Changi Sailing Club (Abbreviation: CSC; Chinese: 樟宜帆船俱乐部) is a sailing club located in Changi, in the North-East of Singapore. It regularly organises and holds competitions for both dinghies as well as keelboats. Started in 1936, the club has had a rich history and is known for having produced notable sailors such as Benedict Tan ...
The boardwalk is located at Changi Point, the easternmost part of Singapore. The boardwalk faces north-northwest to northeast for much of its length. It connects Changi Beach Club in the western end to the Changi Sailing Club at its midpoint and the Changi Point Ferry Terminal in the eastern end.
The points of sail: A. Into the wind; shaded: "no-go zone" where a craft may be "in irons". B. Close-hauled (used when beating to windward) between B and C. Close reach C. Beam reach D. Broad reach E. Running downwind . A point of sail is a sailing craft's direction of travel under sail in relation to the true wind direction over the surface.
Sailing employs the wind—acting on sails, wingsails or kites —to propel a craft on the surface of the water (sailing ship, sailboat, raft, windsurfer, or kitesurfer), on ice (iceboat) or on land (land yacht) over a chosen course, which is often part of a larger plan of navigation. From prehistory until the second half of the 19th century ...

The Singapore Strait, as seen from Marina Bay Sands. The Singapore Strait is a 113 km-long (70 mi), 19 km-wide (12 mi) [2] strait between the Strait of Malacca in the west and the South China Sea in the east. Singapore is on the north of the channel, and the Indonesian Riau Islands are on the south. The two countries share a maritime border ...
High-performance sailing is achieved with low forward surface resistance—encountered by catamarans, sailing hydrofoils, iceboats or land sailing craft—as the sailing craft obtains motive power with its sails or aerofoils at speeds that are often faster than the wind on both upwind and downwind points of sail. Faster-than-the-wind sailing ...
At a stable angle of heel (for a sailboat) and a steady speed, aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces are in balance. Integrated over the sailing craft, the total aerodynamic force (FT) is located at the centre of effort (CE), which is a function of the design and adjustment of the sails on a sailing craft.
