At the Port of Hyeres in France, the Singapore teen needed just one attempt to win the first-to-three final.
Singaporean kitefoiler Maximilian Maeder collected another win as he emerged champion in the Qualified Nations Regatta at the French Olympic Week.
He topped the opening series with seven wins in 13 races to record a nett score of 13 points. Slovenia’s Toni Vodisek, the 2022 Formula Kite world champion, was second with 17 nett points, earning the second spot in the final. Maximilian’s win in France comes after his triumphs at the Formula Kite European Championships in March and the Trofeo Princesa Sofia earlier this month. He had also won the KiteFoil International Open Cup in February.
National sailors Kimberly Lim, Cecilia Low, Justin Liu and Denise Lim are also in Hyeres, battling it out for an Olympic berth in the Last Chance Regatta.
