The women triumph in Singapore – but by a countback whisker from previous champions Liu & Cheng, who scored a bullet to finish. Veterans of the 2008 ISAF Youth Worlds, both teams continue to be reckoned with!

2005 SEA Games Gold medallist and 470 helm turned journalist, Dawn Liu writes: “winning on countback are Griselda Khng & Cecilia Low on the 420 course. Despite a last-place finish in the final race, the ability to discard it kept them at tied points with second-placed Justin Liu & Sherman Cheng, who gamely decided to end the regatta with a bang even though they knew they would be unable to overtake their team-mate. Perhaps it’s a pity for the duo that the medal race format is not applicable here!
“Thailand’s Benjamas Poonpat & Narisawa Yu-sawat claimed the third spot over Navee Thamsoontorn & Atiwat Chomtongdee; (and) also took the silver medal in the women’s division. Third in the women’s division went to Khairunnisa Bt Mohd Afend & Norashikin Bt Mohamad Sayed of Malaysia”.
