some sea activities at east coast park

i was at east coast park to enjoy the sea breeze and to watch the actions taking place in the sea. i was near the national sailing centre. i could see that sailing is catching on with the young in singapore. saw at least sixty to eighty sail boats out in the sea, tacking and jibbing along the stretch fronting the east coast park. i was trying to explain to my friend that in sailing, as in driving, there are certain rules to follow.

some people mistakenly think that a sailboat always has the right-of-way over powerboats. a sail boat does have the ROW over a powerboat unless the sailboat is overtaking the powerboat. a sail boat must also keep out of the way of large vessels.

when two boats are at risk of colliding, the boat that has the other on its starboard must keep out of the way.

after watching kitesurfing at cathy's jetty, off car park 6, windsurfing does not appear to be as appealing as before. however, could see that when the sail caught the wind, the windsurfer could go really fast.

i have always liked to relax at east coast park, especially, at places away from the maddening crowd. however, i avoid certain stretches of the east coast park because of the crowd.
