TIOMAN RENDEZVOUS GOES ISLAND-HOPPING IN MALAYSIAN PARADISE Simpson Marine’s annual Tioman Rendezvous to Tioman Island off Malaysia’s east coast waters took place 6 to 9 June, and once again emphasised the beauty and pleasure of yachting in Asian waters. Sailors enjoyed four days of sun, sand and sea as they island-hopped between Pulau Sibu, Pulau Tulai, Pulau Tioman and Pulau Pemanggil, while enjoying a beautiful sunset at Rimba Resort on Saturday night. The goal of this event is to introduce owners to new Asian sailing destinations and also promote the yachting lifestyle. For some cruisers this was their first trip to these islands and the event once again proved an enjoyable introduction to the region’s yachting potential.

The annual Changi Rendezvous took place on 1 August, bringing together Simpson Marine’s Singapore sailing family. Three power and four sailing yachts set of from ONEo 15 Marina for an easy cruise to Lazarus Island and then headed over to Changi Sailing Club for a BBQ lunch, where owners socialised and shared interesting charter experiences and destination locations. The sailing yachts, which included a Lagoon 450, two Beneteau Oceanis 50s and an Oceanis 34 stayed overnight at the club. This rendezvous included several new-comers, showing that the family continues to grow, with this year’s youngest boater only two-years old.
