First Prize Winner, YKKO Team, Min Min: We trained about 1 week before the competition. We really had to try hard against Myanmar Ease Net team in Sarpie, Rater, and Optimist classes. We also won first prize in last year’s event. And I’m very glad that we won again this year. 

The 2nd prize winner Myanmar Ease Net Team took a couple of days for training for Stand Up Paddle class. 

Second Prize Winner, Myanmar Ease Net Team, Khin Nyo Lin: We decided carefully which team members would compete in which classes by planning. I’m very glad about winning second prize. Actually this is the first time I’m being captain of the team and we even won prize. I think this kind of competition is good as this makes the people to be familiar with yachting.
