May(Hem) Regatta Program

Dear friends,

A short reminder to all the owners and crew for this weekend (skippers please forward this email to your crew),

Thanks to Robin Young from Pyxis who put a lot of effort in a very short time so that this event can happen.

Racing
There will be racing Saturday and Sunday with a start time of 1400h each day to try and get the best of the wind. A maximum of 9 races is scheduled with not more than 5 race per day. There will be a briefing by the RO at 1300 sharp at the Pub and registration from 1100h on the first day for all participants.

The entry fee is $50 per crew with a maximum of SGD150 per boat for the weekend which will include a free event cap for all crew.

Prize giving will be held at the pool after the Sunday races (it's getting a real habit now...).

BBQ
There is a BBQ planned for Saturday, starting soon after packing up the boats. The BBQ is $30 per person which should be paid at the time of registration.
Compulsory Hawaiian shirt required, so it's time to dig them out the back of the wardrobe!
If all skippers could give an indication of attendees to the BBQ prior to the weekend it would be much appreciated.


Crew
Finally, if there is any boat short of crew, please let us know by replying to this email as we have now a list of about 50 crew we can put you in touch with.

Getting ready?

Next week-end 22-23 may will be the very expected second regatta of our Singapore national Championship and already yesterday (sunday) we could see a lot of activity around the boats. Tool boxes were out and crew were getting their machines ready before the promising race to come.

After all this fine tuning and even if no round-the-cans were scheduled officially, 5 boats went out on the water for some unsollicited but always welcome sessions of speed testing and manoeuvring. "Glasgow Kiss", "Hullabaloo", "Xoco", "Alidade" and "Over there" enjoyed a nice breeze which typically grew to about 10knots as from 2 pm sharp.


The day before, "Hullabaloo" (again), "Su Me" and "Bandit" did there very best to win the RM Lady's Helm regatta even though racing on handicap is not the SB3's cup of tea. It was surely another good training however and look forward to read the official review (if any). 


Great News

After "Pyxis", sold to Robin Young and "Xoco", (ex Vitra) sold to Max Hartvigsen and Ola Andersen earlier this year, we are very pleased to welcome 2 new Owners joining the fun. "Over There" has been sold to Marcus Tehan who used to sail on "Pyxis" and "who could not resist" when "Pocapena" will very soon be driven by a new Australian Owner. These fresh arrivals in the fleet are obvioulsy very good news after the 4 boats that joined the fleet in 2009 (Alidade, Bandit, Hullabaloo, Su Me). Remains now only Dutchess available for sale. She is the youngest boat of the fleet and a fast one as we can all remember. 




We have 8 boats confirmed sofar for the May(hem) Regatta:

Confirmed
Alidade
Bandit
Glasgow Kiss
Hullabaloo
Over there
Pyxis
Su Me
The Dogs 3

Singapore SB3 Annual Dinner

An excellent time had by all......Thanks to Joep for  organizing...

The Singapore SB3 Fleet held its annual dinner at the Boathouse at the Fullerton in Singapore, with the newly opened Integrated Resort providing an excellent backdrop. With the weather being kind, an outside dinner with free flow wine / beer was enjoyed by all the attendees into the wee hours.

For some the evening proved too much and with planned racing on Saturday only 50% of those committed to sailing turned up at the club. Those that did sail were rewarded with a very pleasant breeze, which removed some of the residue of the previous evening. The after sail discussion revolved around 'what did we talk about for 6 hours the previous evening'…
