Dear Members and Friends

In the last 30 years Raffles Marina has stood, my predecessors led with gusto and an unwavering determination to be what its founders envisioned it to be and more. Founding President Ang Kong Hua handed the reigns to Francis Lee who led Raffles Marina through 23 years of service to its memebrs before handing the role to my predecessor, Peter Lim in 2017.

Peter set his sights on surging the Club forward, leading with values set in stone. We were the nation's first bluewater marina, but he was not willing to let our achievements stop there. The sea sports scene blossomed with Raffles Marina being the home of the nation's biggest SB20 fleet, and our fishing community grows steadily in number till today. There are big shoes to fill in this role, as he handed the helm over to me in January 2023.

For me personally, my involvement with Raffles Marina has come full circle. I know many of you from my days as the general manager when the Club first opened its doors. When I joined Raffles Marina in 1991, we were just a handful of employees, and construction had only just started. When I stepped down from the GM role in 1998 to embark on new challenges within the recreational marine business, I continued to be involved with the Club as Secretary on the General Committee, and later as Vice-President. My on-going relationship with the Club is one that I value and cherish. Raffles Marina has never been a job to me — having been intimately involved with its development from pre-opening, I feel a deep connection and fondness for the Club.

Join us on our voyage as we navigate the vast seas together to build a community alive with vigour and camaraderie that reflects a vibrant membership.

Here's wishing you and your family happiness, health, peace and abundance.

Sincerely
Y P Loke
President
