AT THE HELM

Dear Fellow Members

With the construction delays almost

behind us, your Club finished the

FY2013 financial year on 31 December

2013 slightly better placed from an

operating cash-flow position than in the

previous 12 month period and certainly

better positioned to deliver improved

financial results to our members for

the coming and future financial years.

Whilst the result was adversely affected

by the construction delays, it was still a

“reasonable” result in what were rather

trying times.

As all members are aware, three

years ago the Club commenced two

major development efforts – the

new dry stack and the additional

accommodation wing at our Marina

Lodge. Both of these projects offer

our membership additional amenities

and also provide the Club a way to

generate more cash-flow to support our

operations and long jeopardy.

Our new marina facilities have been

well-received in the boating community

with current and new members taking

advantage of Singapore’s premier dry

stacking facility. Dry stack occupancy

closed the year at 73%, well up on

the start of the year. The additional

capacity remaining will provide the

Club with the ability to attract new

members, engage and encourage

current members to embrace the

boating lifestyle (by purchasing a

boat), and importantly generate further

revenue in the coming year and beyond.

As a side note, we saw a large 70%

increase in FY2013 participation in our

PPCDL (Powered Pleasure Craft Driving

Licence) courses. This presents a

great opportunity for our management

to engage with Singapore’s aspiring

boating community to showcase our

Club and its membership benefits.

The Club also saw a 5% increase in

occupancy in our wet berths during the

FY2013 year and are busy re-looking at

options to re-configure a section of the

wet berths to provide different berthing

options and increase occupancy. At the

same time, we have seen increased,

unplanned, expenditure in the marina to

address maintenance issues at the wet

berths.

The long-awaited opening of the new

wing of our Marina Lodge has been

very well-received and supported by

our members. Occupancy in January

was above expectations and with

a strong bookings profile for the

coming months early signs are very

encouraging for the realising the

expected cash-flow returns from our

$8.1 million investment.

It has been widely reported in

Singapore as to the difficulties

ahead for industries that are reliant

on foreign labour and for industries

that are competing for local talent.

RSYC’s Food & Beverage department

has been adversely affected both

from an operational and financial

perspective, and has not performed

up to our expectations. We continue

to experience problems recruiting and

retaining quality staff and at the same

time we have failed to adequately

service our members. We continue to

work on solutions to these problems

and hope to demonstrate some positive

traction with respect to the outsourcing

of the Bridge Restaurant in the coming

months.

A more detailed financial report will be

provided in our Annual Report.

The famous American financier/

philanthropist/presidential advisor,

Bernard Baruch, once wrote “we did

not all come over on the same ship,

but we are all in the same boat”. I

would encourage all members to do

what they can to play an active and

constructive role in improving your

Club by patronising, participating and

providing feedback. It’s your Club, and

its continued success depends on all

of you.

GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE

Dear Members,

It is with regret that we have had to

close the Bridge restaurant, but the

manpower shortage caused by the

Ministry of Manpower quota system has

affected our operations severely. The

F&B staff have been working beyond

their normal capacity for the last

several months to cater to members’

needs.

As mentioned by the Commodore in his

letter to members, dated 30 January

2014, we are actively seeking a new

F&B operator to run the restaurant. This

will be carried out by our appointed

agent, Jones Lang LaSalle. In the

meantime, we have opened the Bridge

Terrace for members to entertain their

guests with a selection of snack items,

accompanied with a cup of coffee/tea,

or even a glass of beer or wine. Please

review the operating hours in the table

below for Bridge Terrace, Beacon Bar

and The Mess.

We have also revamped the Wharf

menu, with more Western dishes,

together with your favourite signature

menu items. Based on your feedback,

we are trying a new service procedure

at The Wharf. We are also trying new

food and beverage promotions to

entice members back to the Club, such

as our Teochew Porridge Buffet at the

Wharf and our regular Whisky & Wine

nights at the Mess on the last Friday of

each month.

Our Events Team has also planned

several events for members, the most

important being Commodore’s Day on

Saturday 22 March 2014. This will be an

open house concept, where members

and their families will be reacquainted

with all the services and facilities of the

Club. The team has planned a whole

host of fun activities and food stalls

to make this a day to remember. We

have also planned the Nongsa Point

Marina sailing expedition from 15 to 17

March, and the Rowing Open House

on Saturday 8 March 2014. You do not

need to know how to sail or row to

take part in these activities, so we ask

all members to sign up and be part of

these events.

I would like to congratulate Ms. Bella

Teo for winning the Employee of the

Quarter award. You may have seen

her running up and down our function

rooms and areas, coordinating banquet

events. You can find out more about

her job in our staff section.

I would also like to highlight that we

are having our Annual Staff Dinner

& Dance on Wednesday 23 April

2014. Club operating hours will be

affected because we are conducting

an emergency fire and evacuation

drill in the morning, and preparing

for the dinner event in the evening.

Please refer to the table below for

the operating hours of the various

departments on that day. We thank you

for your understanding.

Finally, on behalf of the staff, I would

like to thank members for their

generous Hong Bao contributions,

which was distributed to all the staff on

20 January 2014. The red packets were

distributed by our Commodore, and

committee members Mr. Joseph Kwok

and Mr. Tan Kay Toh. We are sincerely

appreciative of your kind gesture.

RSYC & The EnvironmentThe Republic of Singapore Yacht Club has come a long way from its beginnings from Trafalgar Street to its current location here at West Coast; and stepping into newer times, RSYC now aims to take a firmer stand in playing its role towards preserving the environment, one step at a time.

On several occasions in the past, RSYC has played its part in preserving the environment through efforts such as coastal clean-ups, which was jointly organized with the Nature Society of Singapore. More recently, the Club installed energy conserving motion-sensor lights in the washrooms on Level 2 of the main building.

Existing PracticesBehind the scenes, the Club has taken various steps to reduce its carbon footprints. Amongst which are:

Recycling & ReducingNewspapers & Magazines• Oldnewspapersandmagazines from around the clubhouse and accommodation rooms are collected, sorted and sent for recycling. The Club has engaged a waste disposal company that specializes in recycling.• Withtheadventofsmartdevices, freely available internet connectivity (Wifi) and upward trend of digital media consumption, the Housekeeping & Accommodations Department has stopped sending newspapers to the guest rooms from 1 January 2014. With the reduced orders of newspaper from 20 copies to 6 copies a day, the Club has not only managed to save several hundred dollars per month, but also reduced plastic and paper waste. Room guests who still wish to read the traditional printed newspapers, can request for their copies and collect them at the Front Office.

Reducing the changing of Bed Linens• Insteadofhavingitchangedon alternate days, bed linens for long- staying room guests are now changed twice a week, unless

soiled. This has a direct reduction in laundry-related costs; thus indirectly saves water and reduces chemical wastes from being released into the environment.

Re-using of Bath Towelsfor Room Guests• Roomguestsareencouragedto re-use their bath towels by hanging it up on the towel hangers provided. If a room guest wishes to have their bath towels changed, they can simply leave it on the bathroom floor and the chambermaids will have them replaced with fresh towels. This also has a direct reduction in laundry-related costs; thus indirectly saves water and reduces chemical wastes from being released into the environment.

Placement of Waste Sorting Binsat the Club• Topromoterecyclingamongst members, Waste Sorting Bins (see photo below) have been placed around the Club. Members are encouraged to play their part by sorting their waste accordingly before disposal. This will greatly help in the recycling process at the recycling plant.

Reducing Energy & Paper Usage• Staffmembersareconstantly reminding one another to switch off the air-conditioning and lights when it is not in use. This will help in reducing the total cost for electricity, thus indirectly reducing the Club’s carbon footprint.• Staffmembersarealsoencourage

to switch off all electrical appliances and devices when they are not in use.• Printingofunnecessarydocuments is also kept to a minimum. Instead, staff members are encouraged to digitally backup and archive files that are electronically produced. This has helped reduce our dependence on using printing paper.

Going Forward & Going GreenAs we move into the future, RSYC will work on creating a framework towards achieving a cleaner and sustainable environment for the benefit of all members and general public. We would like to encourage members to extend a helping hand and play an active role in preserving the environment. Below are some simple tips to get you started:

Reduce• Reduceyourusageofplasticsand items that contain harmful chemicals. Whenever possible, try to find alternatives which are environmentally friendly.

Reuse• Reuseitemssuchasbottlesand bags. Whenever possible, get items that can be re-used, such as re-usable shopping bags to replace commonly-used plastic bags or use longer-lasting plastic water bottles which you can refill and use for a longer duration.• Getcreativeandreuseyour everyday items. Everyday items can be repurposed for other uses than what it was originally intended for.

Recycle• Sortyourwasteintocategories– Plastics, Paper, Glass and Others. This will go along way in the recycling process at the recycling plant.• UsetheWasteSortingBins available at the Club.• Ifyourwasteishazardous (contains poisonous chemicals or toxic materials), please check with the National Environment Agency at 1800-2255632 or email them at [email protected] on how best to dispose it.

Lookout for more tips on Going Green For Boaters in the next issue of the magazine. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to drop us a note at [email protected] if you have any suggestions or recommendations that will help us save and preserve the environment.

Fleet Celebrates the Finish of the20th Annual Singapore Straits Regatta

Overall winner for IRC Open Class – Blue Note.

SPECIAL FEATURE

Poolside Party Celebrates the Close of the Regatta

Saturday 18 January 2014 saw the close of the nearly week

long 20th Singapore Straits Regatta. There was excitement in

the air when guests and participants started to arrive at the

ONE°15 Marina Club’s poolside for a sumptuous buffet dinner

and the handing out of awards.

“This year’s regatta was one of the best,” according to Gordon

Maxted who should know as he has participated in all the

Singapore Strait’s Regattas since they began back in 1995.

Drama on the High Seas

Highlights of this year’s regatta included lots of action and

drama. On the Batam side where races were held off the Nongsa

Point Marina for three days, saw heavy seas and high winds.

Participants were battered and sometimes

surprised at how rough conditions could

get. As Victoria Koh, skipper of Jangan

Main-Main explained, “I’ve never sailed in

such choppy water. At times, it was really

intense.” She also revealed that, “This was

my first ever regatta and I loved it.” When

asked if she will join next year’s Singapore

Straits Regatta, she beamed, “Most

definitely!”

Saturday’s final races saw the fleet

participating in events just off Singapore’s

eastern coast. While conditions weren’t as rough as those

off Nongsa Point, there was still plenty of sailing excitement.

At times, winds reached nearly 20 knots and there was a 1.5

meter swell pushed along by the Northeasterly Monsoon. Still,

it was a much “calmer” race and participants were able to put

all their sailing skills to work. “We had a great time off the east

coast,” acknowledged skipper Victoria Koh.

One Fast Boat

The IRC Open Class yacht, Blue Note took top honours at

this year’s regatta. The boat’s Skipper and owner, David

Dimmock, said about the sailing conditions, “Batam was hard

going and very challenging. It was like a washing machine out

there with some very confused seas. But once we got used

to the conditions we were in our element.” Dimmock and his

teammates were also very proud to have

received this year’s Cup. “There are a lot of

great names on that Cup. Names like Ray

Roberts. We feel privileged to be among

the truly greats of competitive sailing.”

Judgment Day

Mr. Selvam, one of the three international

judges who was on hand to help settle

any protests that might come up had

this to say about the race, “Participants

of this year’s regatta may have had a

great time but it was the truly marvelous

“It was like a washing machine

out therewith some veryconfused seas.”

Blue Note’s skipperDavid Dimmock


support provided by the racing committee,

sponsors and organisers that allowed this

race to go on without a hitch.” As for any

protests, the long time sailor and judge

disclosed, “There was only one protest. I

expected that this regatta would not see

any conflicts because all the participants

were here to have fun and enjoy the sport

of sailing. They are all true sportspeople.”

Arthur Tay, Chairman of ONE°15 Marina Club, who presented

this year’s awards, said about the past four days of sailing, “The

Singapore Straits Regatta is all about endurance, teamwork,

fair play, having fun and above all, safety.” Chairman Tay struck

a positive note when he pledged his unwavering support for

the sport of sailing in Singapore by declaring, “ONE°15 Marina

Club shares a similar vision with everyone here in growing the

regatta to include a wider participation locally and regionally

as well as increasing the number of boat entries, participants

and spectators. We are committed to revitalizing the regatta

together with Singapore Sailing Federation and fellow

stakeholders of the SSR.”

Enjoyable Torture

One of the hardest workers at this year’s race must have

been Principal Race Officer Huzaini Ibrahim and his team

from ONE°15 Marina. They worked tirelessly to make this

year’s regatta the success that it was. Huzaini, who also

headed up the Race Secretariat, had this

to say about the regatta, “Everyone had

a good time.” And with a laugh, about the

conditions in Nongsa Point, he said, “I

think it was enjoyable torture. Participants

learned first hand that you can never

underestimate Mother Nature.” Huzaini,

a champion sailor himself sees a bright

future for sailing in Singapore. “We’re

attracting a lot of youth to the sport. This was demonstrated

by the number of university students who participated in this

year’s regatta. It’s only going to grow and get bigger.” Huzaini

also acknowledged this year’s event “demonstrated a high

degree of sportsmanship. “It was truly great.” he said.

Looking to the Future

ONE°15 Marina General Manager, Brian Werner said at the

close of the awards party, “I know that everyone who took part

had a great time and is looking forward to the 21st Singapore

Straits Regatta. He added, “Next year we will be making some

adjustments so we can include more of the bigger boats in the

regatta. The next regatta will be bigger and better than ever.”

About Singapore Straits Regatta

The idea of a yachting regatta of international standing in Singapore waters was mooted in 1994 by a handful of local enthusiasts

to entrench Singapore’s position as a yachting hub in Asia and catalyse the growth of the local keelboat sailing scene. The

annual fixture in the Asian Yachting circuit has since come to be famed for its blend of Singaporean and Indonesian flavour,

being the only regatta that brings the yachts and sailors to clubs on both sides of the Straits. A truly unique regatta that presents

a myriad of sailing conditions and experiences. The Straits Regatta has been constantly evolved over the past 19 years and the

upcoming 20th edition will present itself in a format closer to the roots of the original editions in the early 1990s. A time-tested

formula that has attracted sailors and yachts from all over the world!

In 1995, the inaugural Singapore Straits Regatta was held. A brainchild of pioneers of sailing in Singapore, this event saw Raffles

Marina, Nongsa Point Marina, and Changi Sailing Club coming together with the Singapore Sailing Federation to organise this

landmark event.

The Regatta is organised through a unique organising chair rotation system amongst the Singapore clubs and Nongsa Point

Marina. The coming together of all stakeholders in Singapore sailing clubs through a Memorandum of Understanding signals

the strong camaraderie and collective drive to promote the sport.

About the Perpetual Cup Series

Inaugurated in 1997, the Perpetual Cup Series crowns the top performing yacht in the elite racing class across three key sailing

events in Southeast Asia, namely The Raja Muda International Regatta, Phuket King’s Cup and Singapore Straits Regatta,

and awards the winning team with the prestigious Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy from the treasure trove of historical trophies from

the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club. Over the years, the Series has been awarded to several elite sailors, earning itself a

prestigious reputation throughout the sailing community.

Application of Crew Passes for Boat Crews Please be reminded that

No Wake Speed ZonesRecently, there have been numerous

complaints by various members of boats

speeding within the marina. The wake of the

vessels traveling well above the “No Wake

Speed” limit has resulted in damages to

vessels due to the violent rocking, and in

some instances there have been reports of

crew members falling over the vessels into

the water.

As such, the Club sincerely hopes that

boaters departing and returning to the

marina can adhere to the “No Wake Speed” limit to prevent any serious injury from

occurring or potential damage to the vessels

of other members. If a vessel is found to be

in violation of the “No Wake Speed” limit, the

Club will consider taking disciplinary action

against the boater, in accordance with our

By-Laws & Constitution.

We wish to maintain the safety standards of

the Club premise and thus would like to seek

the cooperation of all boaters and members

so that boats berthed at the Marina can have

the assurance that they will not be damaged

by the acts of other members.

If you have any queries regarding the “No

Wake Speed” limit, please do not hesitate

to contact the Marine Dept at 67689234 or

email to [email protected]
