Bi-Monthly Trophy Race July & September 2021 series The 4th BTR on 10 July 2021 had a start with heavy downpour all morning. The rain eventually stopped right at the 2pm mark and just in time for the race to begin. The race started off at 2pm sharp with 8 participating boats on the
starting point on time. The race started off in light winds of 3-6 knots throughout the race course. However, immediately after the boats rounded the turn around point, the wind dropped to almost near 0 knots. Scarlett O' Hara barely made it to the finishing line with 40 seconds
to spare. The rest of the fleet was unfortunately scored with a TimeLimit Expire (TLE). It was unfortunate that winds ceased in the middle of the race and left a lot of boats on stand-by. Bravo Zulu to all sailors who pushed on to try and reach the finish line! Thank you for being as optimistic as us even though we are faced with the wet weather and on-off winds.

The September BTR started out with a strong fleet of 9 participating boats, with 3 visiting boats (Mystic River, Rumbottle, TODAK 2 and Zephyr). The day started out with a good constant breeze of 8-12 knots, which allowed the race committee to run a slightly longer course than usual. The 9 sailors managed to sail down the Singapore Straits in shifty and gusty offshore wind, which made it super challenging for all the boats. In the end, our Competent Crew

Get-Kids-Afloat (GKA) Course Our August was fully packed with GKA sessions every week and one class was conducted in September! Despite the rainy weather in the mornings of our courses, the afternoons gave the kids an ample opportunity to test their skills on the water. In learning how to sail, it is a good thing to remember not to underestimate the eagerness of kids to truly learn based on their age. Our youngest participants were 7 year old kids who amazingly displayed confidence in handling their own boats out in the sea! The rainy weather also brought along strong gusts of wind throughout August and September. This turned our calm seas into a perfect training ground for the kids to test out their reflexes in unpredictable sailing conditions. One moment they are moving along calmly and the next they’ll be watching out for the boom! All the know-hows of sailing is taught step-by-step by our sailing instructors. This allows encouragement for the love of the water, sailing, and all that sailing involves, especially having fun! Our last batch of GKA

kids enjoyed learning about different terminologies, knots, rigging, capsize recovery, as well as the basics of launching and recovery with guidance at our beach area. Safety comes first so all sailors and instructors wear life jackets on and around the water. Kids that have completed our GKA course can then move on to our C Squads and B Squads which continues their learning and helps advance their skills in sailing. These squads are all about getting more
time on the water. This is a great way for the kids to practice and refine the skills they have learned from GKA. We closed the course registration for our October, November and December classes as has been fully subscribed since early July! If you are interested in signing-up your kids for this amazing sailing course, please refer to the upcoming course dates we have in the first quarter of 2022.

What are your personal goals in terms of sailing? I hope that one day I will be able to represent Singapore in international sailing competitions.
What about your worst experience in sailing? In another one of my recent races, I capsized just 50m away from the finishing line.

I learn and practice Aikido since I was 4 years old. I like to swim leisurely with my daddy and brother. I also enjoy cycling with my family at the various parks in Singapore.

It was only meant to be a four day course, but I greatly enjoyed that sailing experience and decided to continue my sailing journey. What’s your favourite aspect of sailing? The massive adrenaline rush you get while sailing especially during strong winds. What can you say about your time with SAF Yacht Club? My time in SAFYC has been extremely enjoyable. I greatly treasure spending

Navy Success Story Navy? Crazy? Some people may say it takes a lot of craziness to join the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) as a career given its intense training and commitment. Is it really so?
development, always preparing us to be ready for new appointments and challenges. For instance, I am currently attending the Command and Staff College course which will prepare me to take up command in the near future.
In this issue, we spoke to MAJ Daryl Quah, a naval officer and SAFYC dinghy sailor, to find out the purpose and what keeps him going in this “crazy” career.
The RSN is very much like a big family - we call it the Navy family. In this close-knitted family, we watch out and take care of one another, making sure that nobody is ever left behind.
Share with us what sparked your interest in a career with the RSN?
What do you find fulfilling in your everyday work?
MAJ Quah: As an avid dinghy sailor since my younger days, it was not surprising that I had a natural affinity with the sea and the RSN. Of course, the RSN’s advertisement about the sun, sand and the sea was another huge draw!
MAJ Quah: What I find fulfilling is the purpose of our work - our efforts contribute to the overall security of Singapore and ensure that our sea lines of communication are kept open and accessible to allow trade and our economy to flourish.
Can you tell us more about the life and culture in the RSN?
What is your most memorable experience or defining moment in the RSN so far?
MAJ Quah: Life in the RSN is truly purposeful and dynamic – we are 24/7 on the front line of defence, protecting the everyday of Singaporeans. This immense sense of purpose of our job is what keeps me and my fellow sailors going. Furthermore, the opportunity to represent Singapore when we sail to the different foreign ports of call makes me feel proud to be serving in the RSN. Apart from the daily operations, the RSN also focuses on our professional
MAJ Quah: Some of the most memorable moments were when I was given the honour to be appointed as the reserved Contingent Commander for the RSN’s Guard of Honour contingent during NDP 2019 and the Contingent Commander for the Chief of Navy’s Change of Command ceremony in 2020. These experiences of proudly leading and marching out with the contingents reinforced my pride in wearing the RSN uniform and made me firmly
MAJ Daryl Quah as the Contingent Commander for the RSN’s Guard of Honour contingent during NDP 2019.
believe that the RSN is the right career for me. The most defining moment of my RSN career thus far was the opportunity to be deployed to the Gulf of Aden for counter-piracy operations under the Combined Task Force (CTF) 151 in 2010. This was the epitome of conducting real time maritime operations as we worked closely with foreign navies in ensuring regional safety and security. Furthermore, the RSN was handed the command of the CTF 151, giving us the chance to fly Singapore’s flag high and doing the country proud! What is the craziest thing that you have done in the RSN so far? MAJ Quah: What else can be crazier than signing on to be at the forefront of Singapore’s defence, handling maritime threats on a daily basis? It ain’t crazy, it’s the Navy! What advice would you give to those who are looking to join the RSN? MAJ Quah: If you are looking for a rewarding and challenging career, the RSN family welcomes you! Do not hesitate to get in touch with the Navy Recruitment Centre and clarify any doubts that you have.

Staff Spotlight Meet Sayed, our Marina Operations Officer!
What is your favorite part of working at the Club?
How long have you been working for SAFYC?
I do love exchanging stories and experiences with members that I encounter every day. Everybody always has something interesting to share. I also learn new things about boats every time I encounter new members with new boats coming in.
I have been working for the Club for 11 years now, I started around 2010. I actually discovered the club via newspaper when they posted an opening for a Marina staff. And that is where my journey with the Club began. Back then I was already working under Mr. Allan Mok and also until now. I was originally stationed at Sembawang but I also went to Changi to support the Marina there for only a year. After the Changi side closed down, I went back to Sembawang again. What is your role in the Marina operations of the Club? I am a Marina Officer. I facilitate the launching and recovery of boats and drive the tractor too. I also help out members when they have questions about their boats and assist in small repairs whenever I can. Any memorable experiences from your Marina work? Some memorable experiences I have are the ones wherein I have to rescue members when their boats are grounded or they are stuck in the sea. It is quite a rigorous physical job and it requires certain knowledge of towing people to safety.
I also get to handle different people with different attitudes and it is an interesting learning experience for me. What do you enjoy doing when you are not working? Do you have any hobbies? I enjoy fishing! It's my hobby since I was young. I fish in a lot of places but I frequently visit the southern side. So far, the biggest catch I had was an 80kg grouper! I also like to visit southern islands when I go for fishing. Where would you like to go on a dream destination? I would very much like to visit Saudi Arabia and fulfill my pilgrimage with my partner. I would be very happy to experience that. Do you have any pets? I have a fat cat. I adopted her a few years ago and her name is Makcu.
What’s your favorite place of all the places you’ve travelled? My trip to Bandung a few years ago (maybe in 2016 or 2017) was a memorable one. I was able to witness real lava from a volcano we visited! It was also cold and refreshing in Bandung. I was also quite happy to have tried their version of steamed Nasi Lemak and other amazing food options they offer! Use 3 words to describe yourself for people who do not know a thing about you? Friendly, safety-conscious at work, and quite direct and frank with words.
It gives me immense pleasure to be able to help and assist them in dire circumstances and I am always happy to lend a helping hand. What’s the most exciting part of your job? I get to visit interesting places and other neighboring Marina. The last once I visited was Nongsa Marina in Indonesia. It was a very good experience and I had fun.
