SAILING
The Philippines have been a popular cruising destination
for many years. Day-sailing through the archipelago is undoubtedly the best way to visit this vast area and one can find a
good anchorage every night. This also avoids the danger of running into one of the many unlit fishing boats, as well as their
nets or traps. Cebu and the surrounding islands have some of
the most attractive anchorages and places such as Romblon and Puerto Galera should not be missed.
The Philippines have a lot to offer the cruising sailor and in spite of such inherent
difficulties, it remains a country well worth visiting. There are small boatyards in various islands and the
Filipinos are skilled workers, particularly in wood. Teak is still widely available, but while its price is steadily increasing,
its quality is deteriorating.
General repair facilities, such as engine or electrical repair, are also available
in most centres, the widest range being concentrated in and around Manila. Most marine supplies have to be imported, but local nautical charts
are available both in Manila and Cebu.
The Philippine Hobie Challenge.
The Philippine Hobie Challenge is our country's premier international extreme sailing event. Taking Challengers on
a different breathtaking island-hopping route each year, this event pushes the sport of hobie cat racing to a new level. It's
a week-long backpacking adventure with sailors battling the elements through the day and camping on beautiful tropical islands
at night.
