A week of constant rain cleared Singapore’s sky just in time for the start of the 17th SMU-RM Western Circuit Sailing Regatta, and Raffles Marina buzzed with excitement as all 78 entries finally came together with their preparations done – ready to race. A closer IRC B fleet saw the day’s available bullets shared evenly between three of the class leaders, Bryan Chan’s SMUve, Alexi Lim’s SMUMad, and Kurt Metzger’s Waka Tere. Two second place finishes gave Waka Tere the top seat, leaving SMUMad in second overall for the day.
