KEEPING BOATING SAFE AND
ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE
Article contributed by YP Loke
As I write this, Singapore is just into Phase Two of the re-opening measures introduced after the easing of our enforced circuit
breaker. Boating activities can resume as part of this phase.
By now, it has been drilled into us to expect a new post-pandemic normal. So, it should come as no surprise that boating post
circuit breaker will come with caveats, as is the case of countries that have resumed boating ahead of us.
In Singapore, the measures that boaters must follow can be distilled into four key areas:
1. Contract Tracing:
Each boat must maintain a register to enable contact tracing if the need arises (for businesses, this can be a SafeEntry
QR Code).
2. Safe Distancing:
Not more than 5 persons on board, excluding employees (captain & crew) hired to operate the boat. Where possible,
practice safe distancing by following the 1 metre apart rule.
3. Personal Hygiene:
Keep hands and surfaces sanitised. When practicable mask up if there are guests (not from the same household)
on board.
4.Boat Alone:
Do not socialise on the marina pontoon or raft up with other boats at sea.
An infographic has been developed to help promote this message. The full text of which are contained in the four links provided
by the QR Codes in the poster. The infographic could be found on page 9.

SPECIAL FEATURE
The Singapore Yacht Show has become the premier boat and yacht show in Asia
Many clubs are reminding members that BCPs (Business Continuity Plans) that are in place may mean that employees may be
divided into teams and are therefore working at half the normal staff strength. This, in addition to health screening measures,
puts a strain on operations. At the same time, members must be patient and allow more time transiting from their club to their
boat. Many marinas also require that boats leaving and returning to the marina call ahead, so that an orderly queue can be
maintained. This will relieve congestion and ensure safe distancing measures are not breached.
Many other countries have reported that boat owners have returned to the water with a vengeance after being closeted at home.
The claustrophobic effect of a forced lockdown has led to a yearning for wide open spaces and a human reconnection with
nature - boating and watersports certainly deliver on both these fronts. It is not clear however how long this pent-up feeling to
embrace the great outdoors will last. But it is a window of opportunity for boating to showcase and promote its healthy outdoor
side.
Once past the immediate post-lockdown surge, the outlook might be less bright, reflecting the sentiments of the weak economy.
We have seen in previous downturns (think Asian Financial Crisis or SARS), that conspicuous consumption was frowned upon.
For example, in Thailand, politicians pandering to the populist vote introduced a boat tax which dealt a crippling blow to boating
businesses in the country. This time, there is the added complication of disrupted supply chains as manufacturers return to
boatbuilding, which may have significant impact on new boat sales worldwide.
Despite many boat shows being cancelled or postponed in the first half of 2020, dealers in many countries including Singapore
are reporting an uptick in sales and inquiries. The Singapore Yacht Show was - among other shows globally – forced by the
pandemic to be postponed (the new dates are 22nd to 25th October 2020)
Boat shows are an important outreach by the industry to prospective buyers and the public. They generate interest and
excitement, keeping boating top-of-mind. They are the industry’s shop window where consumers can feel and touch the
product. Unlike the automobile industry where you can go into a showroom at any time, boats are on display only a few times
a year in this part of the world. Dealers depend on shows to build and update their database of prospects, which they then
develop throughout the year to convert to sales. Having said that, the nature of shows may well change after Covid-19. The need
for safe distancing and the limitation on the size of gatherings may lead to smaller “distributed” shows. Virtual boat showrooms
have also sprung up in the online sphere, accessible globally and often on-demand.
The profile of boaters has also changed with the average age of the boater rising worldwide, as fewer young people take to
boating. One key insight is that millennials are more likely to purchase experiences rather than product. However, boat shows
are slow to seriously embrace the selling of boating experiences. With or without shows, the overall industry needs to strategise
on how best to win over new converts and reverse this trend. Covid-19 may well be a catalyst that accelerates this change.
8 RSYC.ORG.SGSPECIAL FEATURE
With countries in lockdown, crew transfers have become a problem. Over 300,000 seafarers are stuck on ships unable to sign
on or off. It is today not only an operational problem but also a humanitarian concern. Although in boating, the scale is nowhere
near what it is in the commercial and cruise sectors, it poses similar problems. For example, some crew on yachts are similarly
confined, unable to land or sign off; and there are also instances where owners are unable to sign on new crew because of travel
restrictions.
In Asia, owners are less hands-on and more reliant on crew than our western counterparts. The Covid-19 control measures
exacerbate the difficulty in securing crew, a situation which already existed before the circuit breaker due to the application of a
quota on foreigners working as boat crew. Will Covid-19 force a change to this Asian cultural norm with owners becoming more
self-reliant and hands-on in their approach to boating? Time
will tell as habits are hard to change. To keep customers,
industry must play a role in helping boat owners transition
to this new mindset.
The Coronavirus has undeniably affected every strata of
society. It has placed great emphasis on personal health,
resilience and well-being. The impetus for change, be it a
return or a conversion to boating, might perhaps be more
intrinsic as may be suggested by research, both previous
and emerging, on the health benefits of being out with
nature. Many such studies have shown that people who
reside near water fare better than those who stay inland.
Author Wallace J. Nichols expounds in his book “Blue Mind”
– “Simply the mere sight and sound of water promotes
wellness by lowering cortisol, increasing serotonin and
inducing relaxation”.
Around the world, boating associations and communities
are today initiating campaigns promoting the return to the
activity, governed by measures to safeguard the interest
of boaters, service providers and the general public. Every
individual has a role to play in keeping boating safe and
accessible for everyone.

YACHT CLUB
The Wynnum Manly Yacht Club was founded in 1962 by a group of local sailors who decided that there was a need for an ‘all
boat’ club to support racing of various classes of vessels, and the WMYC was formed at its location - Royal Esplanade at Manly,
Brisbane, Australia.
The club’s facilities provide access via Manly Boat Harbor to Moreton Bay in South East Queensland. The WMYC has a dedicated
cruising division which arranges several day, overnight and long weekend trips throughout the year, allowing motor and sail yachts
to cruise in company and explore Moreton Bay and beyond. This proves a great way for new boat owners to pick up advice on
boat handling and for new skippers in the region to find out the best way to navigate and enjoy The Bay. This cruising division links
closely with the annual Inter Club Bay Cruise held in September each year and is the highlight of the cruising calendar for many.
Since 1997 the yacht racing activities of The Club have been conducted by the Wynnum Manly Sailing Club. The WMSC runs
several regattas during the year including The Hart Cup, a Lady Skippers Race mid-year and since 1976, The Saint Helena Cup.
On top of this the Sailing Club also conducts a single or short-handed series of races each year and a social Sunday afternoon race
(SAGS) is held each week. These sailing events are of course, complimented by lively social events hosted by the WMYC.
The Manly Dragon Boat Club chose WMYC as their base in 2006 and since then has become a vibrant part of the club community.
You will see them launching their boats most Saturday mornings, embarking on training exercises that have led to much success
in national and international competitions.
WMYC Members enjoy an active social scene around the
clubhouse, with regular dining and entertainment evenings
arranged during the year, trivia competitions, a great patio and
bbq area and the bar opens to Members, guests and visitors each
Sunday afternoon.

A GOOD SELECTION OF VARIETY IS KEY
Article contributed by Brent Rubbo, General Manager Of Premium Nautical
Four Winns
HD200 Surf
Premium Nautical understand that every boater is different. We all like spending time on the water, but not everyone likes to do
the same thing when out there. Some people are into hard core fishing and want a line in the water every second they can, some
people want to surf the wake behind the boat while sun worshippers bath and soak up some rays, others prefer to park the nose
up at the beach and have a BBQ on the sand, while others want to spend a night or two in a comfy air-conditioned cabin being
rocked to sleep with the faint sound of water sloshing against the hull. No one boat style will suit everyone.
While we will not all agree on what is the perfect way to spend time on the water, everyone does agree they want their boat to be
well designed with high-quality components, build and finish. The better the build quality, the more enjoyment the owner will have
due to less down time or issues, resulting in more confidence in the boat and a more relaxed owner. While a good visual design is
great for street cred (or is that channel cred) the most important part of good boat design is based round the layout and inclusion
of useful features that make using the boat simple and enjoyable to not only use, but also to maintain. Often, it is the smallest of
detail which can go unnoticed that makes the biggest difference.
For Tow Sports and Family Fun – Four Winns are well known for their design and quality. Their Stable-Vee hull is well known for
its great ride and handling. The Horizon and HD ranges of bow riders from 18 to 35 feet all have multiple options of engine choices
including various brands of stern drive or outboard engines. The HD Surf versions have multiple ballast tanks, wake tabs and FWD
Drive to keep the prop well under the boat out of harms way. Four Winns Helms not only look stunning with hand-sewn upholstery,
but are beautifully laid out so all controls are in logical format and easily within reach. Their newest addition, the Vista 355 Coupe
is a beautiful 35 foot cruiser with plenty of airconditioned space for everyone.

amount of cabin space and features. This Norwegian company had so many brilliant little design details built into each model.
Cockpits have a unique curtain rail system which we have not seen on any other brand boat, it can be fully enclosed within one
minute, even when underway as the clears are simply pulled out of their dedicated hanging hiding space. The side decks of the 375
have hidden fender storage which allows fenders to be stored while tied at the correct length, ready to deploy in seconds. Marex
also have a wide range of diesel engine choices and shaft or stern drive options to suit you need.
Another thing to note, while each brand does have good options for factory installed GPS and other electronics, Premium Nautical
can also order boats without these so our clients can locally install their preferred brand.

CHANGING TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE
Article contributed by Clement, Director Of TheBoatShopAsia
Virtual Classes - PPCDL
TheBoatShopAsia (TBSA) has been operating in RSYC since 2013 starting with self-drive yacht charters through to competency
courses and then running of PPCDL courses from 2015 onwards. You would have seen their office if you drive to the parking
space in between the main clubhouse and the dry stack. TBSA’s core business today is PPCDL training and Charters. They are
also involved in distributing and selling boats, seasports equipment and running of events.
When COVID19 struck Singapore in late January 2020, most business owners felt that this would go away after a while. By
early March, when the number of cases climbed to the high hundreds, TBSA felt that they had to consider alternative ways
of conducting PPCDL if the government did shut down businesses in a bid to reduce community infections. For fear of losing
business, they pulled together instructors and resources and started rebuilding course curriculum to fit it into a virtual structure.
They developed eLearning courses on TalentLMS platform and developed a virtual PPCDL course curriculum that promotes
more interaction between students and the instructor during the class. They also invested heavily on technology to allow courses
to be conducted from homes while delivering crystal clear video and audio. For auditability purposes, SOPs was created which
placed human monitors in the course to ensure that students have their cameras turned on and are attending the course
throughout to clock the necessary theory hours required by SMA. In their inaugural dry run of the course on 27th of March 2020,
they had PPCDL instructors as well as SMA officials to provide feedback on how better to improve the virtual course and started
tweaking the curriculum to maximize the effectiveness.
Today, TBSA has an extensive virtual curriculum that has been tried and tested by many, great content which has led to a higher
pass rate, and most important of all, a fantastic team of instructors, who are well equipped with the skills to teach a virtual class
effectively, and be able to elicit the interaction that is needed to keep the course fun and engaging. With over 100 people trained
in the last 2 months, they have a lot of students eager to get into the water and get their hands on a boat for the practical training
once we hit phase 2 post circuit breaker. Going forward, TBSA will be offering both virtual and in-class courses (at RSYC) and
we expect the virtual course to have a higher take up of students.
Going virtual with training has also allowed TBSA to expand beyond the shores of Singapore at a faster pace. In March 2020,
TBSA signed an agreement to develop a self-drive charter business in Penang, Port Dickson and Langkawi with our partner Pen
Marine Sdn Bhd. They developed an all new training curriculum for new boaters called Powered Craft Driving Course (PCDC) to
promote safe and fun boating in Penang. Even with Malaysia’s MCO, they have managed to conduct virtual PCDC courses for
over 50 students to date with more planned in the coming weeks.

COVID19 has forced many businesses to change their business models, their processes, their systems, and the way they view
and serve their clients. Couple of learnings TBSA took away from this:
1. Understand the new normal
– What restrictions will be in place, what does it means to your business, and how can we work within those parameters.
2. Be open to changing your business model
– Clement, the director of TBSA read an article that said that ‘COVID19 has done to the largest companies in the world what
their CEO and CTO couldn’t do for the longest time….. digitization of their businesses’. So be open to change and be open to
consider any possibilities with your business.
3. Embrace technology
– Technology needs to be a friend and not a stumbling block. It will help pivot your business as it had for many others who
embraced early. Today, the world is more receptive of digital engagements than before so we need to leverage that.
COVID19 has significantly changed their business. While it has impacted a large part of business, TBSA managed to survive by
accelerating other parts of their business and aggressively growing into new markets. It had been a tough journey for TBSA, but
they manage to rough it out and hopefully, with new acquired skills, assets and technologies, they can take advantage of the
recovery to accelerate their growth.

BOAT SALE TRENDS AMID COVID-19
Article contributed by Dione Schick, Co-Founder of BASCO boating
Welcome to the BASCO Briefing for Boat Owners. Keeping you informed of boat market trends and developments from Singapore
and Asia in these interesting times. The last four weeks has seen a lot of enquiry and a number of people booking viewings when
the lockdown lifts.
We are encouraged to see the rise of buying-without-viewing which is something BASCO Boating is committed to achieving for
buyers and sellers where appropriate. We do this with our BOBBAS platform, and we have personally transacted numerous online
boat deals over the last 3-years without the buyers seeing the boat. Two examples are boats sold to Australian buyers, sight
unseen. Both sales were in the USD400–700 price range and excellent quality boats.
This trend will only increase, and Covid-19 has now made this purchasing trend more visible. The possibility is more real in boat
owner’s minds compared to pre-Covid-19 when many boat owners may have said they believed this could never happen.
Market Outlook
It was reported in several media outlets that boat brokers haven’t slowed down. We certainly can vouch for this as well. There was
a lot of sales activity with boats changing hands in March and early April before the lockdown. What we’ve noticed is boat buyers
(and those who we call boat deciders and boat searchers) have had more time to browse online and to reflect on their boating
dreams and goals. They’ve simply had more space to explore these ‘pushed to one-side dreams’ and buyers are making enquiries
and putting in place steps to explore the boating lifestyle in earnest.
News headlines indicate boat sales are booming amid the pandemic. Just look at these headlines from News8 and Newsbreak
“Boat sales booming as other industries struggle to stay afloat amid pandemic shutdowns”
“Boat dealers, marina managers’ report business is booming during coronavirus shutdown”
In Asia, boat sales have been strong and we are expecting a strong surge in demand in June, July, and August as the lockdown
eases. There is pent-up demand from the desire to get away from it all, and what better way than boating, even among social
distancing requirements.
Our boat “decider “coaching services and our boat buyer sourcing services have experienced an uptick in the last two months. It
is perfect timing for boat buyers to get prepared, do their research, get their goals and objectives lined up so they are ready to hit
the ground running when the time to travel and view is upon us. Additionally, there may be good deals during the next 6–9 months,
so boat buyers, searchers and deciders are definitely wondering about this opportunity as well.

Here’s what Blake Phillips, general manager at MarineMax had to say which sums it up quite nicely.
“I think coronavirus amplifies your appreciation for a great day,” he said. “Because every day on a boat is a great day, people are
connecting the dots.” Well said.
And finally, not sure how to get a trouble-free, faster boat sale at the highest price?
No problem! Answer these questions:
1. Do you qualify as a successful boat marketing and online boat salesperson? (If no, go to #2)
2. Are you willing and able to spend 100 hours researching buyers and markets for your boat, posting across all the 50+
platforms, to generate 4 offers? (If no, go to #3)
3. Are you able to waste months and months in trial and error trying to use traditional boat sale methods, only to have to drop
your price in a year’s time? (If no, go to #4)
4. Shortcut the process with a result-guaranteed boat sales program and project
managers who get results.

SURVIVING COVID19 -
THE BIG BROTHER BIG SISTER WAY!
Article contributed by Uncle Jevan and Aunty June of Metazone
We entered the Covid19 Circuit Breaker in April and have only just emerged into Phase 1 of opening up, just last week, in June.
No sailing, no meetups, no going out, everyone minimizing human contact to snuff out the virus, and to keep our communities safe
from contracting the virus.
While everyone is struggling to adapt to Home Based Learning and Working From Home, Metazone’s Big Brother Big Sister group
had no choice, but to postpone our 2020 physical programs.
Instead, we started our Saturday Online Series to reach out to our sailors and the greater community. Our first online gathering was
on Easter weekend. Auntie Xenia started the ball rolling and taught us how to make Easter eggs, and shared with us how Eastern
Europeans celebrated Easter. She also shared with us the stories and traditions on why we paint Easter Eggs and what it signifies.
In subsequent weeks, she continued on to show us how to upcycle old t shirts to make nonmedical face masks.
Aunty Xenia, who was borne into a German family, taught us how to make decorative Ketupats. During her class, we were very
fortunate to have Muslims from all over the world share with us what their families are doing to celebrate Ramadan amidst this global
COVID lockdown. We have friends from Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran, Germany and Kazakstan share with us the special
traditions they did to make Ramadan so special to their families.
On Hari Raya weekend, we have Aunty Sarah from Iran share with us how to make Iranian Lanterns. These lanterns were made
without the flame, and are used as decorations in some parts of the Middle East during Ramadan. Although we had to physically
distance ourselves during this time, the opportunity to gather online to do something together as a family, and a global community to
celebrate festivals together makes our COVID experience memorable.
Our traditional BBBS yearly induction, Sailing and Sustainability program became an online TFortress Challenge in May.
Here, over 80 secondary school participants, Big Bro Big Sis’s (BBBS) and teachers delved deeper and learnt more about sustainability
and our values. During the brought forward May holidays, we played Virtual Challenge, revolving around our Sustainability values
and concepts, to gain game points. The winners of the Virtual Challenge got to faceoff their school teachers in a multiplayer online
game called Mobile Legends. Our teachers held up for a while. But were relentlessly destroyed by the much more experienced, and
tactical Secondary Two students. Although not having met physically during this time; BBBS, teachers and students both learnt
more about each other, and had great fun together playing online games.
Most recently, we introduced a series of online Sailing classes with Uncle Greg. This Series teaches new sailors some basic sailing
knowledge using a multiplayer sailing simulator, VR Regatta – inshore. The course covers topics such as parts of the boat, point
of sail, upwind, downwind sailing and racing rules & tactics. Uncle Greg and Uncle Pei Ming even constructed a homemade wind
machine to show us how airflow, flows over the sails to create lift.
28 RSYC.ORG.SGSEASPORTS
Each Saturday, after the sailing tutorials, we run online regattas with sailors from the Japan Sailing Federation. Sailors and para-
sailors from Japan race with an international team of sailors in Singapore. Some of us, are only online sailors, ready to learn the real
thing when the coast is clear. Some of us have more experience, guiding and sharing tips with the rest of us.
Our small group of 30 to 40 have now grown close to a thousand online on various platforms last Saturday. With regular participants
not only from Singapore, but from Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Japan, Thailand, Russia, UK, Middle East, India, New Zealand,
Australia, and counting.
As we strive to keep our communities together during the Circuit Breaker, we became a community bound not by fear or lockdown
circumstances, but with everyone looking forward being together to learn on Saturday meetups to say hello to old and new friends.
We are looking forward to the day we can again go back to RSYC to sail. And, for our new friends made during this time to introduce
them to our home club RSYC.
We welcome you all to come join us every Saturday 2pm, live on Facebook or ZOOM. Let’s make some new friends and learn how
to sail.
When we are allowed to meet again, come join us at Republic of Singapore Yacht Club (RSYC)!
