Luke Tan & Rachel Lee - New Asian Optimist Champions
The final race of the 2007 IODA Asian Optimist Championship started just after 11.00am in light winds and strong current conditions. It was still all to play for in the open division between Luke Tan (SIN) and fellow team mate Rachel Lee (SIN) who were both tied with 44 points.
Luke broke the tie scoring two points ahead to take gold, while Rachel took the girls title. Russell Kan (SIN) did just enough to secure third position followed by Navee Thamsoontom (THA). Erica Dawson from New Zealand in 31st position came in top in the Non-Asian division.
The evening wrapped up with Mr Peter Lim representing SingaporeSailing handing over the IODA flag to host of the 2008 IODA Asian Optimist Championship, Mr Talib Al Murri, Vice-President of Qatar Sailing and Rowing Federation.
Next ahead for the Optimist sailors is the Optimist World Championship in Cagliari, Italy which starts 22 July. Representing Singapore are sailors: Luke Tan, Rachel Lee, Lionel Low, Russell Kan and Daniella Ng.
