomed, especially when juxtaposed with yesterday’s miserable conditions. For all 3 races today, Pennant 1 was flown, signalling a Windward-Leeward course for them all.

Despite the idyllic conditions, many tough obstacles presented themselves to the sailors which made it a challenging day for racing, with one being in the form of robust currents pushing sailors downwind. Furthermore, as we ventured deeper into the afternoon hours, the initially promising winds began to die down. This made it an exceptionally difficult start for race 6, with nearly half the fleet failing to cross the start line within the 4-minute window. As such, this day proved to be a test of the true abilities of the sailors to navigate such conditions.

The overall champion for this regatta is none other than the talented Ethan Chia (121), Lucas Cao Zhihong (149) maintains his position as the first runner-up with 5 points in front of the third placer to spare. Completing the top 3 is Sean Kum Kok Wei (142) who managed to overtake Ethan Lee (4416) for the last podium spot. Our winners for the Female Category and 12 Years & Under Category are Germaine Sim (3177) and Ashlyn Tham (4452), with Ashlyn snagging prizes for all categories! A very well done to these amazing sailors!

For the CSC team, Lyric Li Yuxuan (728) heads the pack with a final 15th place overall. Side-by-side in the rankings are Yong Heng Yi (755) and Charles Kong (716), who have both performed amazingly to secure 20th and 21st overall respectively! Jade Yeh Zi Yu (798) is another CSC representative part of the top 30 with consistent results in all her races. In addition to our top sailors, the rest of the CSC team has also done well the past 2 days!

A big thank you to the Race Committee, Coaches, Parents and Volunteers for your tireless work in ensuring our sailors are always safe. Lastly, thank you to all sailors for giving your best efforts for this championship.

Congratulations to all the winners – we hope to see everyone at the next CSC regatta again!

Signature Sunday Series 2024 (Round Tekong Race)

22nd January 2024/in Competitive Racing, Regattas, Sailing, Signature Sundays/by CSC

After an unpredictable range of weather conditions during the week, the NE Monsoon winds that arrived on Sunday came as a pleasant surprise for sailors participating in the Round Tekong Race. As the name suggests, participants circumnavigate pulau tekong in this 3rd and final instalment of the CSC Signature Sunday Series. A total of 21 boats were on the start line – an incredible turn-out for all classes.

There were clear winners in the Multihull and Beach Catamaran Class, as Kublai Khan and Addiction completed the series with an unblemished record of 3 bullets from 3 races. Both boats were clinical in their finishing, and will look to build on the good performance during the Trimaran and Catamaran Championships in February. The 2nd boat to cross the line in the Multihull Class for the Round Tekong Race was Miss Visayan – but her efforts were not enough to secure a place on the overall podium, having missed out on the Round Ubin Race. Series runner ups to Kublai Khan are Bula and Dot Dot Dot, having placed 3rd and 4th respectively in the Round Tekong Race.

Twisted Creature bounced back from a 6th place finish during the Felkin Buoy Race to sneak ahead of Balqis II yesterday – placing 2nd by just under 10 seconds on corrected time. Her performance was good enough to secure Matt and Kellie 2nd overall 7 points behind winners Addiction. Balqis II scored the best of the rest, placing 3rd in both the Felkin Buoy Race and Round Tekong Race to complete the podium for the beach catamaran class. Special mention to Pac Man, skippered by Michael Huffines. The father-son duo scored respectably this series, successfully circumnavigating Tekong with one of the youngest crew in the fleet and placing 4th twice over 2 weekends!

The Keelboat PY Class saw Marut claim her first overall event title under the helmsmanship of Skipper Guilherme. The Portuguese sailed brilliantly to notch another bullet, finishing the series with 4 points as overall champion in Signature Sunday Series, PY Class. 2nd around pulau tekong is an experienced sailor on his new boat – Forever Young! The young 84 previously of Shoon Fung Too fame had recently been refurbished, and now comes under the care of skipper Jasper Knoben. While she is nowhere in contention for the overall series, her strong performance bodes well for next week’s Two-Island Race. Three 3rd place results in three weekends consolidated Waka Tere’s position in 2nd for the overall series – making her the most consistent performer in the fleet. Despite poor results in the Round island races, a win during last week’s Felkin Buoy Race secured Remington her place on the podium, taking 3rd with a total of 11 points. The S&S 42 thrives in off-the-wind conditions, especially prevalent during the felkin buoy race.

The fight between the J24 and J29 was concluded yesterday, with the smaller of the two emerging victorious and claiming the 2024 Signature Sunday Series challenge plate for the IRC Class. Jellico was in excellent form on water, making all the right tactical calls on the course. Adona while 2nd, were gracious in defeat, and will be looking to better their performance at the next event. Minx remains the most consistent, scoring her third 3rd place finish for the Round Tekong Race for a total of 9 points for the Series.

Congratulations to all winners, and thank you everyone for participating in the 2024 Signature Sunday Series. We look forward to seeing everyone back this Saturday for the Two-Island Race.

CSC Optimist Championship (Gold) 2024

21st January 2024/in Cruising/by CSC

The Optimist Gold Fleet is back at CSC for another round of racing! In addition to our seasoned sailors, we see some fresh faces who have just been promoted from the Silver Fleet. No matter your level of experience, we will be cheering you on, and we hope everyone accomplishes their personal targets this weekend!

Everyone can unanimously agree that the day’s weather was dreary, to say the least. The rain was incessant, and the chilly air added to the discomfort of being out on water. However, one positive from today’s conditions was the presence of consistent winds. This allowed the race committee to hit the maximum of 4 races, making today a productive one. Also, with all races being the IODA course, it was a valuable opportunity for sailors to refine their strategies beyond the typical Windward-Leeward races.

The names that make up the top set are not unfamiliar. Nobody can doubt that the sailor leading the fleet is Ethan Chia (121), showcasing his customary consecutive bullet finishes once again. Lucas Cao Zhihong (149), who was just shy of placing top 10 in last month’s regatta, is now 2nd overall! He is followed by another Ethan, this time Ethan Lee (4416) who rounds off the current podium. Also as expected, the ladies who command the Female Category are Germaine Sim (3177), Desiree Lee Yuet Chi (4698) and Mikaela Rae Ng (151). Well done to these sailors for their outstanding performance!

Heading the CSC pack is of course Lyric Li Yuxuan (728), her advanced expertise securing herself an impressive 19th overall. Charles Kong (716) has also done fantastically to place himself 21st overall! CSC squadron members who are competing in their first-ever races in the Gold Fleet are Judy Zhang Sudjana (33) and Sayawaki Kogut Leopold (710). Being in 70th and 76th positions respectively, they have done an excellent job despite having a taste of the elevated skill of their competitors. A big congratulations to them for achieving this milestone!

The conclusion of Day 1 of the CSC Optimist Championships (Gold) 2024 marks another successful day of racing. Rest well, and all the best to everyone for the final day!

CSC ILCA & 29er Open (Day 2)

15th January 2024/in Cruising/by CSC

The final day of the CSC ILCA & 29er Open 2024 was characterised by similar conditions except for the absence of rain, an unexpected occurrence in this typically wet monsoon season. The current was yet again as strong as ever by mid-afternoon, however, our sailors have now better anticipated this challenge. Furthermore, with 7 races run in total for the ILCA 6s and 29ers and 6 races for the ILCA 4s, each sailor is allowed to discard only one race. This demands them to operate at the pinnacle of their performance, leaving little room for error.

The ILCA 4s had an interesting set of conditions to battle with, especially in the last race. As the winds subsided and the current picked up, a substantial majority—three-quarters, to be precise—of the fleet found themselves unable to complete the race within the finishing window. In a hard-fought competition, Eitan Oh (222743), Ian Goh (222713) and Sarah Yong (214438) claim the 3 spots on the podium. For CSC’s Tiago Cheng De Villemor Salgado (222437), it seems like Day 1 of the regatta was simply a warm-up exercise for him. His progress has been nothing short of remarkable, evident from consistent top 4 positions in all races today! Also among the CSC squad, Lukas Kiasselbach (221597), Samuel Tan Hardy (221934) and Maia Lim Laurie (223201) have done well too, together with Misa Lim Laurie (223202) who claims the overall champion for the 12 years and under category.

For the ILCA 6s, the podium remains steadfast with no alterations to the top 3 positions. Kenan Tan (205778) takes the gold, followed by Isaac Goh (219158) and Jarrod Toh (214748). Nonetheless, further down the fleet, there has been some reshuffling of the rankings. One such example is Abigail Koh (214237), who improved to 4th overall given her exceptional top 5 finishes in today’s races. Aidan Ang (209051) also makes up for his DNS and RTD from yesterday and is now 12th place from 17th. Additionally, CSC’s Rohit Behl (3) moves up 2 places, while John Gabriel Lim (206799), Caio Sullivan (221931) and James Sullivan (19291) maintain their rankings. A great job to our ILCA sailors!

The victors in the 29er class, Seth Low and Amos Tham (SGP) exhibited unparalleled mastery. Their performance was flawless, marked by a succession of bullet finishes, leaving no room for contention throughout the day. Following them, Nicole Ng Hui Hong / Ezann Sephira Tan (SIN) and Cheryl Yong Heng Xi / Annika Chui (8) exchanged places in the rankings. The former duo claims the coveted second position on the podium, having closely trailed Seth and Amos in each race throughout the day. Josh Ang Shaal (153), although the last in the fleet, did improve from yesterday with 3rd place finishes in most of the day’s races.

Once again, we would like to express our appreciation to the Race Committee, Coaches, Staff and Volunteers for making this all possible. Thank you to all sailors for your unwavering commitment and outstanding performance in this regatta, and see you next time!

Signature Sunday Series 2024 (Felkin Buoy Race)

15th January 2024/in Competitive Racing, Regattas, Sailing, Signature Sundays/by CSC

The NE Monsoon has returned! (and hopefully settled in). The 2nd instalment of the CSC Signature Sunday Series brings competitors on a scenic journey to the west – rounding Felkin Buoy and returning to the Club line to finish. All 24 boats participating were treated to a fresh NNE breeze, with the fastest boat lapping up the course in a blistering 2hr 6mins.

Addiction led the 6-strong fleet of beach catamarans – the largest turn-out in months! It was fantastic to see new entrants Pac Man and the usual suspects of Nacra 15s and Vipers return to race, hopefully a sign of  better attendance in subsequent weeks. Pac Man was a father and son outfit, sailing well to surprise the more experienced lot with a 4th place finish. the remaining podium placings were occupied by both Nacra 15s, with Uli claiming 2nd and Zaheera securing 3rd on Balqis II.

In the Multihull Class, we also saw a healthy fleet of 6, with last week’s Round Ubin Champion, Kublai Khan yet again leading the fleet to score her 2nd bullet for the Series. This Series is now skipper Scott McCook’s to lose, as he enters the final instalment with the lowest score possible. Dot Dot Dot executed her best performance to date, placing 2nd just seconds ahead of Bula in 3rd. With strong performances all round, Bula will be looking to bring their A game at the Round Tekong Race, to consolidate her position on the podium.

The Keelboat PY Class was a very competitive affair, but Sunday’s conditions were cetainly in Remington’s favour. The S&S 42 lapped up the off-wind course, placing well within sight of the lead boat (Waka Tere) to claim victory on corrected time. Waka Tere’s line honours was worthy of a 3rd place finish, as she succumbed on handicap to last week’s Round Ubin Champion, Marut! Good sailing throughout the fleet, as even the last boat finished in a respectable timing of under 5hrs.

The fight for first place in the IRC Class looks to be a two-horse race, as the J29 and J24 in the fleet pull ahead after a strong performance in the Felkin Buoy Race. Round Ubin winners Jellico could not make it consecutive wins, as her big sister Adona registered a dominant performance to claim line honours and a comfortable 4 minute lead on handicap. Jellico’s efforts rewarded her with a 2nd place finish, and Minx completes the winners with another consistent result in 3rd. These three boats enter Round Tekong Race with 3, 3 and 6 points respectively. While Minx has an outside chance, the 2 Js are displaying great form on water.

Congratulations all winners – 24 boats on water makes for a breathtaking view! See you all this Sunday for the Round Tekong Race, the 3rd and final instalment of our CSC Signature Sunday Series.

CSC ILCA & 29er Open 2024 (Day 1)

14th January 2024/in Competitive Racing, One-Design, Regattas, Sailing/by CSC

The new year welcomes the CSC ILCA & 29er Open 2024, a highly anticipated event for ILCA 4, ILCA 6 and 29er sailors eager to test their skills in the Northeast monsoon. The wind hovered at around 0 degrees, and it was a relatively luminous day, notwithstanding the sudden downpour in race 2. Adding to the mix of conditions was the increasing strength of the current as the day progressed. By race 4, the lighter ILCAs had a formidable challenge to hold their ground and not get pushed too far out. For the race committee, it was a successful day overall with sufficient races run for all boat classes.

While the ILCA 6s and 29ers completed 4 races for the day, the ILCA 4s had to settle for 3 instead. With many crossing the line too early, the AP and Black flags had to be flown to ensure all races had a satisfactory start. Making up the top 3 are Sarah Yong (214438), Gabi Oh (224461) and Eitan Oh (222743), with 11 points separating the three sailors. However, Eitan might have to watch his back as he is tied in points with Ian Goh (222713) at 4th place. Notable contenders from the CSC team are Tiago Cheng De Villemor Salgado (222437), placing 14th in his first ILCA regatta, and Lukas Kiasselbach (221597) who is just 2 places behind Tiago. Youngling Misa Lim Laurie (223202) is also at the forefront of the 12 years and under category! Well done to our sailors!

The ILCA 6s consist of a small pack of 19, yet it brought some exciting rivalry between the adept sailors. After registering at least top 4 finishes in today’s races, Kenan Tan (205778) from RVYC is comfortably in the lead. Also from the same club, Jarrod Toh (214748) now places 3rd, a great showing in this competitive fleet. Sandwiched between Kenan and Jarrod is CSC’s Isaac Goh (219158), who performed superbly with bullet finishes in 2 out of 4 races. Kudos to the ILCA 6 sailors for their impressive endurance despite the tiring day they had!

Now, the 29ers. Duo Seth Low and Amos Tham (SGP) take the provisional lead after consistent top 2 placings in all 4 races today, while Cheryl Yong Heng Xi and Annika Chui (8) sit behind them by 3 points. Trailing behind the latter are Nicole Ng Hui Hong and Ezann Sephira Tan (SIN), who unfortunately had their bullet finish in race 1 erased after a disqualification. Perhaps race 1 brought an air of bad luck, as Josh Ang Shaal (153) capsized before the start and was handed a DNS. Amid the colourful spinnakers and bright sails, his boat rounds off the fleet for the 29ers.

A great job to the sailors today for their perseverance despite the volatile conditions. Have a well-deserved rest, and good luck to all tomorrow!

Signature Sunday Series 2024 (LHK Round Ubin Challenge)

8th January 2024/in Competitive Racing, Regattas, Sailing, Signature Sundays/by CSC

So. Much. Rain. The first instalment of the annual Signature Sunday Series was plagued with an incessant downpour throughout the entire day, leaving sailors soaked to the bone as they persevered for over 3 hours in the wet and cold to complete the circumnavigation of Pulau Ubin.

It was a miserable first half hour after the start, as sailors struggled with an outgoing tide and extremely light air – claiming a number of casualties. Escaping the situation near unscathed was Kublai Khan, skippered by Scott McCook. Having placed 3rd in last year’s Round Ubin Challenge and winning last year’s Round Tekong Race on a Weta, Scott commenced this year’s challenge in pole position, chased by the smallest multihull in the fleet, Tantrum. The remaining 5 Multihulls had to play catch-up, as they grappled to escape the misery at the start line. Kublai Khan eventually took line honours and victory by a comfortable margin – thankfully with the wind settling in as well. After a poor start, Bula redeemed herself on the course, clawing her way back to 2nd, placing well ahead of Phoenix and Tantrum. of the 2 challengers, the little Tantrum excelled in the light winds and edged ahead on corrected time, claiming 3rd on the podium in the Multihull Class.

The PY Keelboat Class was represented by a total of 6 Keelboats, with defending champions Brio returning to contend for the 2024 Challenge Trophy. She faced stiff competition in the form of Waka Tere (winner of the 2023 Round Tekong Race, IRC) as well as Marut (previously held the Round Ubin record when she was named Dream). Amidst late starts, poor visibility and unpredictable winds, all three boats featured on the podium. Marut scored her first win of 2024, executing a good start and out-sailing the fleet to place 2nd across the line and 1st on corrected time. Brio’s less-than-ideal start may have costed her title, but it was a solid recovery from the sonar as she was a deserving runner-up. Also having to recover from a poor start, Waka Tere performed well despite the odds – rewarding Kurt and Gill with line honours and a respectable 3rd. We also had a visiting yacht joining us for the NE Monsoon Sailing Festival – RSYC Dua! Unfortunately her inexperience sailing in these waters showed yesterday, as she passed Serangoon Buoy on the wrong side – squandering her best efforts to circumnavigate Ubin.

In the IRC Class, we see a revival of the fleet. Silhouette and Jong Dee return to join the fray after a long hiatus, boosting the class to 5 on the start line. We also had guest(s) of honour sailing on Minx, daughter and grand-daughter of the late Mr Lock Hong Kit. Uncle Kit was an esteemed Member of Changi Sailing Club, and had made significant contributions to the sailing community in Singapore. His knowledge and experience in sailing and racing was second to none, and the round ubin challenge was his favourite race in the annual sailing calendar. We are proud to name this race after him, and happy to have his family continue sailing with us. Adona mounted an admirable title defense in the IRC Class, but fell victim to the doldrums on the final stretch to finish. Despite claiming line honours, her lead was insufficient to fend off archrivals Jellico, whose time of 3hr 38mins 15 sec while nowhere near the fastest was sufficient to unseat the J29 and score victory on corrected time. Minx and her special guests onboard sailed a good race as well, completing the podium in 3rd.

Not exactly fun conditions for the beach catamaran class this Sunday, as the crew aboard the 2 vipers were exposed to the elements over the entire afternoon. Kudos to Addiction and Twisted Creature for braving the weather to complete the circumnavigation. The former crossed the line ahead despite her late start (as usual), successfully defending her title for 2 consecutive years.

Congratulations to all the winners! It was great to see a healthy turn-out of 20 boats on the start line for the first race of the NE Monsoon Sailing Festival. Although winds were atypical, we’re just glad we managed to secure the first race of the season! Fingers crossed, less rain and more winds for next week’s Felkin Race – see you then.

Hangover Race 2024

2nd January 2024/in Competitive Racing, Regattas, Sailing/by CSC

Happy New Year to all!

We welcome the year of the dragon with a fresh dose of rain, washing away any doubts or regrets one may have lingering from 2023. The usual suspects came to play on Monday, together with a few new additions. 2 birds and an Addiction increased the fleet to 8 on the start line. However the intensifying rain and poor visibility meant that AP Flag had to be displayed, as Race Organisers contemplate the next steps.

The long wait resulted in 1 casualty, as the lone dinghy sailor decided to de-rig and retreat to the safety of the bar. Racing resumed at 3pm – taking the remaining 6 boats on a short course between Changi Buoy and CSC 1. Remington got careless on the start line, resulting in a prolonged contact with the buoy. The delay at the start line may have eventually reduced her chances for winning in the PY category, as Eagle had made significant gains from a clean start. Despite being overtaken by Waka Tere, the Eyghteen 24 had performed well enough to claim victory by about 30 seconds on corrected time, in addition to making it within the time-limit of 2 hours.

In the Multihull Class, Mike Flecker once again impressed the fleet with his solo effort aboard Bula, claiming top spot ahead of Phoenix and Dot Dot Dot to make it 2 consecutive wins over the new year. (With the help of some paddling and sculling) Addiction once again made it to the start line with nothing to spare, starting the race late and completing the race ahead of everyone while representing the beach catamaran class. The veteran Viper intends to participate regularly this NE Monsoon season – we hope she will be joined by the rest of the resident catamaran fleet.

Thank you all for racing with us on the first day of 2024 – see you this Sunday for the Lock Hong Kit Round Ubin Challenge!

NYE Twilight Race

1st January 2024/in Regattas, Competitive Racing, Sailing, Social/by CSC

Every year the Club organizes a Twilight Race on 31st December – usually attracting a large number of participants celebrating New Year’s Eve. 2023 was however surprisingly quiet, with only a total of 5 boats on the start line. Prevailing wind conditions initially blew from the North West, but slowly moved to a North-Northeasterly direction later in the afternoon. The grey skies and unrelenting waves of rain made for a dramatic backdrop for the sail between Squance and Changi.

Many thanks for the support from Waka Tere, Remington, Bula, Dot Dot Dot and Rohit Behl on ILCA 6 – it was a refreshing change to have all 5 boats from 3 different classes starting together! The S&S 42 triumphed over the Nelson in the Keelboat class – with the latter struggling to extend her lead especially with the course being shortened mid-way. The 2 trimarans in the multihull Class were solo-sailed by their respective skippers, with Bula confidently taking the lead and maintaining it all the way until she made it across the finish line. Rohit Behl was the only dinghy sailor racing, but he made the most of his time on water. He lapped up the breeze as it picked up later in the race – lamenting about the shortened course upon his return to shore. He will hopefully be joined by more dinghy sailors for 1st January’s Hangover Race.

Thanks again everybody for celebrating on NYE with us! Despite the small numbers, it was all smiles on water and plenty of cheer at the bar. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on New Year’s Day for the 2024 Hangover Race.
