103 children competed in the Optimist event. As usual, the parents were even more excited then their children. Quite a number of them were at the beach with binoculars and mentally recording their children performances. Yuan Zhang and his good friend, Alvin Chong, was tied at the top with 6 points each. However, Yuan Zhang won after the tie-break.

The girls nominated the Topper event. Jill Chen and Helena Lee came in first and second respectively. With their results, their school, Tanjong Katong Girls' School won the School Team event.

The Laser event was keenly fought. The race officer had to raise the black flag in the first race. Last year's winner, Stanley Tan was edged out by eighteen years old Seng Leong. The first two races saw Seng Leong starting badly but he managed to recover to finished first. The veteran, Alexandre Nikolaev dropped out of the medal contention after getting two OCS.
