at the helm VICE COMMODORE'S MESSAGE Dear Members,

During this past month of August, I trust you all had a great time celebrating our National Day as well as enjoying the Beijing Olympic Games. What a month it was!

We all cheered Team Singapore and basked in the reflected glory of Singapore's table tennis heroines bringing home the coveted silver medals, the first time in almost half a century. We are equally proud of the sterling performances given by Singapore's young sailors and all the other Olympians. All in all, we join the nation in saying. Well Done Team Singapore!

In year 2010 when Singapore will be hosting the inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG), the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club strongly supports these games and will play our part, along with other sporting and various organizations in our country.

As you walk around the Club, you would have noticed colourful recycling bins for plastics, papers and cans. Let's do our part in "Saving Gaia" by feeding these recycling bins. We have placed recycling bins at our clubhouse and slip near the marina office.

The contents of these bins will be sorted out for recycling regularly.

We have also just concluded another successful RSYC Regatta last month. Sincere thanks go out to all the staff, members and especially the volunteers for the great show they all put up. 1 must single out especially Keith Dunn, the Regatta chairman.

Committee Member Neo Wee Sim, and our Assistant Marina Manager Robat bin Ahmad, for their outstanding leaderships and a job well done. And to all the winners, our heartiest congratulations!

With all the events and activities taking place at the Club, I would like to urge my fellow members to be proactive and take the lead in the affairs and activities of the RSYC. Our members, with their in-depth and invaluable knowledge about the Club, are in the best position to be in the driver's seat of any major events we organize.

A short note on events and activities planned for the coming months: We will be bringing back our monthly golf game, tombola and many more. On 21 November 2008, we will be having our annual Charity Golf. For this occasion, we are very happy and honoured that the President of Singapore, Mr S.R. Nathan, has graciously consented to attend the Gala Dinner at our Club, following the golf tournament.

This also leads me to the issue of the ageing membership of our Club. We need to attract a new generation of younger members to complement the existing membership base of older and more experienced members. The RSYC Committee will be planning

a vigorous programme to tackle our Club's ageing issue.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Club more often. Thanks for your wonderful support so far this year. There are very attractive events planned by our hard working

management and staff for the rest of 2008. Do make it a point to attend these events mentioned in the magazine. Enjoy your Club!

With best wishes,

Tan Kay Hum Vice Commodore

at the helm GENERAL MANAGER'S MESSAGE Dear Members,

With the successful completion of the RSYC Regatta 2008 last month, I would like to thank everyone that made the event a success.

We welcome on board Ms jessica Lee, our new Events Manager, who joined us in August. With her combined Food & Beverage and events management experience, I am confident we will see much improvement in the coming months in organized activities for the enjoyment of our members.

/ .iN.

On this score, I would like to invite our members and their guests to join us in the Mid-Autumn Festival where there will be a bazaar, a lantern-making competition and a parade of lanterns along the West Coast Park on 12 September. There will also be a live screening of all the Formula One action from the Singapore Grand Prix during the weekend of 26 to 28 September. To make a bigger splash at this year's Oktoberfest, we are bringing in a twelve-piece Swiss musical band on Saturday 27 September, an event you won't want to miss!

On National Day last 9th of August, several of our members had a great time watching the spectacular fireworks display from their boats off the waters at the Marina South, after enjoying the afternoon barbecuing on Eagles Beach. We were delighted to see the non-boating members taking part in this year's National Day Cruise. This is why our sea sports team will be organizing more cruising trips where our non-boaters are able to participate as well.

We have been receiving very useful feedbacks from our members regarding the quality of food and the level of service at the Club's restaurants. Your feedbacks and suggestions - both positive and negative - are very much appreciated and I would like to assure members that we take these suggestions seriously. So, please continue to let us know how we can serve you better.

Some housekeeping notes: We have moved the Mahjong & Card Room to the 2nd floor to provide more space for our members to enjoy mahjong and card games. At the same time, we are making available two new private rooms for added privacy.

To underscore the quick reaction to your constructive feedbacks, we took immediate action to upgrade the new Mahjong Room, such as installing new sound-buffering panels in the walls and tinting up the windows to minimize glare.

We have also received several feedbacks about the .state of the exercise equipments at the Club. Although our fitness instructor and maintenance team have been working hard to maintain the equipments in a good condition, time has taken its loll on them.

That is why I am pleased to inform you that the exercise machines in the gym will be replaced soon with new and more up-to-date equipments.

Lastly, I would like to encourage our members to patronize and support the Club's promotions and events more often, and help us make RSYC a truly well-supported members' Club.

Yours sincerely, Norbert Finger General Manager 28 August 2008

This year RSYC look two bold decisions in revising the racing format. First was the revival of the once-popular Round-Island race, and the other was the Passage Race to Tioman.

The Round Island was a race for the older salt to relive the memory and glory of sailing in Singapore past, and the Tioman passage was a race to showcase the true seamanship of those

who raced in it. This regatta, we had 13 yachts including a team from japan.

isr 'vx

Day 1 started off with the Round the Island Challenge from Raffles Marina to Changi Sailing Club. Altogether 11 boats got off the start line just outside of the Raffles Marina at 9:00 am.

Although the tide was against the boats at the start, steady winds kept the fleet

moving eastwards at 5 knots. Bill Bremner's Foxy Lady broke away early from the pack and established a commanding lead at nearly an hour into the race.

The chasing pack consisted of Keith Dunn's Lunch Cutter, Jeff Davison's Panic, Jonathan Mahony's Happy Endings and Robert Howison's L'autre Femme.

Graham Lind's Sumatra, Dave Ross's Frangipani Girl, Kiyoshi Seki's Pink Dolphin, Leslie Fung's Todak 2 and Joe Howe's Nepenthe ^ade up the tail end of the race.

Foxy Lady arrived first at the finish line at Changi Sailing Club at around 5:30 pm.The last boat that motored into

Changi Sailing Club was Pink Dolphin, arriving around 10:00 pm.

The Round the Island Challenge would not have been possible without the assistance of Raffles Marina, One Degree 15 Marina Club, SAF

Yacht Club, and Changi Sailing Club. This year's RSYC Regatta was a fine example of the close cooperation among yacht clubs in Singapore to pool resources and share expertise that is so necessary for Singapore's next developmental plan of having international regattas in local waters. e Pursuit Race from Changi and Marina South started with a staggered format with the slower

ing their way back to

arrive at the

finish line at the same time.The planning went well as all the competitors reached the finish within 30 minutes of each other.

Sailing conditions were very good and the strong winds gave the sailors the opportunity to fly their colourful spinnakers in a dash from Eastern

Buoy to Marina South. The racers were blessed with ideal sailing conditions until they reached the Bedok Jetty when the winds suddenly died off bringing the boats to a standstill. Using their in-depth knowledge of local waters and wind conditions, Lunch Cutter and Panic made up lost ground to Frangipani Girl and Foxy Lady with only a few miles away from the finish line. After nearly a hour of agonizing wail, the winds picked up again and the competitors made a spectacular dash towards the finish line. Lunch Cutter narrowly managed to cross the finish line - located outside of the Marina Barrage - ahead of the hard-charging Panic.

The Tioman Race on 18th of July picked up where the Passage Race ended outside the Marina Bay. The finish line for the Passage Race acted as the start line for the Tioman Race

''Sailing conditions were very good and the strong winds gave the sailors the opportunity to fly their colourful spinnakers..."

that will see the competitors sail non-stop to Tioman, Malaysia for the next 20 hours.

Only six boats in total took part in the race. One of them was Joe Howe who sailed solo

with Nepenthe. There was no shortage of admiration amongst the competitors and race organizers for his courage and determination to sail solo all the way to Tioman. From flag off, excellent wind conditions carried the competitors eastwards towards Eastern Buoy and to the entrance of the Lima Channel in good time and speed.

Happy Endings arrived in Tioman the next day around two in the afternoon - taking nearly 24 hours to complete the

trip. The last boat to cross the Tioman finish line was our intrepid solo sailor Joe Howe on Nepenthe who came in at around 9:00 pm that night. www.rsyc.org.sg

Memories of RSYC REGATTA 2008

By Neo Wee Sim

RSYC is a premier club in Singapore, and the RSYC Regatta is a signature event of this premier Club. Unlike the many other local regattas with the same old boring windward leeward format, this RSYC Regatta format was very different and very old.

Both the Round Island Challenge and the Tioman Passage Pursuit Race were once very popular more than 20 years ago when I was a teenager. Now in my 50s, it was great for old salt like me to relive the fun and excitement of yesteryears, sailing where there were no radar and no CPS were on board. With only compass and echo sounder then, it was tricky to navigate in the local waters.

Fortunately we had strong southerly breeze, "Pink Dolphin" made good time and managed to cross the finish line at 3.30 pm. Though again "Pink Dolphin" was the last boat to cross, she won the race in the PY class on handicap.

The Tioman Passage was a totally different experience. It was an overnight race, and it was a true test of seamanship. The technical, tactical, and night navigational skills of the skipper and crew were put to the test. The race started at 2 pm on July 18 off the Marina Bay barrage with six boats. With strong and steady south-westerly breeze, the fleet made its way to Lima channel, all the way with the spin flying. Again, "Pink Dolphin" was among a pack of three slower boats, managed to clear Lima channel just before sunset. The breeze throughout the night was strong with occasional gusts. The onboard GPS recorded a top speed of 11 knots. In nautical sense, if was fast.

I do not know what time the first boat crossed the finish line at

Tioman but if was almost noon for "Pink Dolphin". What an exciting 22-hour non-stop sailing.

Would my Japanese friends and 1 do it all over again next year? You bet!

was sailing on "Pink Dolphin" with all Japanese crew for this Regatta. As a cruiser, "Pink Dolphin" was heavy and slow. The Round Island Challenge started from the waters off Raffles Marina and all the boats had to clear three gates and finish off at Changi Sailing Club. I believe there were 13 boats at the start line on July 12.

"Pink Dolphin" was among a pack of three slow boats and it took us almost four hours to clear the first Gate offluas, and another three and a half hours to reach the second Gale at

Sister Islands. By then the pack ahead had already cleared the third Gate manned by SAP Changi and rounded the

Eastern Buoy. As we knew we would not make it to Changi| by sundown, we decided to abandon the last two legs and motored all the way to Changi Sailing Club.Though it was a right decision, it did not help as we arrived Changi Sailing Club close to midnight. Singapore has grown in size. I recall it used to take about 12 hours to sail from

the western side of the causeway to the eastern side, I could hardly cover half that distance now.

Sunday 13 July was a pursuit race back from Changi Sailing Club to the Marina Bay Reservoir barrage with the Singapore Flyer as the backdrop. As

"Pink Dolphit^" came in last the race before, she was the first to start at

10 am. We f/ad to round th Eastern

National Day Cruise Members reached Eagles' Bay at 12.40pm. Some of the members volunteered to assist the official to start up the fire for the BBQ and were soon enjoying the barbecued foods that

were prepared by some of the members, and they were very interactive throughout the whole outing. The kids participated in activities, such as building sand castles, while the adults

continued to interact during the BBQ.

Although the weather In the late afternoon was not good (light drizzling), it didn't affect the members' desire to watch the

firework. Members then assisted the official in cleaning up the place and packing up of BBQ equipment at 6.30pm.

Weather was good in the evening which enabled us to catch the fireworks at around 8.00pm. Members complimented the whole event, as well as the BBQ foods, and hope that the Club can organize more of such outings for the members to mix and gather around.

CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT Friday 21 November 2008 Dear Golfers,

GUEST-OF-HONOUR

The Republic of Singapore Yacht Club ("RSVC") will be hosting another Charity Golf this year and I take great pleasure to invite you to this signature annual event, the RSVC Charity Golf 2008,on Friday November 21 2008.

The event shall comprise of a Golf Tournament during the day at the Warren Golf and Country Club, and a Gala Dinner at the RSVC in the evening. Our

esteemed patron, the president of Singapore, His Excellency S R Nathan will grace this year's event at the Gala Dinner.

The Charity Golf is one of the many ways RSVC showcases its social

responsibility. It was started several years ago as a way of giving back to society

and helping worthy causes in a small way through the spirit and the beauty of

the game oT golf. Tens of thousands of dollars had been raised and many non-

pront charilalDle organizations had benefited from it. This year's beneficiary is no other than the Singapore Children's Society, where RSVC shares the same patronage with President S R Nathan.

Nathan.

"Charity" comes before "Golf". So, while you look forward to a fun-filled golf in the day and a sumptuous dinner at night, let's not forget the purpose of tlie Charity Golf. Let us all be charitable first and golfing second for the less fortunate children of Singapore. Let us put our sporting spirit together to play a small part in making life a little better for them. Your small part is not small by all measures. Remember, it is those smalt droplets of water that makes the mighty ocean.

During the 1920s, Max Blake designed and built many successful boats for

sailing enthusiasts.

W. MAXWELL BLAKE Commodore of SYC in 1919 William Maxwell Blake was born on 9 )une 1874 at Bramerton Hall, near Norwich, England. Son

of a vicar, he was educated at Woodbridge School and apprenticed first at Robertson's boatyard in Woodbridge, then at Forrestt & Son's shipyard in Wivenhoe.

He moved to Singapore in 1901, to work as a naval architect for an engineering and boat building firm known as Riley Hargreaves. In 1914 this firm was taken over by United Engineers.

In 1919, after the cessation of hostilities in Europe, Blake and other keen sailing friends decided to start or revive the Singapore Yacht Club, based at the shipyard atTanjong Rhu. While busy building yachts for enthusiasts, he also became commodore of

SYC in 1919, before going back to England in 1920 on home leave.

The yacht club quickly grew from strength to strength and had to move to larger and permanent premises leased from the Singapore Harbour

Unfortunately WMB's wife Gertrude became psychologically depressed, partly because she did not want to live in Woodbridge. So with much sacrifice on the part of my father, they moved to Felixtowe and lived in a flat in Queens Road. However WMB continued to

design boats and became involved with the Newson Brothers of Felixtowe

Ferry boatyard. Here he helped to build fishing boats and designed two pleasure boats named "The Deben Viking" and "The Orwell Viking" which took holiday makers in the summer. In the winter these super vessels were used for fishing by the Newsons. Eventually I believe they were used for the evacuation of Dunkirk.

sailing friends in 1919 helped to revive the Singapore Yacht Club, based at the shipyard atTanjong Rhu. At about that time, my father created a fleet of One Design yachts termed the "A Class".

By 1920 my father was due for long leave and I was ready for school, so we returned to England, to Southampton and visited

my grandmother. A Singapore friend lent us his holiday cottage at Fawley in Hampshire and my father took part in all (he local sailing until the winter of 1920 when he was due to go back to Singapore. He came to England again in 1925 and sailed at Cowes in "Monsoon", a six-metre yacht made of teak and was built at the Tanjong Rhu shipyard. It was shipped to England as deck cargo on board a British freighter. WMB won several prizes with "Monsoon" including a very handsome trophy we still have in the house. There are photographs of the yacht as well, when she was "dressed overall" at Cowes. "Monsoon"

continued to be sailed successfully by her new owners after WMB returned to Singapore.

Sadly in the beginning of 1939 WMB became ill and was diagnosed as having cancer. He was cared for by a very kind doctor and nurse; his wife having become neurotic and troublesome. His daughter arrived in England on leave with her husband and family just in time to bid him a final farewell in June of that year. He died a few days later on 19 June 1939 and his funeral was arranged to lake place at St Johns church, Felixtowe by the then Rector Cox. A large congregation attended the service including all the boat fraternity and local friends. WMB's last wish was to be buried in Woodbridge. So

we followed the hearse to the new cemetery in Woodbridge.

His granite tombstone bears a suitable inscription and can still be seen today.

An Appeal for Stories

In the meantime the SVC was going from strength to strength, with a growing membership and a growing fleet of boats. WMB managed to negotiate with the Singapore Harbour Board (now the Port of Singapore Authority or PSA), so that a permanent site could be established for the Club to be near the docks.

All continued well in Singapore until 1929 when the "slump" came and rubber and tin, which were Malaya's main products, fell to 6 pence in the pound. Many top men, including my father, were replaced by lesser-paid staff. Consequently WMB, with his wife and daughter, decided to return to Woodbridge, where he had been so happy as a boy, close to his beloved Deben and ail that was associated with it. Before he left

Singapore, he was given many handsome presents by the Tanjong Rhu shipyard at a farewell ceremony.

In 1930 WMB's daughter Kathleen married to a family friend working in Singapore, Maxwell Heron Matheson. The couple left England and went to live in Singapore.
