CSC Sunday Series II 2026 - Race 4

The haze is back. Amidst the smoggy and uncomfortable weather, sailors took to the start line for the penultimate race of the Sunday Series II. Thankfully, a steady South-Easterly breeze kept the fleet moving consistently around the Pennant 4 course, making for a swift race that saw all participants safely back ashore before 5pm.

It was not without its challenges, of course. Changi Sailing Club’s notoriously shifty winds made for plenty of excitement, and at times, unpredictable racing.

In the PY Keelboat Class, an exciting tussle unfolded between the two Platu 25s, Taranau and Notus, with the pair taking turns to overtake each other through several wind shifts. It was a close contest between Will Kerr’s four-man team and Wonn Kye’s five. While Taranau pipped Notus across the finish line, it was Wonn Kye and team who ultimately claimed the win on corrected time.

Joining the two Platus on the podium was Jock, who quietly sailed her own race further back in the fleet, only to sneak into third place on corrected time.

Leading the fleet and taking line honours was not quite enough for Adona in her latest outing. Skipper Ad Smit sailed his newly acquired Dehler 38 in the Sunday Series for the very first time, and boy, does she have potential. Powered by an eclectic mix of the Adona and Skybird crews, the Dehler 38 successfully and smoothly flew her spinnaker for the first time in many years. Though she finished just outside the podium after handicap correction, her performance certainly bodes well for future races, where she is slated to compete in the IRC Class.

In the Multihull Class, we welcomed back Kaze, sailed by the French duo Xavier and Damien. Despite having been away from the racing scene since the beginning of the year, she looked as though she had never left.

A close contest between Kaze and Miss Visayan ensued, but the 750 eventually established a lead which she successfully defended all the way to Squance and back to the finish line. Bula put in a solid effort as well, but while it was not enough to catch the leaders, it was sufficient to secure her a well-earned third place.

Congratulations to all the winners!
