RSYC REGATTA 2009

The Regatta will be held on 11, 12, 18, and 19 July 2009 and returns to its more familiar format, with racing   taking place off the southern islands of Singapore. We   hope to attract   at least 30   sailing boats of different sizes and categories.

In 183 years of its history, the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club has built a solid yachting heritage over countless regattas. Many an interesting story   would be told   if only the trophies in the foyer could talk. The RSYC Regatta is the Club's premier   event, and a celebration of that long yachting history. Held annually over two action packed weekends in July, keelboats of all sizes compete in a series of passage and short course races in the ever changing waters around the southern islands of Singapore . Each year brings with it new challenges in the organising and running of the regatta, from finding and negotiating suitable racing grounds to   sustaining the hundreds of participants and guests that fill the Club during the event.

The Regatta   hosts a great variety of   yachts from local Clubs and Marinas. With such significant reclamation work to both east and west, it is now a significant commitment for yacht owners and crew to arrange for delivery to RSYC. For the first time, in acknowledgement of this commitment, RSYC will   be organising an informal race from the various participating clubs to RSYC before the commencement of the regatta itself.
