The Open Skiff class was won by India\u2019s Anandi Chandavarkar \u2013 no surprise as she won the class each day. UWC\u2019s Dom Kaewpradab of Thailand placed second each day capturing that position and India\u2019s Ayaan Nath was third.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

The ILCA4 class was swept by Thailand with Nanvatorn Supaamphonwit capturing top spot each day, Ton Rattana finisging second overall and Thanaphat Sirichaoren placing third.<\/p>

The Monohull Dinghy Class (Handicap) was won by Claudia Nazarov with Voravong Racharattanaruk coming in second and Morten Jakobsen in third. Interesting shift for Jakobsen who last year sailed Hanuman XXXIX<\/em> in the IRC 1 class. Claudia is the daughter of famed naval architect Albert Nazarov, himself an ILCA 4 sailor.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Race Officer Simon James sent the IRC Zero, IRC One & Multihull Racing classes on a windward-leeward for the first race today of the big boats followed by a coastal race (course 12). The Premier class raced course 8 (27 miles) while the Bareboat Charter, Mono-and-Multihull Cruising classes all sailed course 12 (18 miles).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Kevin Whitcraft\u2019s TP52 THA72 did not race in the four-boat IRC Zero class today as it was beset by a technical problem defect as it headed for the start line. The day belonged to James & Kate Murray\u2019s Callisto<\/em>, a Pac 52, which won both races in this class. Ray Roberts TP52 Team Hollywood <\/em>had two second-place showings today after winning all three races yesterday. Steve McConaghy\u2019s Aftershock<\/em>, a Davidson 55, took third today in both races.<\/p>

Evey year, the regatta attracts sailing greats from around the world, and this year is no different. Adam Minoprio<\/strong> is back and behind the wheel for Team Hollywood. <\/em>His list of sailing accomplishments are long and legendary including being the youngest winner of the New Zealand Optimist Nationals at age 11 in 1997. In 2009, he displaced James Spithill as the youngest World Match racing Tour Champion beating Sir Ben Ainslie in the finals. He competed in two\u00a0Volvo Ocean Races<\/a>; in\u00a02011\u201312<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Camper Lifelovers<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and in\u00a02014\u201315<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Team Brunel<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0He also sailed SAP Extreme Sailing Team in the\u00a0Extreme Sailing Series<\/a>\u00a0winning the 2017 series championship. And he sailed for\u00a0Groupama Team France<\/a>\u00a0during the\u00a02015\u201316 America’s Cup World Series<\/a>,\u00a0helming their second boat at the 2017 America’s Cup. A very tough resume to match. Great to have him back and racing in the King\u2019s Cup.<\/p>

The five-boat Premier class saw the Thai vessel Pine Pacific<\/em>, an X-Yacht 55, skipped by Ithinai Yingsiri, win the only race in its class today, its third straight victory. Peter Cremers\u2019 Shatoosh<\/em>, a Warwick 75, was second for the third straight race. Bernard Huybens\u2019 Aphrodite<\/em>, a Vitters 92, was third today as Hans Rahmann\u2019s JV 72 custom-built Yasooda <\/em>started but could not finish. Viroj Nualkair\u2019s MaDuZi<\/em> did not sail again as it is acted as the committee boat for the last day of the dinghy races. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Nick Burns\u2019 Witchcraft<\/em>, a Millenium 40, won both races today in the seven-boat IRC One class claiming four of the five races held in this class so far. Rolf Heemskerk\u2019s The Next Factor<\/em>, a Farr 40 (Mod), was second in the class with a third and second-place finish today.<\/p>

Susurnu Kurose\u2019s Cha Chan<\/em>, a First 40.7, was third on the day followed by Craig Douglas\/Gordon Kettleby\u2019s Ramrod<\/em>, a Farr 40. Craig Nichols Alright<\/em>, a Sydney 40, finished fifth. Robert Carr & Sandy Farquharson\u2019s Aquarii, <\/em>a Sydney 40, was sixth. Clayton Craigie\u2019s Anjo<\/em>, a Beneteau First 40, was unable to finish the first race of the day (fourth overall in the series) and couldn\u2019t start the second race (fifth in the series).\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

The six-boat Bareboat Charter Class saw Dean Peng\u2019s Dragonborn<\/em>, a Beneteau First 40.7, win today giving two out of three first-place finishes. Mike Downard\u2019s Piccolo,<\/em> a Farr 1104, was second while Hippocrates<\/em>, a Yamaha 34s, skipped by Toshihiko Iljima, was in third spot.<\/p>

Alan Anderson\u2019s Judy<\/em>, a Farr 30 was in fourth place in this class with Moonshine<\/em>, a Oceanis 45, featuring the ASA Sailing Dream Asia in fifth. Team Hayato, on a Sun Odyssey 409, rounded out the class. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

The five-boat Monohull Cruising class saw Jianhao Yang\u2019s Isabella, <\/em>a Bavaria 46C, continue its winning streak. Steve Maine\u2019 Enavigo<\/em>, a Grand Soleil 45 was in second spot with Philippe Dallee\u2019s Swan II<\/em>, a Swan 43 (1969) placing third. Thomas Veltin\u2019s Brisk<\/em>, an RG 6.5 Classe Mini, was fourth, and Mo Yiwei\u2019s Sumalee<\/em>, a Sun Odyssey 409, was fifth today.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

The two-boat Multihull Racing class flipflopped placings as Dan Fidock\u2019s Kata Rocks 1 aka Parabellum, <\/em>an Extreme 40,<\/em> won the second race and John Newnham\u2019s Kata Rocks 2 aka Twin Sharks, <\/em>a Firefly 750 Sportboat, the first. The sleek Parabellum<\/em> again took overall line honours in the both races today. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Andrew McDermott\u2019s Corsair 28 Trident<\/em> dismasted during the practice race, but the trimaran was repaired yesterday and they were back in the water today beating the only other competitor in the Multihull Cruising class, Frank Kastelein\u2019s Team No Escape<\/em>, a Leopard 40 from Sunsail. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
