It’s good to be back! After a month-long break, the Sunday Series resumed with renewed energy, welcoming our active keelboat, multihull, and beach catamaran sailors for a spirited afternoon of racing in the East Johor Straits. The weather was on our side, with a steady south-westerly breeze greeting the 12-strong fleet on the start line.

Representing a somewhat sparse IRC fleet—many regulars were away on business travel—Adona and Jong Dee kept the flag flying high. The J29, Adona, showed her class, consistently outpacing the J35 throughout the race. In a thrilling battle with the PY frontrunner, Adona kept Waka Tere on her toes along the Pennant 5 course, delivering great tactical sparring throughout. It was also heartening to welcome back Waka Tere’s skipper, returning to racing with his regular crew after a six-month hiatus.

A fleet of five made for an exciting contest in the PY Class. Jock clinched the top spot — a result that reflected her steady improvement throughout Series I. With multiple rating adjustments now behind her, she seems to be hitting her stride, finishing 1 minute and 54 seconds ahead of Southern Light on corrected time. The result was an added cause for celebration for the joyful crew, still in high spirits from Jakub’s 18th birthday — congratulations! Waka Tere rounded off the podium in third, delivering a commendable performance despite an extended break. Also noteworthy was the return of Brio — it was great to see skipper Michael Chung back at the helm after recovering from a back injury.

Four boats contested the Multihull Class, with Bula proving that size isn’t everything. The nimble trimaran out-sailed her larger Corsair 28 sisters to claim the win. Miss Visayan followed about three minutes behind, fending off Dot Dot Dot, who pushed hard but ultimately had to settle for third. Oojoo, sailing 2-up, looked relaxed and composed throughout, though the Dragonfly couldn’t quite match the pace of the front-runners.

A rare but welcomed sight: Twisted Creature made a guest appearance, reminding us that the Beach Catamaran Class, though quiet lately, is very much alive. We hope this inspires other beach cat owners to dust off their sails and join us for a relaxed and fun afternoon on the water. First-timers—don’t worry, we’ll guide you every step of the way!

Congratulations to all winners and participants!
We look forward to seeing everyone again on 12 June for the first race of the Twilight Series II.

The recently concluded GE2025 was one of the most exciting elections in the past 2 decades, with the incumbent and the opposition crossing swords over the last 10 days. With the euphoria over and results in, sailors wasted no time to go sailing post-polling day – with clear skies and a gentle westerly breeze greeting the 8 boats on the start line for Sunday Series I, Race 4.

Not completely unlike the white vs the blue, IRC Class was represented by two strong teams, Adona and Jong Dee. The J35 secured the best start and an early lead, dominating the first leg of the pennant 5 course. Unfortunately the lack of a spinnaker on the downwind leg allowed the smaller of the two Js to close the gap, eventually assuming the lead halfway through the course. Kudos to the three-man effort on Jong Dee, for putting up a good fight and holding on to her lead for a substantial period despite the odds. Adona’s triumph set the stage for a finale showdown between the two teams on 25th May – and we can’t wait to watch!

In the PY Class, a team we have not seen since 2024 made a surprise return to the racing scene, and what fun they had! Skipper Gui was a steady helm of Marut – his 25ft Jeanneau Fun. Together with Lucas and Francesca, the team also did well despite missing a spinnaker, placing 2nd on corrected time – just 13 seconds ahead of Skybird in 3rd! The Dehler 34 had a team of young sailors onboard, and it was the skipper’s first foray into Sunday Series sailing after years of abstinence. The mood was good on the Moody 376, as Team Southern Light made amends for last week’s last-place finish, placing first across the line and on handicap.

Completing the fleet were the duo of trimarans comprising of Miss Visayan and Dot Dot Dot. The two 28 footers were neck and neck the whole course, taking turns to overtake each other. Miss Visayan delivered when it mattered, holding on to a lead of just seconds over Dot Dot Dot across the finish line. Excellent effort from both teams, and what a joy to witness! With Bula’s absence for Race 4, the three contenders are separated by just 1 point going into the final race.

Congratulations to all the winners. Despite the small participation numbers, racing for the first sunday series of 2025 has been nothing short of thrilling! We look forward to a nail-biting finale on 25th May.

The Sunday Series I Race 2 took place on 30th March, eve of Hari Raya. With our operations team knocking off early for the evening celebrations, the remaining staff on duty welcomed the smaller fleet for the Sunday Series, totaling 6 on the start line. Conflicting weather systems made made it a challenging course for all three pairs of boats, representing the IRC, PY and Multihull fleets.

In the Multihull Class, Bula took an early lead on the first leg to Changi Buoy. Dot Dot Dot kept it close throughout the rest of the pennant 3 course, but could not successfully overtake her smaller rival. With her first win for the series and perfect attendance, Bula now has a slight advantage over the absent Miss Visayan, the defending champion for 2024.

The next pair to feature is Jong Dee and Shardana from the Keelboat IRC Class. The J35 and Dufour 34 while similar in length, are rated significantly different from each other – with Jong Dee supposedly the quicker of the two. However the tricky conditions on the course got the better of the team, allowing for Shardana to consolidate her lead and earn a well-deserved victory in Race 2.

Last but not least, Southern Light and Jock represent the Keelboat PY Class, and what an interesting start it was! A slight nudge from the Race Committee perked the Moody 376 in the right direction, switching to race mode and recovering from the late start to attempt catching the more nimble J24 on the first leg to Changi Buoy. She was successful, and eventually pulled ahead on the long stretch to serangoon, putting enough distance between them and Jock to seal a comfortable victory over the Jockstars.

Congratulations to all winners – see you on 5th April for the 2nd race of the Twilight Series I. Here’s wishing everyone Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, have a blessed and joyous celebration with family and loved ones.

On Sunday, the last race for Sunday Series saw 10 boats racing in a different wind and water condition. Westerly wind prevails together with outgoing tide is a race that must be tough situation to be in. Sailors need to adapt their strategies based on the conditions, and on this decisive day, those who can make the best of the condition often come out ahead – leaving the outcome uncertain until the last race. Teams will use all their experience, knowledge, and tactics to outsmart their rivals. In the overall 2024 Sunday Series leaderboard results; Miss Visayan skippered by Gary Curtis remained the champion, an almost perfect score (1^st place on 13 out of 15 races!) what an incredibly well-determined team! Bula (Michael Flecker) stays put in 2^nd place and Dot Dot Dot skippered by David Steel managed to get onto the podium against 3 more contenders in the fleet!

For the Keelboat Club Racer (PY Division), despite missing the last race, Waka Tere skippered by Kurt Metzger did his homework to have enough number of good races to stay on the top the fleet. A very secured 1^st place against 12 boats in the entire series. Coming in the 2^nd place, also missed the last race, Basil Byrnes did not forget to collect races to stay in podium finish. Jock skippered by Suzanne Updike and her team collected the 3^rd place in this year’s overall series results.

We would like to thank all the skippers and their crew for participating every single race weekly! The dedication and sportsmanship amongst the sailors were incredible! Without them, the Twilight and Sunday Series would not be possible. Special thanks to our CSC Race Management team and the staff for their contribution to the smooth running of these events.

Congratulations to all the winners! And thank you for all those who participated in this year’s events!

A very well-deserved holiday break to everyone! See you again on the Hang-Over race, 1^st January 2025!

What a glorious time to be sailing! With a fresh westerly breeze blessing the Johor Straits, accompanied by clear and sunny skies – the conditions were near-perfect for Race 3 of the Sunday Series III. A modest fleet of 8 Keelboats and 3 Multihulls were present yesterday. We suspect many were conserving their energy for our signature sailing-social event next week, the 23rd Ambassadors’ Cup 2024. Despite the small attendance, racing was tight and fierce across all classes, with many battles taken all the way to the finish line!

In the Multihull Class, All three boats were separated by only a minute in total, as Miss Visayan, Bula and Kaze were neck and neck for the entire duration of the race. Gary & Co. fought tooth and nail to hold on to top spot, leaving the battle for 2nd spot between the 2 dashes. it was a mad dash for the finish line, with Bula pipping Kaze across the line by a mere 9 seconds. Bravo to all!

Leading the IRC fleet and outclassing her opponents for the day was the extremely competitive Adona, whose tremendous boat speed meant that she spent much of her time sailing against the Multihulls instead of the Monohulls, establishing a comfortable gap between her and the chasing Js. Ad and team reveled in the prevailing conditions, taking top spot by 2 minutes on corrected time. The tussle for 2nd saw Jellico edge out Jong Dee, as both boats gave it their all on the final downwind to finish,

Leveraging on the stronger breeze, it was refreshing to see Remington return to the podium! The S&S 42 was made to work hard for the win, determined to not let Birregurra and Waka Tere out of sight during the race. Her efforts rewarded her with a victory, just 20 seconds ahead of Jock on corrected time! The Jockstars continue their fine form, and are enroute to finishing the year on a high for both the Sunday Series and the Twilight Series. She is joined by one of the most consistent teams of this season – Waka Tere! Arguable the team that is happiest when they place 3rd in races, the dynamic duo that is Kurt and Gill had 2 extra  pair of hands onboard yesterday, definitely helpful when the winds pick up!

Congratulations to all winners, I look forward to Bringing the World Together with all of you this Saturday!
