This year’s edition had 356 sailors from 10 countries compete with the first day of competition seeing shifty winds throughout the day. Boats launches were delayed but winds picked up throughout the day and ended with good racing winds towards the evening.

In the highly competitive Optimist class, Malaysia and Costa Rica took the lead as they finished top of the standings after day one. 2015 South-East Asian (SEA) Games gold medalist Muhd Fauzi Kaman Shah dominated, collecting three bullets in three races.

Singapore’s Finian Lee was the top local performer in the category as he lies in eighth after three races.
