Sunday Series I 2025 – Race 3

/in , , , /by

“Nice” would not be the best description for yesterday’s weather, but it was apparently the only adjective that came to the race officer’s mind when addressing the 9 participating yachts on the start line for Sunday Series I, Race 3. Not for the the faint of heart, the weather truly tested the sailors’ grit as they navigated torrential rains, poor visibility and gusty conditions to complete the pennant 2 course.

In the Multihull Class, Bula and Dot Dot Dot brought their A-game, taking turns to lead throughout the course. The fleet struggled with the strong outgoing tide on the last upwind to Squance, with Bula successfully taking the lead to edge ahead of Dot Dot Dot by 20 seconds across the line. It was not Miss Visayan’s best performance, settling for 3rd after a late start.

The PY Keelboat Class was reduced to 2, as Jock decided to take shelter early, avoiding a wet sailing adventure into the unknown and keeping warm for the rest of the afternoon. The remaining contestants battled it out on the east johor straits, with Birregurra taking the lead and holding on to it after an initial struggle at the start. The Hanse 415 made light work of the remaining legs, establishing a 25 minute lead on their only rival, Southern Light.

We welcome Shardana back to the fray, joining Jong Dee and Adona on the start line for the IRC Class.  In Skipper Paul’s absence, The Jong Dee team did him proud, securing a convincing win over the J29 and Dufour 34. The J35 stretched her lead over the 3 legs to squance, eventually finishing 14 minutes ahead of Adona to take line honours and win on corrected time. Skipper Tony missed out on a podium position, but looks all ready for this week’s Bintan Regatta campaign!

Congratulations to all winners – we will have a change of scenery this easter weekend, as we welcome a total of 14 boats from CSC, RSYC, MKB and RM to the pristine waters off Bintan for the 3rd Bintan Regatta 2025.
