A little Shout Out from Singapore

[Psyiche]

Hi all,
Greetings from Singapore! Fairwinds to all the sailors and sailorettes in this forum!

I came across whis neat forum while reseaching on boat ownership and the feasibility of living on one.

About myself:
I picked up sailing about 17 years ago when i entered college: ACJC. I was the second batch of sailors to graduate. Since then, i tried to keep up the interest in sailing by joining the uni sailing club NTUYC when pursuing my uni.
I picked up a power boat driving license, and eventually signed up for a race management course, which led me to volunteer for the inaugurral youth olympics when Singapore hosted. I have been volunteering at the National Sailing Centre since. While yachting is expensive in Singapore, I have not given up on sailing or on owning my own boat one day.
cheers!

Good for you There are always people at Changi Sailing Club looking for crew... I'd ask myself, but my boat isn't quite floating yet... That's a long story

There's a boat called "Jill" at Changi sailing club... It's the right colour to be a crabber, but I'm not sure...

They have a factory over in Batam that builds boats... They've made stuff from plans before.

No affiliation, other than that they're re-doing my boat at Changi at the moment.

Hi All,
Been out of action for awhile...
Check this link : Tattoo Yachts
Any of you seen these around? I saw their web page, they had a dealership in Malaysia. I had emailed the guy, but no reply.
Looks like an improved Macgregor 26m.
Cheers
