DAY 2: SSL Gold Cup Asian Qualifiers

United Arab Emirates Holds Strong Seconds

Chon Buri, 20 December – Team UAE showed sharp pace and race intelligence on Day 2 in Group B, delivering two strong second-place finishes in nation-against-nation racing. UAE nailed the start in Race 3 and led early, then stayed composed through penalties and pressure to secure second. In Race 4, UAE controlled the line again, fought hard for advantage at the marks, and held position despite spinnaker issues. Consistent, aggressive, and right in the mix of the sailing World Cup battle. Going into the final day where double points are on offer, anything can still happen.
