The 2nd Royal-Thomian  Sailing encounter held on 10TH October at the CMYC Club Bolgoda saw the Thomians  sail to a glorious victory both in the individual as well as team races held that day. 

Royal  too put on a commendable display of technique and teamwork  but were  regrettably outclassed by their opponents who sailed to convincing victory that day.  The Thomians were led by Kethaka Weerasooriya (Captain) whilst  Royal was led by Sunaragiri Liyanage.
