2012-09-20: Asia Pacific Student Cup Marina Sailing

The Exciting Asia Pacific Student Cup 2012 Will Kick Off at the Iconic Marina Bay. Co-hosted with Singapore Management University, this international event, which will officially be held from the 19th to 22nd September, will see both budding and veteran sailors from all over the region competing in this highly anticipated match racing regatta that is set to be nothing short of exciting.

The Asia Pacific Student Cup builds on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between Singapore Management University (SMU) – the current chair of the Singapore Universities Sports Council - and Singapore Sailing Federation (SSF) in March 2012, to promote keelboat sailing and sailing-related initiatives among tertiary-level youth in Singapore. This exclusive partnership enables SMU and SSF to jointly organise 'Sailing in the City' programmes for students and members of the public.

The only Southeast Asian University to have a keelboat sailing programme, SMU is a valued partner to SSF in bringing sailing into the City, with the Asia Pacific Student Cup being the first competitive sailing event held in Marina Bay.
