CSC Twilight Series II 2026 - Race 4

With the IRC and Beach Catamaran Classes sitting this one out, race organisers were bracing themselves for a potentially smaller fleet for Race 4 of the Twilight Series II. Fortunately, the PY Keelboats and Multihulls turned up in healthy numbers, putting 11 boats on the start line and ensuring there was still plenty of opportunity for sailors to make trouble for one another.

The breeze was a brisk south-easterly, but the course served up the usual Changi Sailing Club special: patchy, shifty and gusty conditions that kept everyone guessing and occasionally wondering whether the wind had any idea where it was going.

In the PY Keelboat Class, Waka Tere led for almost the entire race, leaving the rest of the fleet to scrap over the remaining podium places. Kurt and Gill sailed a strong race and, at times, appeared to be in a completely different weather system from the rest of the fleet, steadily building a comfortable and seemingly insurmountable lead.

The battle for second and third was considerably less settled. Boreas, Jock, Sirocco and Slingshot remained within sight of one another for much of the race, with positions changing as the breeze shifted and the boats hunted for the best pressure.

Unfortunately for Jock, a costly failure to complete her penalty after touching CSC 1 proved decisive, taking her out of podium contention. Meanwhile, the smaller boats eventually prevailed. Skipper Luke, making his maiden race appearance at the helm of Sirocco, and his team were still getting to grips with the nuances of the boat — doing their best to pull away from Slingshot while simultaneously trying to reel in Boreas.

In the end, the GK24 Slingshot claimed 2nd on corrected time, with the Club Charter Platu Boreas taking a close 3rd.

The Multihull Class was every bit as competitive, with all four teams taking turns at the front of the fleet. Oojoo sailed superbly to establish an early lead after rounding Squance, only to be subsequently hunted down and overtaken as the battle intensified.

The two Corsair 750s eventually emerged ahead of the Corsair 28, with Kaze clinching the bullet by just one minute from Bula. Miss Visayan crossed the line another minute behind Bula, making for an extremely tight 1-2-3 finish.

Congratulations to all our winners and, of course, to everyone who made it out onto the water and survived another evening of Changi’s finest breeze.
