CSC is not a bad place to sail. In the NE Monsoon season (December - March) wind peaks at about 24knots but because Singapore is protected on all sides by Malaysia and Indonesia - we have flat water! Water temp is 24 degrees year-round and the beer is 10 degrees!
If you visit
http://www.csc.org.sg/water/race.htm over the next day or so, you'll see photos/video clips of the weekends race when the plywood cats took line honours.
