Peninsular Sailing Club Selangor are delighted to announce the dates and
venue of the Squib National Championship to be held on 27/28 /29 th May
2022
PSC founded in 2016 as a sailing club and based at the Pulau Indah marina
began purchasing these safe and responsive 19 ft keelboats in 2016 when
Commodore Jeremy Camps persuaded some contacts in UK to sell us the boats
at very reasonable prices, they arrive 2 to a 40 ft container on road trailers
with all gear spinnakers etc , they are mainly racing boats in the UK but we
recognised here they were truly multipurpose training/learning , they are sit in
rather than sit on hence completely save , here they are sailed with outboard
engines for safe berthing although for the championships they will be towed
out
PSC a recognised Squib fleet now has 14 boats , sailed every Sunday through
out the year by PSC s 45 members many came as beginners and are now
highly competent and winning racers
For the Championship PSC have fortunate to secure the support of Simon
James from Phuket as Race Officer ie racing organiser , Simon is the most
competent and respected Race Officer in Asia handling the Royal Langkawi
International Regatta as well as other major regattas like Phuket Race Week
His presence will ensure good and fair racing for all competitors
Pulau Indahs clean water and the rivers width will ensure that the short racing
program can take place in front of the club house providing spectators with an
excellent view whilst the Long distance Races will go out into the open water
Melaka Straits
In order to ensure as wide a representation as possible PSC will be inviting a
ladies team and hopefully some of the younger sailors from around the
country to compete in keelboats
