CSC Twilight Series II 2026 – Race 2
Faced with overcast skies and diminishing visibility to the east, sailors lining up for the second race of the Twilight Series II braced themselves for what looked set to be a wet and dramatic evening on the water. Setting off towards Changi against a strengthening outgoing tide, all 11 boats made quick work of the opening beat. However, progress slowed considerably as the fleet encountered strong currents enroute to Squance. Fortunately, there was enough breeze to carry the multihulls around the full course, while race organisers took the prudent decision to shorten the course for the keelboats.
In the Multihull Class, Dot Dot Dot and Bula were finally joined by a third competitor as Miss Visayan returned to racing after an extended repair and maintenance hiatus. The Corsair proved immediately competitive, matching Bula stride for stride all the way to the finish. Emerging victorious, Gary and his crew were all smiles back at the bar, capping off a successful return to racing. Both boats will be joined by Sirius Swift and Oojoo at next week’s RSYC Regatta, giving Changi Sailing Club a full representation in the Multihull Class.
The Keelboat PY fleet saw seven boats on the start line, with more than half the fleet measuring 25 feet or less. In the gusty and patchy conditions, the lighter, more nimble boats excelled, staying within striking distance of their larger rivals before prevailing on corrected time. Taking top honours was the 23-foot Jeanneau Fun, Marut. Having been absent from racing for some time, her victory came as a pleasant surprise for Gui and Yanjia. Marut edged out Jock by just one minute, with Nadine and the JockStars recovering impressively from a poor start to secure second place. Completing the podium was Boreas, with MJ and crew delivering a much-improved performance over their Twilight Series debut. Joined by new CSC member Donna, the four-person team found excellent rhythm on the course to claim third.
Although once again the sole entrant in the IRC Class, Atul and his family looked completely at home aboard Simba. While competition is always exciting, they reminded us that some of the greatest satisfaction in sailing comes simply from being out on the water together.
Back ashore, sailors gathered for the prize presentation, followed by the Club’s very first Members’ Night held on a Saturday evening. The turnout was extremely encouraging, and the event was warmly received by members. Serenaded by singer Deborah Jean Lee, the Ubin Lounge came alive as sailors, families and friends celebrated another enjoyable evening of racing together.
We wish all CSC teams the very best at the upcoming RSYC Regatta and Western Circuit Sailing Regatta. Safe sailing, fair winds, and we’ll see everyone back on the starting line when racing resumes on 23 August.
