CSC Sunday Series I 2026 – Race 3

27th April 2026/in Competitive Racing, Regattas, Sailing, Sunday Series/by CSC

Once again blessed (or challenged) by winds from every direction and varying strengths, sailors were treated to a classic Changi Sailing Club race layered with tactical complexity. A heavy shower just before the scheduled start forced the race committee to delay proceedings by about 30 minutes, allowing the skies to clear and a light breeze to settle in. Taking a prudent approach, the Race Officer sent the fleet on a Pennant 2 course to Squance, keeping the option open for an early shortening should conditions fade.

The wind did exactly that. A prolonged lull late in the race proved decisive, pushing two of the four IRC boats to retire despite being halfway through the final leg. Bound To Please and Shardana made the understandable call to head for the bar—still a commendable effort from both the Corby 29 and the Dufour 34. In contrast, their smaller and more nimble rivals thrived. SMUMad and Jellico capitalised on the patchy pressure, breaking away to contest a two-boat battle for top honours. The university team aboard the Platu 25 sailed an excellent race, reading the pressure lines well to secure both line honours and handicap victory, finishing comfortably ahead of the J24.

The trend continued in the Keelboat PY class, where sport boats again proved their strength in lighter conditions. A Platu 25 and J24 featured on the podium, reinforcing the view that these designs excel when the breeze is soft. RSYC Lima took the win, with Waka Tere (Nelson 33) in second and Notus close behind in third—just a minute separating the latter two. Notus had sailed convincingly through the first half of the race, keeping RSYC Lima at bay while tracking the leader, Waka Tere. However, a spinnaker issue on the final downwind leg allowed RSYC Lima to close the gap to earn the bullet on corrected time and reshuffle the standings.

In the Multihull category, both Dot Dot Dot and Miss Visayan shared a frustrating twist—misreading the course and sailing the wrong leg long enough to open the door for Bula to mount an impressive comeback. As the breeze faded, Dot Dot Dot eventually retired, while Miss Visayan persevered and was rewarded with a fresh puff that carried her across the finish line as the remaining finisher in the fleet.

Congratulations to all winners and participants. We look forward to Race 3 of the Twilight Series I this Saturday, 2 May.

CSC Monthly Dinghy Race (26 April)

27th April 2026/in Regattas, Monthly Dinghy Race, Sailing/by CSC

MDR is back!

After a long wait, with back-to-back national ranking regattas lined up, our dinghy sailors are back to home base for this month’s MDR! It was nice to see 31 boats; 17 boats from ILCA 4, 6, 7, 420 & Pacers and 14 Optimists launched on Sunday afternoon with much excitement to race against their friends and buddies back at the club! The race started with unfavorable weather as the skies were covered with dark rain clouds and threatening storms around the area. Soonest as the weather improved, a small window of opportunity for sailors and race management team to launch and tried to get races. With much effort and determination, Race 1 sound signal were heard at the course area (Changi Beach) and sailors started to maneuver, strategize and planning of what will the wind brings them coming from different direction.

During the first race, the wind shifted, a huge one! which made the course a parade of boats racing on a reach-to-reach course, Race Officer of the Day, Matthew Kong decided to continued the race and completed Race 1. With wind shifting all over the place, a quick play time and bonding for sailors with their mates, while waiting for the better wind condition to settled. The wind came back, this time from Westerly direction, a completely opposite direction, the coaches and team made a quick reconfiguration of the course, started the race for Open Division, attempting for Race 2, sailing with Westerly wind to the top mark, and the wind has stopped! The tide strengthened, boats were just floating, sculling, rocking and rolling, the Optimist couldn’t start due to strong tide! Race Officer made a decision, N flag over A for Open Division, no more racing for today, likewise to the Optimist class. Although we just managed to get 1 race for this month’s MDR, sailors and kids were still happy to be back at the club, reconnects with other friends and parents too. On this day also, our young sailors presented their new team rash guards! Showcasing unity as a team and proud to represent their club! Thank you for the parent’s effort in making these sailing uniform possible! Shahrom and his wife, Yvonne for steeping forward to be in-charge of this. This month’s on-water volunteers: Matthew Kong, Daniel Whittington and Grace Yeo, thank you! Our Rear Commodore for Sailing, Justin Lean for giving out the prizes. To the sailors and parents, always present to support our events and activities! Congratulations to all the winners! See you in May!

CSC Twilight Series I 2026 – Race 2

19th April 2026/in Competitive Racing, Regattas, Sailing, Twilight Series/by CSC

North, south, east, and west — Saturday’s winds came from every direction, and in no particular order. A downwind start, strong tide, glassy patches, and two brief squalls kept the fleet of 10 thoroughly entertained.

In the IRC Class, it was a close contest between two tightly rated yachts — Simba and Shardana. The Dufour 34 held a slight rating edge over the Dehler 39, meaning Simba needed to finish a minute or more ahead to secure victory on corrected time. Her return to Club racing proved triumphant: Simba crossed the line first, just over two minutes ahead, sealing a comfortable win. Skipper Antanas and his team may have been briefly distracted retrieving Skybird’s skipper’s lost cap — but not enough to affect the outcome.

The cap mishap did little to slow Edwin and crew aboard Skybird. The Dehler 34 handled a slightly chaotic downwind start before capitalising on a favourable westerly shift en route to Squance. Taking the lead, they held firm to the finish, securing a well-earned bullet in the Keelboat PY Class. Only two boats finished — Skybird and Waka Tere — both managing to escape the doldrums that followed the second squall.

In the Multihull Class, Dot Dot Dot overcame a premature start and sailed a smart race, reading the shifts and squalls well to overtake Miss Visayan and Bula. A lost spinnaker proved costly for Bula, allowing David and Daksh to take control and hold it to the finish. Behind them, Bula and Miss Visayan were locked in a tight duel to the line. As the wind faded to just 2 knots, Bula edged ahead, crossing a minute before Miss Visayan to claim the remaining podium spot.

Congratulations to all winners! We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday at our April Members’ Night — live music, great food, cold beers, and even better company — and again on 26 April for Race 3 of the Sunday Series I.

CSC Sunday Series I 2026 – Race 2

13th April 2026/in Competitive Racing, Regattas, Sailing, Sunday Series/by CSC

No more NE Monsoon. It served us well while it lasted, but as we bid farewell to the first quarter of 2026, we now welcome the inter-monsoon conditions — bringing with it rain, light airs, and a fair bit of unpredictability.

Despite the glassy waters, race organisers managed to squeeze in a Pennant 1 course, making good use of a gentle incoming tide to ease the fleet through the 3-lap Changi buoy course.

Five boats took to the start line in the IRC division, with the lighter sports boats dominating the top spots. University sailing team SMUMad got off to a strong start, quickly establishing an early lead and setting the pace for the fleet. Jellico stayed within striking distance, forcing Tian and crew to work hard to shake off the J24 and extend their advantage on handicap.

Despite a commendable performance, the students on the Platu 25 had to settle for line honours and second overall, missing out on victory by just over a minute on corrected time. Rounding off the podium was Shardana, the Dufour 34. Skipper Antanas recovered well from an early fumble at the start, regaining composure to secure third place, just ahead of Bound To Please.

The Keelboat PY Division also saw five boats on the line — a rare and welcome sight. Waka Tere, Skybird, Jock, and Remington finished in that order, while RSYC Lima was forced to retire in the later stages due to the challenging conditions.

Waka Tere clinched victory by the slimmest of margins, finishing just 17 seconds ahead of Skybird on corrected time — a result that left the Dehler 34 wondering what might have been. Among the remaining boats, Jock made the most of the light airs, and it showed in their finishing position. Nevertheless, credit goes to all crews for their perseverance and discipline in seeing the race through.

In the Multihull class, the smallest Corsair proved mightiest on the day. Bula’s two-up strategy, combined with sharp light-air boat handling, earned her a well-deserved bullet for Race 2. She overtook Miss Visayan on the second lap to Changi and never looked back. Miss Visayan held firm in second, successfully defending against the ever-competitive Dot Dot Dot, the reigning Bintan Regatta champions.

Congratulations to all winners — we look forward to seeing everyone again next week for Twilight Series I, Race 2!

Bintan Regatta 2026 – Day 2 Report

10th April 2026/in Competitive Racing, Bintan Regatta, Cruising, Regattas, Sailing, Social/by CSC

Temperamental gusts mark final day of 4th Bintan Regatta

Report by Scott Murray, SEA Yachting Magazine

The 4th Bintan Regatta, an event jointly organized by the Bintan Resort Cakrawala and the Changi Sailing Club, finished yesterday in the sailing area held off of Bandar Bentan Telani/Doulos Phos, The Ship Hotel.

With an AP onshore, Race Officer Manager Leanne “Jhing” Tayong (Changi Sailing Club’s Activities Manager) had to go sailabout to find wind, but when she did, she was able to get in three windward-leewards for both classes.

When it was all sailed and done, Edwin Low’s Skybird captured the Keelboat PY class by one point in a very close finish over Choy Yi Hong’s Slingshot, winning three of the five races it sailed in the class (each boat was able to drop its worst result).

Jakub Kogut’s Summer Breeze was next, finishing third just a point ahead of Peter Jong’s Kesini. Jakub’s only crew member was his fourteen-year-old son, Leo, the youngest participant in the regatta, who showed remarkable poise during the event. Jasmine Teo/Lim Wei Ling’s Spellbound rounded out the class and although they were unable to finish most of the races, they showed true grit and determination as this was their first time racing.

The multihull class saw the same order of finish in every race with David Steel’s Dot Dot Dot taking the top spot, Roy Phua’s Soluna placing second and Giam Hock Koon’s Oojoo placing third though both Soluna and Oojoo were unable to finish race two.

Btw, for those that were curious about the colour and name of the trimaran Dot Dot Dot, skipper David Steel explains, “We wanted to have a non-white boat. We liked the artist from Japan who used dots – Yayoi Kusama. Dot Dot Dot obviously fits with the look, but also is Morse Code for ‘S’ – the first letter of my last name. Lastly, Singapore is sometimes affectionately called the ‘Little Red Dot’, so the look and name go well with our home port.”

Jong Boat Festival

Held in conjunction with the Bintan Sailing Regatta at a nearby beach was the Jong Boat Festival. Yesterday, we detailed some of the history of the Jongs. Small Jongs measure 1-1.29m; medium-sized Jongs 1.29-1.6m; and large Jongs 1.6-1.9m.

A total of 691 Jongs took part on the event, with 45 races being conducted on the first day. Most of the Jong came from Indonesia, predominately Riau, but there were entries from Singapore and Malaysia as well. Small Jongs did not race in this festival only large (Besar) and medium-sized Jongs (Sedang).

The winners in the Besar division were Dewi Lanjar (Buluh Perindu) in first followed by Segantang (Junjung Budaye) in second place and Pusake Riau (Galery Jong Serkat) in third. The winners in the Sedang division were Muncul Kembali (Galery Jong Serkat) in first place, Pecah Seribu (Family Pulau Akar) in second and Berandal (Bulang Gemilang) in third.

The structure of the Perahu Jong consists of:

  • Kate (stabilizer): functions as a counterweight to prevent the Jong from capsizing. Located on the side of the boat, it is connected to the kate bar that is integrated into the hull of the Jong.
  • Sauk (wave breaker): positioned at both end of the Jong, its purpose is to break the waves and protect against impact from coral reefs
  • Large sail: a large-sized sail made of parachute material, located at the rear of the Jong.
  • Jib (small sail): located at the front of the large sail. This “jeep” can be adjusted according to the wind direction and can be tightened or loosened.

Challenging weather greets sailors on first day of 4th Bintan Regatta

Report by Scott Murray, SEA Yachting Magazine

The 4th Bintan Regatta, an event jointly organized by the Bintan Resort Cakrawala and the Changi Sailing Club, got underway today. After the skippers’ briefing held at the Berakit Meeting Room at the Four Points Sheraton, the participating boats motored out to the sailing area held off of Bandar Bentan Telani/Doulos Phos, The Ship Hotel.

Changi Sailing Club Activities Manager Leanne “Jhing” Tayong was the race officer today and did a great job considering the weather conditions. The first warning signal went off at 10:25am and in the first race Leanne ran a two-lap windward-leeward with a combined start for the five boats in the Keelboat PY class and the three boats in the multihull class. Ong Soo Chong’s Majabelle made the trip over from Singapore but had engine trouble and didn’t set out from the Bintan pier this morning. In the second race, Leanne staged separate starts for both classes, hoping for a two-lap race but light winds prevented many of the boats from finishing.

CSC General Manager Choy Yi Hong sailed for a change helming Slingshot. Describing the racing today, Choy said, “Winds were light and shifty with strong currents as well. Summer Breeze did well while sailing 2-up (father & son). There were conflicting weather systems, and a passing storm made things interesting on the course. In the second race, only one boat from each class completed the course, as the winds switched off on the final leg to the finish.”

It was very close in the first race in the keelboat class as Slingshot beat Jakub Kogut’s Summer Breeze by ten seconds on corrected time to win the race. Edwin Low’s Skybird (line honours) was two minutes behind in third place. Peter Jong’s Kesini was 00:01:11 behind Skybird and Jasmine Teo/Lim Wei Ling’s Spellbound six-and-a-half minutes behind Kesini. The second race in this class saw only Skybird complete the course in 00:38:17 on corrected time.

The first race in the multihull class was also very close as David Steel’s Dot Dot Dot earned line honours and beat Roy Phua’s Soluna by just under two minutes on corrected time. Giam Hock Koon’s Oojoo was then just two minutes behind Soluna in third place.

Btw, the first official passage race from CSC to Bintan was staged yesterday and Skybird was triumphant in the keelboat class, making the crossing in a corrected time of 04:04:03 followed by Kesini, just under 20 minutes later – the only two boats to finish in that class. The multihull class saw Steel finish 25 minutes ahead of Oojoo on corrected time – also, the only two boats to finish in that class.

Racing continues tomorrow and let’s hope the weather is more favourable.

Jong Boat Festival

Held in conjunction with the Bintan Sailing Regatta at a nearby beach is the Jong Boat Festival. Jongs have been legendary in the Bintan Regency since ancient times. These miniature sailboats are a traditional pastime for fishermen during the north and south monsoons when they are unable to go to sea due to strong winds and high waves. Originally, Jongs were a tradition of the Chinese community in a ritual called bebuang. They would send food offerings (sesajen) out to sea such as Jong Kong cakes and other foods using replica ships.

The Jongs are made from pulai wood (Alstonia scholaris) a dark-grey wood with yellowish-brown grain. It has a soft texture, making it easy to shape and carve.  The Jong reflects local wisdom in utilizing natural resources and maintaining the balance of the surrounding environment. The pastime is not only entertaining but also demonstrates an ability to adapt to nature, especially the sea winds, which are the primary factor in determining the boat’s direction. Today, they remain a symbol of maritime glory and navigational brilliance.

Fourth Bintan Regatta set to go

Article by Scott Murray, SEA Yachting Magazine

The 4th Bintan Regatta sets sails this Easter weekend, an event jointly organized by the Bintan Resort Cakrawala and the Changi Sailing Club. The regatta starts off with the Singapore to Bintan passage race on Friday April 3 as sailors will leave the Crow’s Nest at the Changi Sailing Club at 0930am. A dinner at the Four Points by Sheraton, Lagoi Bay (Accommodation Partner) that evening welcomes the sailors to Bintan.

Upon arrival at Bandar Bentan Telani Marina (which is conveniently located beside the Ferry Terminal), sailors were greeted by a traditional indonesian martial arts performance “Silat”, followed by a door-stop press conference and awards presentation for the SG-Bintan Passage Race winners in each class. Congratulations to Dot Dot Dot and Skybird for winning in their respective categories.

On the morning of Saturday April 4th there will be a skipper’s briefing at the Berakit Meeting Room, Four Points by Sheraton, Lagoi Bay. A total of six races (a mix of windward-leeward and passage races) are scheduled for this regatta for all classes with a maximum of four races scheduled per day for all classes. Races in Bintan will be held in the immediate waters off Bandar Bentan Telani and Doulos Phos, The Ship Hotel.

After racing is completed on the second day there will be a Jong Sailing Exhibition with sailors getting an opportunity to experience Lagoi Bay. The prize giving & closing Ceremony will be held at Warung Yeah, a unique Indonesian restaurant in the heart of Lagoi Bay.

There are nine sailing boats entered in total:

  1. Majabelle (Beneteau Oceanis 411)
  2. Spellbound (Beneteau Evasion 36)

  8. Kesini (Beneteau First 40.7)
  9. Dot Dot Dot (Corsair 28)

Jong Race Festival

Happening concurrently with the Bintan Regatta is the Jong Race Festival at Lagoi Bay. Jong are traditional wooden sailing vessels that were once common in the maritime trade networks of Indonesia. Nowadays, the Jong Race Festival is a celebration of the country’s seafaring traditions of the past, where participants gather to build and race mini-sailboats using boat-building techniques passed down from generation to generation. It is a beloved tradition that brings communities together. These races are typically held in coastal areas where the wind conditions are favorable. Participants, ranging from young children to seasoned adults, gather with their handcrafted boats, eager to test their skills.

Good luck and fair winds to all!

A Lap of Langkawi – March 2026

7th April 2026/in Community, Cruising, Sailing, Social/by CSC

Article by Basil Byrnes & Luke Doherty

We sailed Birregurra up to Thailand in late December with Kari and Otso from Jong Dee. After surviving the edge of Typhoon Senyar and sheltering up a river in Klang, I eventually made it to Port Takola near Krabi. Following our annual maintenance, we relaunched in early Feb and I sailed with some Aussie mates from Krabi to Phuket, checked out of Thailand and then down to Langkawi. We spent a few nights at anchorages around Langkawi and decided it was too good not to come back for some more cruising.

Following lengthy discussions in the Ubin bar, Edwin, Luke and Rana all agreed we should take advantage whilst the boat is in Langkawi and go up for 5 days cruising. We all caught the 1:15pm Scoot flight on 23rd March, landing in Langkawi mid pm. Luke, Rana and Edwin headed to the Billion supermarket in Kuah for provisions and I continued to Royal Langkawi Yacht Club to set up the boat. The hull had been cleaned the day before and the boat is in excellent condition after the annual maintenance. We left the marina just before 6pm, determined to find an anchorage for the first night. We motor sailed and found a great spot before dark between Cenang Beach and Tepor Island, about 8-9NM west of RLYC. It was a great anchorage and there were fireworks and fire shows on the beach for entertainment and Luke cooked Italian sausages and vegies he had brought back all the way from Rome that week.

We set off next morning and the wind continued to build until we had 24kn apparent with a huge heel and hit 9.2kn at full tilt. Luke told me later he was considering a reef, but Edwin and I were like – yeah nah, lets just let the main sheet out a bit more and enjoy it while we can. We rode the wind around the island and anchored off the Datai hotel (SGD1,200/night) on the northwest of Langkawi. This is an excellent anchorage and great for a swim and lunch.

Later in the afternoon, we sailed and motor sailed as the wind subsided, around to the north east and the entrance to the signature Langkawi anchorage – the hold in the wall. Luke managed to navigate through the narrow opening with the boom tent still on and we anchored several hundred metres in, fully protected from all sides. The tourists’ boats depart after 5pm and you’re left with spectacular views and lots of eagles effortlessly riding the thermals. We had the entire anchorage to ourselves for the night and enjoyed a proper Singaporean chicken curry courtesy of Edwin. He has had way too much practice in the office kitchen at CSC over the years!

After a leisurely breakfast, we headed out and sailed through the channel below Pulau Langgun where we saw an eagle take a flying fish skimming across the surface at full speed. We continued to loop around the east and down to the southeast of Langkawi, anchoring in a narrow spot between the main island and Pulau Selat Riang-Riang and Teluk Ujong Buloh. This was another spectacular anchorage. We put out 40M of chain and another yacht came in later and anchored a sensible distance away. After Luke & Rana’s fabulous pasta dinner and red wine, we settled in for the night as the wind gusted up. The boat danced around quite a bit as the wind came in from various openings, but the anchor was well set. The boat behind got a bit anxious at 3am and flashed a light, concerned we were dragging. But Luke and Edwin were confident it was just the chain being extended in the gusts and we were holding well. The skipper was not even concerned enough to get out of bed! The Brazilian boat eventually went back to sleep, and all was fine.

The next morning, as we were departing the anchorage, a few dolphins were spotted nearby.  We took the opportunity to explore several other fabulous anchorages for future reference including: Teluk Chawi, Teluk Ayer Tuan and the famous Fjords anchorage, behind Pulau Gubang Darat. We then had a great sail counterclockwise around Pulau Singa Besar and anchored in the calm water at Teluk Ketapang.  Edwin tried his hand at trolling a lure for the last few miles, but didn’t manage to catch anything.  Which was understandable given the great boat speed we were making.
Once the anchor was down in about 4-5M of water in a nice muddy bottom, Rana swam across to the beach while sundowners & snacks were prepared.  During the sail, the skipper had made a pizza dough, and Luke baked another fabulous Birregurra pizza for dinner. Another fine bottle of Penfolds was found in the stores to compliment the pizza nicely.

After a good night’s rest at anchor we arose to a great sunrise, and had another excellent sail, tacking our way clockwise around Singa Besar and then all the way up the channel back to RLYC. We passed the port lateral buoy – Jerkom 1, where the navionics official notes said it was “a red buoy, but with white bird shit”.  We guess they did not want us to mistake it for a safe water buoy

A quick wash down for the boat and we departed the marina in plenty of time to get the 3:40pm Scoot flight home. Upon landing, it was straight to CSC for members night, with lots of beers and sharing of pics, reminiscing a great week of sailing.
All in, our discovery circumnavigation of Langkawi clocked just close to 100nm over 5 days, cruising very comfortably on Birregurra.

Langkawi really is an under rated cruising ground. The best season is November to April as after that the rain really starts to build. We had excellent wind in the morning and later in the afternoons. Everything is relatively cheap and the duty free an added bonus. For sure I’ll be back for some more cruising soon.

CSC Easter Sunday Sailing & Egg Hunt 2026

7th April 2026/in Community, Social/by CSC

The Easter Day event held at Changi Sailing Club was a fun-filled and memorable experience for all participants, combining adventure on the water with festive Easter activities on land. A total of 15 sailors took part in the event, where they were introduced to a variety of boats, including three Pacers (with 3–7 sailors per boat), one ILCA, and one Topper.

The day began with hands-on learning as participants were taught how to rig the boats and understand how each one works. The sailors, especially the younger ones, were full of excitement and curiosity as they explored something new. They worked closely together in teams to get the boats ready, showing great teamwork, communication, and enthusiasm even before heading out to sea.

Once on the water, the real adventure began. The sailors launched from CSC and sailed to Loyang area and spent about an hour sailing together. Those on the Pacers took turns helming the boat, ensuring everyone had a chance to steer and experience being in control. The sea was filled with laughter and energy as the kids enjoyed splashing water at one another and playfully chasing other boats. It was not just a learning experience, but also a time of pure fun and bonding on the water.

After the sailing session, the excitement continued with a lively Easter egg hunt. A total of 80 eggs were hidden across four different areas around the club, including Changi Hall, Tekong Hall, the restaurant area, and the boat park. The children eagerly ran around searching high and low, with some choosing to team up and combine their eggs, while others preferred the challenge of collecting them on their own. The competitive spirit and excitement were clearly visible as everyone tried their best to gather as many eggs as possible. The champions of the egg hunt were Luella, Sumi, Afiya, Amelie, and Khalisha.

The fun did not stop there, as the event also featured an egg coloring contest. The children showcased their creativity through colorful and imaginative designs, each bringing their own unique ideas to life. The activity allowed them to express themselves artistically while enjoying the festive spirit of Easter. Khalisha stood out with her creativity and was awarded the champion of the coloring contest.

To wrap up the day, light refreshments were provided by George’s, giving everyone a chance to relax, recharge, and share their experiences with one another. The atmosphere was filled with smiles, laughter, and a strong sense of accomplishment.

Overall, the Easter Day event was a fantastic success. It provided a perfect balance of learning, teamwork, creativity, and fun. The children not only gained new sailing experiences but also created wonderful memories with their friends. Their excitement and happiness throughout the day truly reflected how enjoyable and meaningful the event was for everyone involved.
