We end the 3rd weekend of 2 pax SMM restrictions with another round of Sunday Series 2-up sailing, sailing to North Angler and back on a Pennant 8 Course. An uncommon North-Easterly breeze greeted the small fleet of boats on the start line, paired with a significant outgoing tide to catapult the sailors around the […]
After a successful 2-up Sunday Series Race on 3rd October, we were glad to see more boats participating in this weekend’s 2-up Twilight Race. With the Twilight Course only extending as far as Squance and Changi Buoy, it is a great race for beginners who are learning how to race. However, the day’s conditions were […]
With the prevailing restrictions only allowing 2 persons to sail at all times, the club pivoted to 2-up racing for the first 4 weekends in October, allowing racing to continue as scheduled. However, with the revised crew numbers, these races are stand-alone, and will not count towards the overall Sunday Series/Twilight Results for all class […]
Just as we were getting into the groove of regular weekly club racing, the government announces new safe management measures reducing number of persons allowed to go sailing from 5 to 2, effectively suspending our Sunday Series III and Twilight Series III from 27 September to 24 October.

With community cases and stress levels conjointly rising, what better way to escape today’s realities and de-stress, than to go sailing? We resumed Sunday Series III racing on 19th September, kicking off the series with a clockwise circumnavigation of Pulau Ubin (Pennant 6, green). Tricky winds all over the course kept the sailors on their […]
After a great day out for the final race of our Twilight Series II, we thought conditions could not get any better for the weekend…. but it did!

We kicked off the finals weekend with the Twilight Series II, Race 5. With similar conditions to last week’s race, sailors were once again treated to near-perfect weather on the start line, clear skies with a steady south-easterly breeze. The keelboats enter this weekend with close competition for the podium positions in both IRC and […]
Having experienced 2 weekends of cold & wet weather, yesterday’s clear skies and 7-8knot winds was certainly most welcome by all who were participating in the 4th race of the Twilight Series II. Some sailors were a little overexcited, losing footwear, winch handle and crew …. all of which happened in a span of 2 […]
Our Sunday Series II racing made a dramatic return on 22 August, with dark & stormy conditions greeting sailors on the start line. The easterly and southwesterly systems converged to dump water on the pennant 3 course – as if the skies had prepared a welcome shower for the fleet. The ensuing heavy downpour resulted […]

Thankfully a gentle breeze from the south west greeted the sailors, allowing the fleet to tackle the outgoing tide on their journey to Squance. Threatening weather systems […]
