MUMBAI: The Goa Yachting Association sailors shone in the brightest colours at the YAI’s Sail India which was also the second round of Asian Games Selections trials held at Girgaum Chowpaty, Mumbai recently. 

Katya Coelho of Goa Yachting Association (GYA) won gold in the IQ Foil women’s class and has almost cemented her spot to represent India at the upcoming Asian Games in China. 

Pearl Colvalcar who recently won 2 back-to-back bronze medals at the Youth Nationals narrowly upped her performance to win the silver in ILCA 4 girls category while Dayne Coelho who missed the first selection trials in December 2022 won the silver medal. Pearl and Dayne both stand an outside chance of qualifying for the Asian Games and will give it all their best in the 3rd and final round of the selection trials to be held in February in Mumbai.
