A Uniquely Singapore birthday – Uniquely Singapore skipper Mark Preedy celebrates his 36th
birthday on arrival into Keppel Bay
international yachts and
boaters to visit Singapore,”
said Mr Lim Chee Onn,
Executive Chairman of
Keppel Corporation.
On the Singapore stop-over,
Sir Robin Knox-Johnston,
Founder of Clipper Ventures
said, “Singapore has been a
significant stop in all six
Clipper Races and we are
delighted that once again
there is a boat proudly
carrying the name of
Singapore around the major
ports of the world. The race
has proved an excellent way
to illustrate the maritime and
commercial strengths of this
vibrant country.”
WHIPPING UP A STORM
In conjunction with the
arrival of the Clipper 07-08
Round the World Yacht Race
fleet in Singapore, three top
Scottish chefs representing
Australia, Scotland and
Singapore took part in
an inter-boat cook-off
competition aboard the
westernaustralia2011.com;
Glasgow: Scotland with Style
and Uniquely Singapore
berthed at Marina at Keppel
Bay.
Michelin-starred Martin
Wishart along with two
other award-winning chefs,
Raymond Capaldi of Fenix,
Melbourne and Joseph
Martin, Pan Pacific
Singapore, pitted their
culinary skills in the galley of
the respective Clipper yachts
before a distinguished panel
of connoisseurs and the
media.
The rules were simple – the
food had to have taste, style,
be innovative and reflect the
personality of the three
nations in which they work
and be suitable for crews to
cook at sea.
Special guest Sir Robin Knox-
Johnston, founder of Clipper
Ventures, also joined in the
culinary escapade, whipping
up his infamous ‘bully beef
curry’.
Blending rich heritage with
current culinary trends and
ingredients, the event left
everyone with a unique
and memorable dining
experience.
