A hot and sunny Singapore day greeted the teams competing in the IFDS Two Person Keelboat 200im (MAS) collided with a race management boat just before the second windward mark.  The International Jury agreed with their request for redress, awarding them points for equal 6th.

Once today's results were tallied, the 3-1-2 results for Liang/Huawu (CHN) have propelled them to the top of the table, three points clear of Amaral/Silvano (POR).  Tan/Lim (SIN) held on to third.

With sailors on the water for over 5 hours today and having completed 8 of the 11 scheduled races already, organisers have declared a rest day tomorrow.  Competition continues on Thursday and Friday.
