South East Asian Trips

Yachting is a form of water sport that involves boats and a good amount of physical activity on your part. Yachting is a more modernized form of sailing. Yacht racing and dinghy racing are steadily gaining ground around the world as a popular form of water sport with a steady rise in the number of participants. Though saline water is preferable for yachting, the smaller crafts can be sailed in lakes and large rivers as well. Yachting in Singapore has seen an increase in the number of participants and the number of men who have shown enthusiasm.

The development of yachting in Singapore can probably be attributed to the presence of the favorable wind conditions and easy access to the generously sized water bodies. Yachting in Singapore, in all its aspects, is looked after by the Singapore Sailing Federation. It is the governing body that is directed to encourage and develop the water sports like yachting, sailing and surfing in Singapore. Whether it is yachting for recreation in the home waters or participating in the competitions in the international arena, Singapore Sailing Federation hopes to make its marks and create a niche for itself. The National Sailing Centre, located in the south eastern tip of the island, is the perfect place to get yourself acquainted with the nitty gritties of yachting and sailing in general. It is also a favored venue to host regional and international competitions because the south-Westland North East Monsoons greatly favor the activity of yachting all the year round.
