The final beer before departure! 5:30am we’ve left CSC. The first taste of sailing by night. Thanks to Ronny (CSC’s Accounts Executive), outbound immigration clearing was a piece of cake.

With the North-East Monsoon Season finally over, sailors participating in the first Sunday Series Race of 2019 had to contend with tricky wind conditions on course 5, a refreshing change from the windward leewards between Ubin & Tekong. The Multihulls seemed visibly tired/exhausted from the past 3 months of racing, as only 2 Beach Catamarans […]

Our 3rd race for the Twilight Series III was blessed with a gentle south-southwesterly breeze, looking a lot more promising compared to last week’s washout.
