Third ASAF Youth Sailing Cup Kicks Off in Singapore

Day 1 of Singapore's Fish & Co Youth National Championships and the third event of the ASAF Youth Sailing Cup 2014 – 15 kicked off on Wednesday 18 March 2015.

Brightest sailing talents from Singapore and 10 other countries such as Australia, Finland, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines and Thailand are bringing the best of their gameplay to Singapore’s waters for this year’s high­‐stakes competition.

This four­‐day sailing meet, running from 18 – 21 March 2015, will see the region’s top youth sailors vying for top spots in the highly­‐anticipated competition. For Singaporean youths, the annual championships serves as a qualifying platform for the 28th SEA Games in Singapore this year, and the ISAF Youth Sailing World Championships 2015 to be held in Langkawi, Malaysia, in December.

'We’re thrilled to have Fish & Co. return as the title sponsor for the Youth Sailing Championships for the third year running. It is heartening to see corporate organisations like Fish & Co. so committed to nurturing young sailors and we believe that this year’s championships will truly shine simply because of the quality of the youth sailors coming from all over the world to compete and also build friendships for the future,' says Mr. Tan Wearn Haw, Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore Sailing Federation.

Guest­‐of­‐honour Mr. Ng Ser Miang, International Olympic Committee member and Singapore Sailing Federation patron, will grace the finals and awards presentation ceremony of the Championships.

A public carnival will also be held on Finals day to celebrate the coming together of the young sailors from all over the world and their supporters, and as a fun complement to the energy and exuberance of the entire event.
