It seems the best time to catch up with old sea friends is during the Boat show in Singapore. They always show up. Although most are not looking for another boat, the atmosphere is delightful. I wonder if the pleasure boating market in Singapore will ever be as intense as in Australia & New Zealand. We certainly have kinder weather conditions & reasonable crusing grounds when you add in West Malaysia & Riau. I am of the opinion that a passage maker with a 2,000nm range is the idea boat for this region. Otherwise stay with the smaller more economical weekend boats and you should not have too much trouble having fun on the water. In Singapore, even a sea kayak can prove to be lots of fun & adventure, given the right attitude.
