Keelboat Sailing Results

His Team

Mains Trimmer: Calvin Lim– Calvin is also a passionate sailor with a love for the beach and corners. He is also highly experienced, with a world byte championship title under his belt, an achievement not many can brag about.

Jib Trimmer: Brandon Heng– Brandon picked up sailing 2 years ago and has been sailing a lot alongside Shaun many regattas. Hand picked and talented, Brandon definitely has an edge over his more experienced counterparts on the other boats.

Bowman: Alexi Lim–  Alexi has over 6 years of dinghy sailing experience and has recently converted to sailing on the keelboat in the past year. He has shown true dedication in picking up the ropes and his impressive agility will put many more experienced bowmen to shame. Do watch out for him when it comes to bottom mark roundings as his spinnaker drops are rumoured to be exceptional.
