Singapore: Republic of Singapore Yacht Club, 2010
ISBN: 9789814266635
The story of yachting in Singapore is as long as that of the country's modern history and is intertwined with that of Singapore's founders, governors, administrators and businessmen.
The Republic of Singapore Yacht Club and its members have been involved in every aspect of the development and administration of sea sports, from the Olympic Games in Rome, the formation of SingaporeSailing, to the international Singapore Staits Regatta.
Three Burgees is a lavishly illustrated book with extracts from Singapore's first newspaper, yacht racing engravings from the 1860s and sepia-toned photographs of the 1920s, to the colours and contrasts of the yachts of today.
