PUFFS FROM RED-HOT MAX

Curry puffs will be served with yet another chunk of history for Maximilian Maeder, who became the first Singaporean to be named the male Young World Sailor of the Year.

Looking sharp in a black suit, white shirt and silver tie, the 18-year-old kitefoiler received the award from Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong at the World Sailing Awards at Chijmes Hall on Nov 5.

This award caps a brilliant year in which he won an Olympic bronze at Paris 2024 and nine other titles, including the world, European and Asian championships.

After a red-hot season, Maeder thanked everyone who has played a part in his success, and said: "It's like pouring gasoline on a fire, it invigorates me, it inspires me to share, to bring joy, to connect and to be able to live and make a positive impact. I'm phenomenally happy and I'm grateful World Sailing is promoting youths of sailing."
