National School Games champions crowned on second day

The National School Games wrapped up its second day with light winds of between 3 to 7 knots. In the A Division, Raffles Institution’s Isaac Goh pipped St Joseph Institution’s Kenan Tan to the title by three points, winning two out of the three races on the second day. The B Division Girls (ILCA 4) and C Divisions Girls Optimist classes were won by Nia Mehry Zahedi and Li Yuxuan of Raffles Girls’ School respectively.

National School Games – Day 1 Recap

The National School Games began with a tricky first day of racing. With light winds and low tide at the start of the day, the sailors went out with about 5 knots of wind speed from the South East. A local storm system later swung the wind towards the east, picking up to about 10 to 11 knots. Two divisions, in particular, had very close margins at the top – the A Division Boys (ILCA 6) and the Optimist Senior Boys.
