SMU SAILING

This year, SMU Sailing Club sent 3 teams to participate in the annual CORUM RSYC Regatta. While scrambling to defend themselves from the merciless sun over the 3 weekends, the teams battled it out on the water emerged victorious once again!!

In the J24 One Design class, it was a closely fought battle between 2nd and 3rd place. With commendable results that improved race-on-race, our sailors secured a come-from-behind second place over Hakuna Matata. On board Team ShengLi, we have:

• Richard Low
• Eric Loh
• Alina Chia
• Andrea Dragon
• Brandon Heng

In the IRC B class, 3 platus fleet-raced in Singapore waters for the first time ever! The 3rd platu was skippered by Teo Wee Chin from NTU, on board one of SSF’s platu- KO 2. With only 4 points separating the top 3 placings after 8 races, our teams put on a remarkable performance to secure the top 2 positions.

In first place, we have team SMUve:

• Gregory Ho
• Cyril Chua
• Alexi Lim
• Er Zixian
• Calvin Lim

In second place, we have team SMUmad:

• Christopher Lim
• Ng Yu Hui
• Samuel Ong
• Leonard Wee
• Gwen Quek

And of course, how could we miss out the fantastic prizes given out every RSYC regatta. This year, the champion boat SMUve, walked away with… a SONY 40” LCD TV! Let’s see who’s the lucky one who will have the honour of bringing this TV home..
