We
established Lighthouse Training & Consultancies in 2002 to
provide a range of training in sailing, from competent crew to
advanced coastal sailing. Noticing the dearth of reliable
information on sailing-related matters, we also compiled
information and data to share with both local and visiting
sailors.
In
this website, you’ll find information organized around the following
themes:
*
Weather and tides (local and regional)
* Directory of shops to get your boating supplies at reasonable
prices. You may find this useful, particularly when materials
for repair or upgrade are not often found in the usual
shopping districts.
* Booklist for pilot books for the region (and where to get
them)
* Tips on some nice anchorages and some tricky approaches in the
region, waypoints included.
* Links to government agencies, which you are likely to
encounter for port clearance, immigration procedures and other
vital information.
Having owned 6 boats over the last 30 years, and bought a new
Catalina recently, we are also sharing our experience on
the selection of this sailing boat, and tips on boat maintenance and
repair. If you want advice in these or want to have an
independent opinion, feel free to contact us.
Whether you are a rookie or experienced sailor, we are able to
provide personalized (advanced) sailing courses and coastal navigation courses.
If you would like to enjoy sailing your boat in Tioman, Langkawi
or Phuket but do not have the time to bring her there, we can
deliver her to the destination so that you could have maximum
time to enjoy the beautiful waters in these regions.
