We finally after YEARS of planning took a sailing course. When we were first looking at moving to Singapore we read all about how "crazy about sailing" Singaporeans are. Of course this article was on some sailing site that was trying to sell yachts to Singapore expats. Since arrival we realized that sailing is really not at all a part of local culture at all! Hardly any wonder, this island is not known for having much wind and of course being a very busy shipping port it's a tricky place to navigate. There are some very small Marinas around the island in various states of disrepair (shockingly Raffles Marina is pretty shabby). The new Keppel Bay Marina is small but brand new and it offers some courses onboard their Beneteau 40s. The competent crew course we took went across to Batam and around the island of Singapore on two weekend overnight excursions.
