Singapore Sailing Federation
The Singapore Sailing Federation (SSF) is the National Sports Association responsible for managing and organising the sport of sailing in Singapore. Established in 1966, the SSF's mission encompasses both competitive excellence and broad community engagement. This strategic approach aims to foster a vibrant sailing community and reinforce Singapore's standing as a hub for both competitive sailing and water sports.
Sailing is Singapore’s top-performing sport at the Asian Games level. Of the 42 gold medals that Team Singapore have won to date at the Asian Games, Sailing has won 14 (33%). At the 2023 Asian Games, Sailing accounted for two-thirds of the gold medals and seven out of 13 (54%) medals won by Team Singapore.
At the Olympic level, Sailing has consistently demonstrated the ability to qualify and improve performance. There have been 35 Singaporean Olympians to date, the joint-highest number of Olympians from one sport.
To nurture new sailors, the ActiveSailing department has various programmes to develop junior and youth sailors. These programmes are open to the general public.
The Performance Pathways department focuses on developing junior, youth and senior national sailors. Our best sailors represent the nation at the Southeast Asian Games, Asian Games, Olympic Games, and at major continental and world championships.
To achieve high-performance outcomes, Singapore Sailing works closely with the High Performance Sport Institute, the Singapore National Olympic Council, and World Sailing (the international governing body).
Singapore Sailing organises key annual events, including the Singapore Youth Sailing Championship and the Singapore National Sailing Championship, which attract both local and international participants. Singapore Sailing also recently hosted the 2024 World Sailing Annual Conference and the 2025 SB20 World Championships.
Singapore Sailing also offers free public sailing at Marina Bay, making sailing accessible to urban dwellers and activating the city's water spaces for recreational use.
