Mumbai: Uma Chauhan of National Sailing School, Bhopal faced tough competition from Sachin Bethamalla of Navy Boys Sailing Club but managed to maintain her lead at the Junior Coastal Multiclass Regatta organized by Corps of Engineering Sailing Club (CESC) at the Marve Beach on Wednesday.
It was a tough day for Sailors as the winds were as low as 5 knots and many boats had to be towed to the start line for their races. A few sailors started early because of the slow wind and were disqualified from 2 of the 3 races held today. With Sachin almost at her tail, Uma took some smart decisions at crucial moments to keep him at bay and emerge leader after 10 races. Uma will have a fight on her hands tomorrow from Sachin who will do his best to get a lead and clinch the Optimist class trophy.
Sathiya Sudan of Trishna Sailing Club, Bengaluru dominated the RS One class again as he kept a distance between him and Ishwarya and finished the day as the top sailor.
In the 420 Class race, Dawood Qureshi and Pradeep Thakur of NSS came close on many occasions to overtake the pair of Pilli Akhil and Binoob M of Corps of Engineers Sailing Club but they failed to do so as Akhil and Binoob had a perfect race leaving no chance for their opponents to get ahead in the tournament
