The latest victory came at Race 3 of the series, held on Chalong Bay on Sunday (Sept 6), with the all ladies crew on board Farrgo Express finishing second on the day to rousing applause at the port-race clubhouse awards ceremony. The podium finish leaves the ladies in second place overall in the class on 6 points.
Mig Wehrie’s Hunter 280 Aqua placed third on the day, and remains third overall in the class.
The monohulls closed their race with minutes separating the podium places on corrected time, but in the multihull class, only 2 minutes and 26 seconds separated the top five boats on corrected time.
Showing his decades of experience racing in Phuket, Mark Pescott on his catamaran Summersalt claimed victory on the day, but only by 68 seconds ahead of Mark Horwood and his crew of Phuket sailing stalwarts on the eye-catching trimaran Adrenaline.
Summersalt’s victory, however, was not enough to wrest the top spot on the leaderboard from Adrenaline, which leads the class overall on 5 points. Summersalt remains second overall on 6 points.
Kirill Stashevskiy’s Phuket-designed and built Stealth cat Galeforce finished a scarce 15 seconds behind Adrenaline and remains third overall on 7 points.
