Changi Beach Car Park 1, Saturday–Sunday, 31 Jan – 1 Feb 2026 — 27 sailors took to the waters off Changi Beach over the weekend in Series 2 of the Northeast Monsoon Grand Prix.

Young wingfoilers continued to give their adult counterparts a run for their money, as 13-year-old Malo Pichoir, leader of the U16 pack, came in a respectable fifth overall. 

In the young Techno 293 fleet, 15-year-old Axl Tan led the Techno 293 fleet with six bullets and 18 points, with Addy Armand, 14, following in second with three bullets and 25 points. Michael Lim, also 15, was third with 37 points.

Organisers managed to get in 20 racers for the wingfoilers while the techno sailors had 14. The smaller iQFOiL fleet had 11 races.

This is the second in a series of three races, with the next Northeast Monsoon Grand Prix race slated for 28 Feb – 1 Mar 2026.
