Action heats up
Welcome back in Singapore's National Sailing Center and Day 2 of the Fish & Co. Youth Sailing Championships, where Over 370 sailors are enjoying the high level racing. After a great opening day, it was time to tune up gear for another packed day of exciting racing.
In the Optimist fleet is reigning Champion, Muhammad Shah from Malaysia who is focused on defending his title. He has lost some ground due to inconsistency, and currently sits in 7th place. Chasing another year of success are the 2014 silver medallist, Malaysia's Muhammad Rozaini and bronze medallist Raynn Kwok of Singapore. Both have delivered solid performances so far, but points are close and it would be too early to speculate on their chances of repeat successes.
The large fleet in the Byte Class, has so far rewarded those who can find a clear lane and space to make gains on the packed race track. Singapore's Samuel Neo was super consistent yesterday and has perfectly executed his successful race strategy again today, to rule at the front of the fleet.
Talking about success, in the 420 class on race area A, we find some of the hardest hard working Singaporean sailors. Dedication rewards, and these youngsters have already tasted the glory of prestigious titles. Loh Jia Yi, Yukie Yokoyama and Bertha Han are all former Optimist World Champions, and now are putting in all their efforts to succeed in the 420 class.
With the penultimate day kicking in tomorrow we are step closer to the exciting finale of the Fish & Co Youth Sailing Championships 2015. Don't miss it!
