Sail Indonesia 2010 departed from Darwin on Saturday July 24 at 11 am and during the following three months the rally yachts have been invited to participate in a series of Events and Cultural Festivals at the different stopovers across Indonesia on the islands of Timor, Banda, Ambon, Buton, Lembata, Wakatobi, Flores, Sulawesi, Bali, Java, Borneo, Belitung and finally on to Batam or Bintan just south of Singapore. |
As in past years the Local Administration at each of these Indonesian islands has planned a number of events at the time of your visit which include a ceremonial welcome and dinner as well as cultural and arts displays and also dance performances. You will be able so see some of the more remote and less developed parts of Indonesia as you cross the country often away from the well worn tourist areas. |
At each of these stopovers you will be able to experience different peoples and their cultures, different lifestyles, different arts, different crafts, wonderful foods and of course different languages. You do not have to participate in all the events and the stopovers on our rally, after you enter Indonesia if you wish you can make your own way across Indonesia and just join the events that suit your schedule. |
Singapore is a wonderful stopover, ideal for all services, transfers and a break after your long voyage across Indonesia. Singapore is home to Raffles Marina, the Aseanarean’s 1st 5 Gold Anchor and only Bluewater Marina. Raffles Marina won the prestigious Asia Pacific Boating Magazine’s Christofle Asia Boating Awards 2007, as “Best Asian Marina”.
Every year, Raffles sends representatives from Singapore to Darwin, Bali and Batam, to brief yachters and give presentations regarding their marina and the procedures and regulations for your arrival in Singapore. Raffles representatives will again be at the Rally Technical Briefing in Darwin to answer any questions you may have.
Raffles Marina is working in partnership with Sail Indonesia and is the exclusive official marina stopover in Singapore and venue for the Sail Indonesia Farewell Party before you leave for Malaysia. |
