ABU DHABI: Thailand’s top young sailing talent combined to produce an opening race victory, and two other podium finishes, as the 2023 Optimist Asian and Oceanian Championship got under way in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
After the start was delayed by calm conditions in the UAE capital, Pailin Jaroenpon served notice of the strength of the Thai challenge by securing victory in the opening race of the five-day international regatta.
Spain’s Joan Domingo claimed second place ahead of Italy’s Bianca Marchesini, the bronze medal winner at last year’s European Championship.
