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.

Kethaka Weerasooriya – 1st place with the Gold, Zai Pestonjee – 2nd place with the Silver & Jordan Bolling 3rd place with the Bronze medal.
