The long awaited Sing Siam Regatta is finally back after 2 years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This year’s Regatta was hosted by the Royal Thai Navy and we received a great response of 26 sailors (including our Vice Commodore, COL Justiin Ang) and 30 supporters from Singapore. The trip spanned from 24 November to 30 November, with 26 November to 27 November being race days.

Day One l Thursday, 24th November 2022

All sailors and supporters met at Changi Airport Terminal 2 at 10.00 am to have their attendance taken before proceeding to check-in for their flight to Bangkok. Upon arriving at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, we were greeted by Military personnel who escorted us from immigrations and to the tour buses waiting to bring us to the Royal Thai Navy base in Sattahip.

We arrived at 8.00 pm, in time for the welcome dinner hosted by the Royal Thai Navy. After a long day of travelling, our sailors and supporters got to enjoy their dinner with live performances before checking into their accomodation to rest.

Just before lunch, the tour bus brought the other sailors to the sailing club for them to prepare for the match race in the afternoon.

However, an unexpected downpour came after lunch which caused the wind to drop significantly. The first warning signal for the race was at 1.30 pm. The race committee managed to only run a total number of 3 races for the fleet race due to the light wind conditions. Sailors were tested by sighting for wind patches and executing perfect roll tacks going upwind. Nonetheless, the last boat arrived to shore with a beautiful sunset view.

45TH SINGAPORE LASER OPEN 2022

The first day of race saw a late and slow start due to light winds. However, once the marks were laid and ILCA 6 and ILCA 7 classes had started, the wind shifted 90° to the left which caused the race to be abandoned. After the course was re-laid, the ILCA 6 and ILCA 7 classes started again. Unfortunately, an oncoming heavy downpour from the Marina Bay area caused poor visibility, and the race was abandoned at Mark 1 again.

After lunch, the winds picked up from a steady heading, and an exciting 3 races were ran for all classes.

The next day saw another late start due to Cat 1 from inland. Day 2 started its first race at 2.25 pm for the ILCA 6 and ILCA 7 classes, and at 2.35 pm for the ILCA 4 class. A total of 2 races were held on the last day.

There were a total of 5 races with 1 discard.

PROMISING SAILORS

chance to talk to my fellow sailor friends and simply enjoy being out in the sea. This is not something every kid gets to do often.

Q3: What can you say about your time with SAF Yacht Club?

A: Throughout the years, I have made many friends during my time at SAFYC. While few of them have moved on from sailing, there are still many good friends around and it's always nice to bump into them now and then and exchange our sailing stories.

Q4: Could you share your most memorable sailing experience?

from Optimist, I played water polo. I decided that I should focus on one sport, and I chose sailing.

7: How do you manage sailing around your curriculum of studies?

A: When it's time to study, I'll put aside sailing and make sure to focus on studying. During the weekends, I'll turn my attention to sailing and have fun with it. When a regatta is around the corner, I'll read up on some sailing tips from sailing books as well as watch some sailing tutorial videos.

Q8: For you, what makes a good sailor?

"

Everyone can sail. The trick is how to sail well."

Age: 10

School: St. Joseph's Institution Junior (SJIJ)

Hobbies: Sailing, Playing Computer Games, and Reading Favourite Food: Chicken rice Sailing Honour: Ranked No.1 for 12 years old & under (2023) for ILCA 4 (LASER 4.7)

Q1: How did your sailing journey come about?

A: It was during one December holiday when my parents signed me up for an Opti Junior course with my sister and cousins. I was the only one who continued sailing after attaining Opti Junior. Since then, I went on to complete Opti Sailor and Opti Racer courses.

Q2: What's your favourite aspect of sailing?

A: I enjoy sailing when the wind is constant and moderate on a good day; I can sail quickly and enjoy cruising across the sea. Otherwise, I take the

A: During one regatta, I didn’t notice that my rudder gudgeon had come loose. It broke off and was out of control right before the first race started. From then I learned the importance of checking my entire boat before launching.

Q5: What about your worst experience in sailing?

A: During my first ILCA 4 regatta, the wind was exceptionally strong. During the second day, the wind was constantly speeding at more than 15 knots. During one of the tacks, an unexpectedly strong gust sent my boat heeling too quickly. I used my entire body weight to quickly jump over to the opposite side but my boat capsized and turtled shortly after. I managed to upright my boat only to have it slammed back down repeatedly. After several tries I got tired and I had to be rescued by the safety boat.

Q6: Are you into other sports?

A: Before I moved to ILCA 4

A: To me, what makes a good sailor is one who is independent. For now, I still need help from my dad or the older sailors with the Laser as it’s larger than an Optimist. I hope one day soon I'll be able to handle it all by myself.

Q9: What are your personal goals in terms of sailing?

A: I hope to be able to learn fast and well in ILCA 4 and represent Singapore in an international event one day. I also look forward to advancing to Radial by the time I am in Primary 6.

Q10: Any regattas you are looking forward to participating in this year? How do you prepare yourself for the com petition?

A: I had a rewarding experience during the 45th ILCA Championships in December 2022. I look forward to performing better on the next one in 2023. My coach told me to sail well and need to understand and appreciate the elements. Hence, I want to be able to do that to better respond to sea and wind conditions for the next regatta.

What’s a better way to spend the December holidays?

The SAF Yacht Club (SAFYC) members and guests were exclusively invited by the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) for an educational visit to the Changi Naval Base on 9 December 2022.

The 41 SAFYC members and guests spent their morning on board the Landing Ship Tank, RSS Endeavour – one of the largest warships in the RSN – and experienced the shipboard life and adventures through sharing of personal stories by the RSN personnel. They also had an exclusive sneak peek of the recently revamped Navy Museum before it will officially reopen in 2023!

Training Development Group (TDG) Team Building and Cohesion

The TDG held their activity-packed team building at SAF Yacht Club on the 21st of October 2022.

The attendees arrived between 08.30 am – 09.00 am followed by a briefing of the day’s activities. The teams started with land activities such as Minefield and Archery. Minefield is an activity that requires great teamwork to succeed. Team members had to guide their blindfolded counterparts through the obstacles to reach the ending point safely. A fun way to team bond with an emphasis on the importance of trust, safety, and effective communication. At the same time, the other teams tried their hands at archery, urging each other to aim for the best (bullseye) to gain perfect scores for their teams.

At 10.00 am, the teams were guided to the pontoon for their sea activity briefing facilitated by our Seasports Manager, Jason Swee. The teams did a fun Banana Boat race and ended with a Ski Tube ride.

After the thrilling rides and survivor-like challenges the teams overcame, the winning team was announced. The losing team took turns at the dunk tank seat where the winning team members had fun trying to dunk their colleagues. It was all done in great fun and lots of laughter was all around!

Lunch was served at 12.30 pm. Although tired from the morning’s activities, everyone had a fun and fulfilling session at the SAF Yacht Club.
