AT THE HELM

TREASURER’S MESSAGE Dear Fellow Members With the construction delays almost behind us, your Club finished the FY2013 financial year on 31 December 2013 slightly better placed from an operating cash-flow position than in the previous 12 month period and certainly better positioned to deliver improved financial results to our members for the coming and future financial years. Whilst the result was adversely affected by the construction delays, it was still a “reasonable” result in what were rather trying times. As all members are aware, three years ago the Club commenced two major development efforts – the new dry stack and the additional accommodation wing at our Marina Lodge. Both of these projects offer our membership additional amenities and also provide the Club a way to generate more cash-flow to support our operations and long jeopardy. Our new marina facilities have been well-received in the boating community with current and new members taking advantage of Singapore’s premier dry stacking facility. Dry stack occupancy closed the year at 73%, well up on the start of the year. The additional capacity remaining will provide the Club with the ability to attract new members, engage and encourage current members to embrace the boating lifestyle (by purchasing a boat), and importantly generate further revenue in the coming year and beyond. As a side note, we saw a large 70% increase in FY2013 participation in our PPCDL (Powered Pleasure Craft Driving

Licence) courses. This presents a great opportunity for our management to engage with Singapore’s aspiring boating community to showcase our Club and its membership benefits. The Club also saw a 5% increase in occupancy in our wet berths during the FY2013 year and are busy re-looking at options to re-configure a section of the wet berths to provide different berthing options and increase occupancy. At the same time, we have seen increased, unplanned, expenditure in the marina to address maintenance issues at the wet berths. The long-awaited opening of the new wing of our Marina Lodge has been very well-received and supported by our members. Occupancy in January was above expectations and with a strong bookings profile for the coming months early signs are very encouraging for the realising the expected cash-flow returns from our $8.1 million investment. It has been widely reported in Singapore as to the difficulties ahead for industries that are reliant on foreign labour and for industries that are competing for local talent. RSYC’s Food & Beverage department has been adversely affected both from an operational and financial perspective, and has not performed up to our expectations. We continue to experience problems recruiting and retaining quality staff and at the same time we have failed to adequately service our members. We continue to work on solutions to these problems and hope to demonstrate some positive traction with respect to the outsourcing

RSYC & The Environment The Republic of Singapore Yacht Club has come a long way from its beginnings from Trafalgar Street to its current location here at West Coast; and stepping into newer times, RSYC now aims to take a firmer stand in playing its role towards preserving the environment, one step at a time. On several occasions in the past, RSYC has played its part in preserving the environment through efforts such as coastal clean-ups, which was jointly organized with the Nature Society of Singapore. More recently, the Club installed energy conserving motionsensor lights in the washrooms on Level 2 of the main building.

Existing Practices Behind the scenes, the Club has taken various steps to reduce its carbon footprints. Amongst which are: Recycling & Reducing Newspapers & Magazines • Old newspapers and magazines from around the clubhouse and accommodation rooms are collected, sorted and sent for recycling. The Club has engaged a waste disposal company that specializes in recycling. • With the advent of smart devices, freely available internet connectivity (Wifi) and upward trend of digital media consumption, the Housekeeping & Accommodations Department has stopped sending newspapers to the guest rooms from 1 January 2014. With the reduced orders of newspaper from 20 copies to 6 copies a day, the Club has not only managed to save several hundred dollars per month, but also reduced plastic and paper waste. Room guests who still wish to read the traditional printed newspapers, can request for their copies and collect them at the Front Office. Reducing the changing of Bed Linens • Instead of having it changed on alternate days, bed linens for longstaying room guests are now changed twice a week, unless

soiled. This has a direct reduction in laundry-related costs; thus indirectly saves water and reduces chemical wastes from being released into the environment. Re-using of Bath Towels for Room Guests • Room guests are encouraged to re-use their bath towels by hanging it up on the towel hangers provided. If a room guest wishes to have their bath towels changed, they can simply leave it on the bathroom floor and the chambermaids will have them replaced with fresh towels. This also has a direct reduction in laundry-related costs; thus indirectly saves water and reduces chemical wastes from being released into the environment. Placement of Waste Sorting Bins at the Club • To promote recycling amongst members, Waste Sorting Bins (see photo below) have been placed around the Club. Members are encouraged to play their part by sorting their waste accordingly before disposal. This will greatly help in the recycling process at the recycling plant.

Reducing Energy & Paper Usage • Staff members are constantly reminding one another to switch off the air-conditioning and lights when it is not in use. This will help in reducing the total cost for electricity, thus indirectly reducing the Club’s carbon footprint. • Staff members are also encourage

REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE YACHT CLUB

to switch off all electrical appliances and devices when they are not in use. • Printing of unnecessary documents is also kept to a minimum. Instead, staff members are encouraged to digitally backup and archive files that are electronically produced. This has helped reduce our dependence on using printing paper.

Going Forward & Going Green As we move into the future, RSYC will work on creating a framework towards achieving a cleaner and sustainable environment for the benefit of all members and general public. We would like to encourage members to extend a helping hand and play an active role in preserving the environment. Below are some simple tips to get you started: Reduce • Reduce your usage of plastics and items that contain harmful chemicals. Whenever possible, try to find alternatives which are environmentally friendly. Reuse • Reuse items such as bottles and bags. Whenever possible, get items that can be re-used, such as re-usable shopping bags to replace commonly-used plastic bags or use longer-lasting plastic water bottles which you can refill and use for a longer duration. • Get creative and reuse your everyday items. Everyday items can be repurposed for other uses than what it was originally intended for. Recycle • Sort your waste into categories – Plastics, Paper, Glass and Others. This will go along way in the recycling process at the recycling plant. • Use the Waste Sorting Bins available at the Club. • If your waste is hazardous (contains poisonous chemicals or toxic materials), please check with the National Environment Agency at 1800-2255632 or email them at contact_nea@nea.gov.sg on how best to dispose it. Lookout for more tips on Going Green For Boaters in the next issue of the magazine. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to drop us a note at info@ rsyc.org.sg if you have any suggestions or recommendations that will help us save and preserve the environment.

Fleet Celebrates the Finish of the 20th Annual Singapore Straits Regatta Poolside Party Celebrates the Close of the Regatta Saturday 18 January 2014 saw the close of the nearly week long 20th Singapore Straits Regatta. There was excitement in the air when guests and participants started to arrive at the ONE°15 Marina Club’s poolside for a sumptuous buffet dinner and the handing out of awards. “This year’s regatta was one of the best,” according to Gordon Maxted who should know as he has participated in all the Singapore Strait’s Regattas since they began back in 1995.

At times, winds reached nearly 20 knots and there was a 1.5 meter swell pushed along by the Northeasterly Monsoon. Still, it was a much “calmer” race and participants were able to put all their sailing skills to work. “We had a great time off the east coast,” acknowledged skipper Victoria Koh. One Fast Boat The IRC Open Class yacht, Blue Note took top honours at this year’s regatta. The boat’s Skipper and owner, David Dimmock, said about the sailing conditions, “Batam was hard going and very challenging. It was like a washing machine out there with some very confused seas. But once we got used to the conditions we were in our element.” Dimmock and his teammates were also very proud to have received this year’s Cup. “There are a lot of great names on that Cup. Names like Ray Roberts. We feel privileged to be among the truly greats of competitive sailing.”

Drama on the High Seas Highlights of this year’s regatta included lots of action and drama. On the Batam side where races were held off the Nongsa Point Marina for three days, saw heavy seas and high winds. Participants were battered and sometimes surprised at how rough conditions could get. As Victoria Koh, skipper of Jangan Main-Main explained, “I’ve never sailed in such choppy water. At times, it was really intense.” She also revealed that, “This was my first ever regatta and I loved it.” When asked if she will join next year’s Singapore Straits Regatta, she beamed, “Most definitely!” Blue Note’s skipper David Dimmock

About Singapore Straits Regatta The idea of a yachting regatta of international standing in Singapore waters was mooted in 1994 by a handful of local enthusiasts to entrench Singapore’s position as a yachting hub in Asia and catalyse the growth of the local keelboat sailing scene. The annual fixture in the Asian Yachting circuit has since come to be famed for its blend of Singaporean and Indonesian flavour, being the only regatta that brings the yachts and sailors to clubs on both sides of the Straits. A truly unique regatta that presents a myriad of sailing conditions and experiences. The Straits Regatta has been constantly evolved over the past 19 years and the upcoming 20th edition will present itself in a format closer to the roots of the original editions in the early 1990s. A time-tested formula that has attracted sailors and yachts from all over the world! In 1995, the inaugural Singapore Straits Regatta was held. A brainchild of pioneers of sailing in Singapore, this event saw Raffles Marina, Nongsa Point Marina, and Changi Sailing Club coming together with the Singapore Sailing Federation to organise this landmark event. The Regatta is organised through a unique organising chair rotation system amongst the Singapore clubs and Nongsa Point Marina. The coming together of all stakeholders in Singapore sailing clubs through a Memorandum of Understanding signals the strong camaraderie and collective drive to promote the sport. About the Perpetual Cup Series Inaugurated in 1997, the Perpetual Cup Series crowns the top performing yacht in the elite racing class across three key sailing events in Southeast Asia, namely The Raja Muda International Regatta, Phuket King’s Cup and Singapore Straits Regatta, and awards the winning team with the prestigious Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy from the treasure trove of historical trophies from the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club. Over the years, the Series has been awarded to several elite sailors, earning itself a prestigious reputation throughout the sailing community.

THE WHARF

Menu & Service Improvements at The Wharf Acting on feedback received, we will be implementing new measures to improve the quality and efficiency at the Wharf, with effect from 1 March 2014. Streamlined Menus The new Wharf menu will now focus on our signature a la carte items everyday, and will not change. The Tze Char menu items will only

be available for dinner on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Public Holiday (except during promotion nights). Promotion Nights The Wharf will feature two promotions per month. Please see the following pages for details. Reduced Waiting Time To cut down waiting time for getting

your bill, members are encouraged to bring the order sheet to the payment counter to make payment. This will allow staff to better focus on service and customers.

RSYC MAGAZINE MARCH / APRIL 2014

Dragon boating is a sport that has its roots in ancient China and its history has been traced back to more than 2000 years. Today, the sport is popular around the world, especially in Asia and dragon boat racing has been termed as the modern sport with ancient tradition. Highly-valued as a team building sport, dragon boating requires teamwork, mental and physical strength and good communication between team members to achieve optimum synchrony and speed. We are looking to form a RSYC Dragon Boat Team, which is made up of 12 or 22 crew members, consisting of 10 or 20 paddlers, a drummer who sets the pace and a steersperson who helms the boat. Do give us your support and we hope to have your participation!

$10 PER SESSION (MEMBER/GUEST)

Price includes dragon boating equipment rental and coaching fee. Minimum of 10 participants to proceed.

Registrations can be done through the following: Online REPUBLIC at www.rsyc.org.sg • Email to seasports@rsyc.org.sg • Call us at 6768 9333 • Fill-in the registration form available at the Club OF SINGAPORE YACHT CLUB * Depending on take up rate.

MARINE NEWS

Cessation of CIQP Services at RSYC from 31 March 2014 Due to the high cost of CIQ and security service, RSYC will no longer be a gazetted CIQP Marina with effect from 31 March 2014. Boating members who wish to depart from or arrive into Singapore waters, may do so at Western Quarantine & Immigration Anchorage off Sisters Island (approximate position: Lat 01° 13.0ʼN Long 103° 49.7ʼE) You are advised to contact the Immigration & Checkpoint Authority (ICA) at VHF Channel 74, prior to your arrival. For assistance, please contact ICA at Tel : 6377 5882 or 6377 5992 • Fax : 6273 5635 or 6377 5993 • Email: ica_crew_ administrator@ica.gov.sg

Application of Crew Passes for Boat Crews Please be reminded that boat-owners with boat crews are required to apply for crew passes for their crews to enter and exit the Club premises.

For details, please contact the Marine Dept at 6768 9238 / 9234 or email to marina@rsyc. org.sg

An example of “wake”, a trailing wave that follows after a moving craft.

No Wake Speed Zones Recently, there have been numerous complaints by various members of boats speeding within the marina. The wake of the vessels traveling well above the “No Wake Speed” limit has resulted in damages to vessels due to the violent rocking, and in some instances there have been reports of crew members falling over the vessels into the water. As such, the Club sincerely hopes that boaters departing and returning to the marina can adhere to the “No Wake Speed” limit to prevent any serious injury from occurring or potential damage to the vessels of other members. If a vessel is found to be in violation of the “No Wake Speed” limit, the Club will consider taking disciplinary action against the boater, in accordance with our By-Laws & Constitution. We wish to maintain the safety standards of the Club premise and thus would like to seek the cooperation of all boaters and members so that boats berthed at the Marina can have the assurance that they will not be damaged by the acts of other members. If you have any queries regarding the “No Wake Speed” limit, please do not hesitate to contact the Marine Dept at 67689234 or email to marina@rsyc.org.sg

For enquiries regarding marina matters, please contact the Marine Department at 6768 9234 or email to marina@rsyc.org.sg
