COMMODORE'S MESSAGE
Dear Valued Members,
It has been a privilege to serve at SAF Yacht Club over the past year, and I am honoured to be addressing all of you once more as the Commodore of our esteemed Club
In last year's message, I shared that the Club was making sturdy progress, capitalising on our refurbished Clubhouse and new offerings. Over the past year, we have continued to strive towards strengthening our financial standing, establishing our position in Seasports and Boating, and enhancing the nautical experience of our 700-plus Member community. There were notable achievements, as well as valuable lessons learnt amidst the headwinds we encountered. Here are some key highlights:
The Club's financials remain robust We ended FY23/24 with a revenue of S$4.05 million, buttressed by a healthy Membership base and strong support for our Marina offerings. Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our revenue streams while keeping a close watch on the expected economic and business challenges. We will also proactively and holistically address rising costs and continue to manage our finances prudently.
Beyond fiscal performance, we have continued to strengthen our position in Seasports. The Club had the distinct pleasure of co-hosting the Singapore Regatta with Changi Sailing Club in February 2024 for the first time, during which the prestigious Lipton Cup Trophy was presented. The Club also participated in and hosted several regional regattas, such as the Sing-Siam Regatta, Friendship Regatta and Qingdao International Regatta I am proud that our sailors performed well at these events.
Enhancing our Members’ experience is paramount and we have been working on some areas. We have refurbished some of the Club's physical amenities such as the Poolside Lounge, marina ramp, and rooftops of both East and West wings; as well as purchased new boats and a tractor. All these were aimed at improving the functionality and comfort of our facilities. The Club also welcomed a new bistro (Eighty Nine Bistro) and a Halal restaurant (GEM by the Sea) in May and October 2024 respectively, enriching our food and beverage offerings. We have also continued to pursue activities that create memorable experiences. These include our signature event, Carnival by the Straits, in June 2024, lunch outings to neighbouring kelongs, and Members appreciation events. We look forward to receiving more feedback on how we can strengthen the nautical community at our Club.
We have kept pace with our Green initiatives Our Club's solar panels were operationalised earlier in the year, and we have started to harvest our own power. We are also working towards a Green-Mark Certification to raise our sustainability standards. We will continue to explore other initiatives to drive long-term sustainability, expand our corporate social contributions, and strengthen Members engagement
Overall, we fared well despite challenges. This was only possible with the dedication of the Management Committee and Management Team, as well as the unwavering trust and support of all our Members. I am excited about the future, and my team and I are committed to delivering on the key objectives for FY24/25 and beyond.
Once again, I thank you for your steadfast support, and for being a part of our vibrant nautical family. I wish all a fulfilling year ahead!

INTRODUCTION
Financial Year 23/24 had performed modestly well despite a downturn in the economy. Revenue streams were not as robust as in the last financial year. Still, there were marginal increases in Membership subscription revenues due to the increase in subscription rates at the commencement of FY23/24. The Club’s Marina and boat storage income had also increased slightly over the last financial year because of continuing support-tasking and boat-chartering derived from Seatrium, and the arrival of new boaters at our dry/wet berths, coupled with increase in petrol sales to boaters.
Seasports performance was not up to expectation due to a slow down in take up rate for our Seasports courses and training programmes; particularly, experiencing a shortfall in enrolment targets for our CCC/BSC/GKA courses and continuation of training programmes for our young sailors. However, the good news is there was a surge in Regatta event income, and with the Club's new venture into selling of sailboats imported from our supplier from China to Members, these had boosted our Seasports revenue streams, mitigating the decline in enrolment in our training courses.
The economic downturn resulted in one of our tenants (a Chinese F&B outlet) terminating the tenancy rental agreement, slowing down the pick up on private/corporate events rental held at the Club, resulting in the drop of rental income and events’ revenue Despite the challenges faced in FY23/24, the Club remained steadfast and resilient to the slow down of the economy, registering a slight decline of only 1.4% (or S$58k) in overall total income and achieved a net cash profit of S$279k (after tax) before depreciation and amortisation.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE FY23/24
For the financial year ending on 31 March 2024, the Club's gross income and expenditure were S$4,057,580 and S$3,621,182 respectively. Considering depreciation and amortisation, the Club registered a net operating surplus of S$80,403.
The Club saw a decrease in revenue by 1.4% over the last financial year. The breakdown of the charges in the Club's key revenue items are as follows:
Membership and Events decreased by 1.1%
Marina and Boat Storage increased by 1.9%
Tenants Income decreased by 2%
Seasports and activities decreased by 8%
LOOKING AHEAD
In the year ahead, the Club will continue to face challenging business conditions due to the bleak economic outlook, evergreen competition from other yacht clubs and social service clubs, as well as rising business costs However, the Club will continue to evolve by tapping into new channels and resources to improve our existing business models and enhance our revenue streams, while continually operating our businesses in a cost-effective manner. The Club will also continue to embark on capital investments in the Club facilities from timeto-time to ensure that Members enjoy high quality facilities and services at reasonable rates. Moving forward, it is vital that the Management team and Members of the Club continue to strengthen our symbiotic relationship and cooperate to promote the Club, attract new Members, and participate actively in the Club's activities. Together, we can continue to project SAF Yacht Club as a quality sailing and yachting club in Singapore.

Any Other Matters
6.1 By Member – Mr Paul Hee
Mr Hee raised the following matters:
A) Boat Rescues Arrangements
He believed all boaters would be pleased that the club published Club Boat Rescue policy / arrangements, if any, to all boaters. Just like AA renders help to motorists for vehicle breakdown recovering service. This would be a great help to our boaters in time of needs.
B) Members Lounge
It would be good if the management could relocate the Pool Table out from the Members Lounge to another location. It was noisy and very disturbance, especially children who didn’t know the game. Just throwing the billiards balls on Pool Table and created nuisance in the Members Lounges.
The Club thanked Mr Hee for his feedback and replied on the following:
A) We would publish the boat rescue arrangement in the Letter to Boaters update as well as the Club's Notice Board. Do note that there would be a nominal fee for sea rescue to recover the cost of fuel and manpower and that this service would only be available during working hours amongst other terms and conditions. After working hours, the boaters might wish to contact Kairos Strategic P/L for rescue. For emergency case, boaters were reminded to anchor away from the sea traffic and seek help from MPA and PCG. GM replied that at present, Club used Facebook, Instagram & Telegram to communicate with members. He urged members to download Telegram and add SAFYC to receive updates of Club happening.
B) The Club had received feedback of members abusing the pool balls and cue sticks at the members’ lounge. We had since kept the balls and cue sticks at the front desk office. Members who wish to draw the balls and cue sticks may do so from 9am to 6pm. Members were also reminded to return the balls and cue sticks upon usage of the pool table facility.
There were no further questions from the floor.
