Moving On ……
In February 1996, SAFYC, previously constituted under
the General Orders of MINDEF, became a legal entity
registered with the Registrar of Societies.
The Club’s early sea going assets amounted to a few
wooden YWGP14s, Ospreys, Fibrites, a 26-ft keeled sloop,
a few snipes and two Thunderbolts (locally designed
22-ft, 3-crew boat). Today, the club proudly owns a fleet
of more than 270 crafts. These include Optimists, Bytes,
Toppers, Lasers, Lasers IIs, Laser Pico, International 420s,
470s, Larks, Hobbie Cats and Nacras, kayaks, keel boats, jet
skis and power boats.

The New Era……
In 1995, MINDEF approved the recommendation of
RECORD II that SAFYC develop further facilities
with two club houses for NS men and their families
to recognize their contributions and efforts in Total
Defence.
The new Sembawang Clubhouse with new
facilities and a much bigger fleet of sail crafts was
officially opened on 10 January 1999 by Deputy
Prime Minister & Minister for Defence, Dr Tony Tan
Keng Yam. On 1 April 2003, the Club also took over
the management of NSRCC Sea Sports Centre. The
new Changi Clubhouse was completed in 2004 and
officially opened by the Minister for Defence, Mr Teo
Chee Hean on 28 May 2005.

Looking Ahead….
Like a relentless ship that dares the seven seas, the
club has come a long way. Through the years the
Club has resided in numerous humble dwellings, and
it has grown from strength to strength. Now, as
SAFYC sets sail for the next voyage, we can look
forward to more fabulous activities, an ever growing
family spirit, and tradition par excellence for the
seaward bound.
