France's Bonafous becomes first woman skipper to win Fastnet in an IMOCA
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Elodie Bonafous carved out a slice of offshore racing history on Tuesday, becoming the first woman to win the IMOCA class in the Rolex Fastnet Race after a nail-biting duel that went down to the wire. The 29-year-old French sailor, skippering the freshly launched Association Petits Princes–Queguiner IMOCA with Vendee Globe veteran Yann Elies aboard, crossed the line in Cherbourg just seven minutes ahead of Jeremie Beyou's Charal after more than two days of racing in a record 444-strong fleet. Bonafous held her nerve through a tense final night of drifting conditions and tactical gambles that saw the lead change hands in dramatic fashion. After guiding her crew around Fastnet Rock at the front of the pack, she was briefly overhauled by rivals in the Channel. But the breakthrough moment came east of Guernsey, where Bonafous fought back to reclaim top spot in what turned into a gripping match race with Charal that came down to the final miles. 'We are very happy to be here,' Bonafous said, beaming upon her arrival. 'We are in good shape. It was tight at the end. It was a great victory." Sailing a boat launched only in February, Bonafous blended smarts, steel and speed to outfox some of the IMOCA fleet's biggest names and her victory marked a defining moment in the race's centenary edition, delivering a masterclass in timing and tenacity that will be remembered as a watershed moment for women in offshore sailing.

'When the wind is steady, I think we are quicker, but when it's light, we are stuck. But it was a lot of fun and it was never over until the finish," he said. "This was a very classic Fastnet race, upwind to the Rock and then the wind coming from behind on the way back. "It was nice to sail with a crew on the IMOCA and to race it at 100% so you could carry out all the strategic tacks and gybes you wanted. It's always intense in an IMOCA race, but a bit more like this.' The IMOCA class (International Monohull Open Class Association) is a fleet of cutting-edge, 60-foot offshore racing yachts designed for competition in some of the world's toughest ocean races. IMOCAs are characterised by their lightweight carbon construction, towering masts and distinctive 'Dali' foils that lift the hull partially out of the water to reduce drag. The biennial Fastnet Race traces a challenging 695-nautical miles course from Cowes on England's Isle of Wight around Ireland's famous Fastnet Rock before finishing in Cherbourg — a test that has challenged sailors' skill and endurance for a century.

Arcade operator suspends SG60 carnival game after copyright infringement notice, apologises for 'lapse'
SINGAPORE: An arcade operator apologised on Tuesday (Jul 29) to a games publisher over a "lapse in due diligence" and suspended its carnival game marking Singapore's 60th year of independence, following a copyright infringement notice. In a Facebook post on Monday, Origame accused The Arcade People of "ripping off" artwork from its games. Citing how it had come across a carnival game at City Square Mall, the company alleged artwork from its Kopi King game was "lifted wholesale" by the operator. The homegrown firm, which is known for its Singapore-themed card and tabletop games, claimed that the artwork appeared in an SG60-themed carnival game called Kopitiam Hero. According to pictures posted by Origame on Facebook, Kopitiam Hero uses the same "Sejak 1965!" tagline. It also alleged another piece of artwork was copied for a separate carnival game by The Arcade People and said the experience had left a "bitter aftertaste". In a statement on Facebook, The Arcade People apologised to Origame. It acknowledged the designs for two of its carnival games included artwork taken directly from Origame's games Kopi King and Chope!, and that the design of Kopitiam Hero "closely imitates" the font, style and colour of Kopi King's logo. "These elements were wrongly used without permission and were taken from Origame's website," it said. "This was not just an oversight - it was a lapse in due diligence on our part." The Arcade People added it would take "full and unequivocal responsibility" and that the imitation of design elements had stemmed from not having "proper checks and approvals" in place. Responding to CNA's queries, The Arcade People said it had immediately suspended the game from all rentals and public use until the artwork is replaced. It added it would permanently remove and destroy all materials and props associated with the infringing games, and take "additional steps" by internally reviewing all existing and future artwork usage to prevent such issues from happening again. Origame co-founder and producer Nicholas Pang confirmed with CNA his company had sent a notice of copyright infringement on Monday and noted The Arcade People was "taking responsibility for their mistake". Origame, established in 2019, has released over 20 original games, and its most popular games celebrate local hawker culture. Chope! tasks players with reserving tables with tissue packets, while Kopi King requires players to "snatch" ingredient cards to make coffee shop drink orders. Origame co-founder and designer Daryl Chow told CNA that while the firm has experienced copyright issues overseas for its internationally licensed games, this is the first time their work had been "stolen" in Singapore. Despite this, Mr Pang said Origame would be willing to work with The Arcade People going forward if "they wish to license and adapt our games in a way that property respects the designers and illustrators who created them".

Two men to be charged for allegedly scamming victims by impersonating government officials
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox The men, aged 30 and 37, are believed to be accomplices to a scam syndicate. SINGAPORE - Two men will be charged in court on July 30 for allegedly scamming victims of money by impersonating government officials. The men, aged 30 and 37, are believed to be accomplices to a scam syndicate, said the police on July 29. They were arrested on July 28. The police were first alerted to a case on May 17, in which a victim lost more than $43,000 to the 30-year-old man. The man, who said he was from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, told the victim that she had been implicated in an offence and had to hand the money over for investigative purposes. Preliminary investigations showed that the scammer collected the money on the behalf of a syndicate, and handed it over to an unknown person. On a separate occasion, he had also collected $47,000 in cash from another victim and passed the money to the 37-year-old man. The cash was recovered when the pair was arrested. The police believe that the men are involved in other similar cases. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.
