CSC Twilight Series III 2024 (Race 2)

/in , , , /by

We are fast approaching the 23rd Ambassadors Cup! Sailors take the opportunity to shake out the dust from their sails and get some practice in with the remaining 2 weekends of Club racing before the event. In true inter-monsoon fashion, winds were unpredictable and patchy across the course for the Twilight Series III race 2, making it a challenging sail for all 13 boats participating.

The multihull class was well represented , as Miss V, Sirius Swift, Bula and Kaze return to contest for line honours. An over-zealous Kaze started with a disadvantage, having to dip below the line to exonerate herself from a pre-mature start. She however clawed her way back to the top, finishing seconds ahead of fierce rivals Miss Visayan – talk about a great comeback! Bula emerged the best of the rest, finishing ahead of Sirius Swift to claim 3rd.

We also witnessed some close racing in the PY Class, as sailors bunched up on the first mark rounding at Changi Buoy. While Waka Tere and Sapphire Star pulled ahead early, Birregurra, Remington, Jock and Summer Breeze made it around the mark in quick succession. The 2 boats upfront were sailing with only 2-up, with Waka Tere trying her best to extend her lead. Unfortunately her efforts were insufficient to defend against a slippery Sapphire Star, whose superb performance scored her a victory on corrected time. A pre-mature start did not stop Jock from scoring a place on the podium, as she did well to close the gap with the fleet and claim 2nd on handicap.

It was a battle between a J29, X342 and Dehler 39 in the IRC Class, with the smallest boat sailing the fastest race. Adona reveled in Saturday’s weather, a joint effort by Ad, Luke and the “Australian” earned the team a bullet for Race 2. She successfully quelled another strong solo performance by Lucas, who sailed Minx to a 2nd place finish – pipping Simba for the prize.

Congratulations to all winners, we hope you enjoyed the racing! See you next week for the Sunday Series III, Race 3. And after that, we look forward to bringing the world together on 2nd November.
