Monthly Dinghy Race (26 October)
Chance for new winners in this month’s dinghy race!
This month’s dinghy race promises to be an exciting opportunity for emerging sailors to make their mark. With a few of the club’s top sailors sitting this one out, this month’s race is the perfect chance for others to grab a podium spot.
The monthly series has traditionally been dominated by a handful of strong sailors, but their absence this time around is expected to level the playing field. Newcomers and mid-fleet racers tested their skills and able to secure their first podium finish. It’s great to see different sailors step up. These races give everyone valuable experience and keep the competition lively.
Spectators from Changi Beach were lucky to watch closely how racing is done, unpredictable wind shifts and gusts, current flowing like a river and plenty of friendly rivalry on the water. Whether the wind is light or strong, this month’s event is set to showcase the depth of talent across the fleet.
In the ILCA fleet, first time racing, Charles Kong dominated the results winning, a double 1st place for ILCA4 and Open Division. A promising performance from this young sailor, moving up on a bigger and challenging ILCA equipped with his Optimist knowledge.
Brothers Arun and Neel Behl took the top podium finish in the Optimist fleet (Alpha & Charlie). With a back-to-back bullet finish from Neel, this will definitely help him to improve his results and a promising top podium in the leaderboard. The rest of their mates are for sure getting ready for the final race! It will be an exciting finale!
We would like to give thanks to our parents support for always making time to help us out on water and on land. This month’s Officer of the Day (OD) Matthew Kong, onboard with other parents: Daniel, Yvonne and Shahrom together with their youngest son, Ishmail, while their 3 children are racing in different classes. What a great Sunday afternoon to enjoy with family out at sea.
Congratulations to all the winners!
