LANGKAWI: Thailand’s THA72 team (pic) are starting to look like runaway leaders after winning Races 3 and 4 of the Racing class at the 15th Royal Langkawi International Regatta (RLIR).

Although the wind was only at five knots at the start of Race 3, the Thai yacht – skippered by 21-year-old Don Whitcraft – breezed to victory in 55:39 yesterday.
