Thais challenge experienced Singaporeans on first day of racing at Singapore Nationals
After a day of playing cards in the shade (fiercely competitive and seriously exciting in SIN!), while waiting for wind.....it came on day 2:
Asian Games Silver Medallist in the Hobie 16 in 2006, Dawn Liu writes, “The duo of Justin Liu and Sherman Cheng are looking right on track to defend their national 420 title, starting off with a clear win in the first race. Two more bullets and two seconds throughout the day consolidated their position at the top of the scoreboards with a three point lead over their Youth Worlds counterparts Griselda Khng and Cecilia Low.
”Benjamas Poonpat and Narisara Yu-sawat of Thailand are sitting comfortably in third at 18 points, while fourth and fifth places will be a contest between the third Singaporean pair of Ko Chuan Yang and Andrew Paul Chan and Thailand’s Navee Thamsoontorn and Atiwat Chomtongdee, both of whom are tied on 25 points”.
