Singapore Straits Regatta - Welcome to Singapore - a jewel of Asia. This stunning cosmopolitan city, with impressive high rise buildings, flourishes in the Far East as one of the world’s top financial centers. Whether day or night, multicultural Singapore throbs with the pulse of a fast modern life style. The architectural gem of Marina Bay Sands is a resort which proves the modern history of this well developed country.
Singapore is the right place to be, as it effortlessly combines the business heart of the city, with tropical and iconic places such as Sentosa Island, located on the Southern part of the peninsula. Beautiful beaches, an amazing landscape, coconut trees and clear skies - perfectly set the scene for relaxation, fun and adventure.
For the participants of the 21st Singapore Straits Regatta, the attraction of competing here is easy to see - superb racing in a warm and stunning location.
This is the only event held on both sides of the Straits – in Indonesia and Singapore. The offshore fleet race from NongSa Point Marina on Batam Island, and One 15 Degree Marina at Sentosa Island hosts the SB20 fleet.
The Singapore Straits Regatta has evolved over the years and plays an important role in the development of sailing in the region – and is a hotbed of Asia’s finest sailing talent. Last year, there was incredibly tight competition throughout the SB20 fleet, with close battles and numerous leader-board shuffles. The offshore competitors enjoyed the unique sea conditions leftover from the Monsoon winds.
Action from the 21st edition is about to begin! Don’t miss it.
