Started the day at Changi Sailing Club where we did passage planning to Tioman and practiced swing mooring on the boat. Finally cleared customs at Frontier buoy and practiced man overboard using sail instead of power. Finally headed to Tioman at about 5pm. Headed over the TSS to batam side then to Horsburgh light house before heading north.

Sailed through the night and only reached the next day afternoon at 2pm.

Breakfast thanks to crew mates!

HKDay1357: Coastal Skipper day 2!

Survived day 1 and day 2 was travelling from Keppel Marina to Changi Sailing Club via Ubin and Tekong. Also practiced alongside with the technique to use bowspringto hold the boat while in forward tick so that the stern will propel outwards and we switch to neutral with a burst of reverse before reversing.

Breakfast by RZ!

Pasta Lunch! Yummy!

Heading out of Keppel!

Sailing!

Our sailing track!

HKDay1356: Coastal Skipper Day1/7

Starting the coastal skipper today. Reached the marina early.

Did a tight manoeuvre practice to do a turn in tight space (e.g marina) trick is to hard to port/starboard as boat is moving forward then switch to reverse gear, boat will slow and also turn at the same time. When boat is coming to a stop do a forward burst of 2-3 secs before switching to neutral then reverse again then boat will continue turning on the spot. Quite a neat trick!

Also practiced reversing boat into markings in transit (forms a line to show you are inline with the items in transit) and tacks and gybes.

At the marina! Wonder if we will sail Venture or Endeavour…

Welcome goodie bag! A cap, polo shirt and a waterproof bag.

Lunch with the group!

Sailing!
