20th Singapore Straits
Regatta To Play Host To Inaugural SB20 Asia Pacific Championships
The SB20
fleet will be racing for more than just the Singapore Straits Regatta medals in
January 2014. Organisers are elated to confirm that the event will also see the
SB20 fleet contesting for the Asia Pacific Champion title.
The regatta within a regatta will see
some of the regions best SB20 and keelboat sailors vie for honours over 3 days
– 16th, 17th and 18th January 2014. Challenging
conditions await the teams as they will be racing off the southern stretch of
east coast beach in the seasonal northeast monsoon winds. The offshore breeze
and short chops would ensure that the fleet is well tested.
Singapore’s local SB20 fleet is expected
to be out in full force, and with the Singapore Sailing Federation’s fleet of 8
boats joining in the fray, it is expected that the entries will surpass the
20-boat entry at the recent Western Circuit Sailing Regatta held at Raffles
Marina in August.
As in 2013, the Federation will be
putting up its fleet of boats for charter at subsidised rates for participating
teams without a boat. Interested teams are invited to send enquiries to info@singaporesailing.org.sg
Charter rates:
- 320 SGD for 3 days of racing + 1 practice day
- 500 SGD security deposit
