It's a boat that has a rich history dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries when it was widely used as a naval vessel and for coastal trading. - Basco Boating News - Written by BASCO Team < Back Share What is a Brigantine Boat? BASCO Team Apr 27, 2023 It's a boat that has a rich history dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries when it was widely used as a naval vessel and for coastal trading. Do you know that a Brigantine boat is more than just a two-masted sailing vessel? It's a boat that has a rich history dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries when it was widely used as a naval vessel and for coastal trading. The term originated with the two-masted ships, also powered by oars, on which pirates, or sea brigands, terrorized the Mediterranean in the 16th century. The unique design of the Brigantine, with the aft mast being square-rigged and the forward mast being fore-and-aft rigged, allows for a perfect balance of speed and maneuverability. This made it a favorite among seafarers of the past. In northern European waters the brigantine became purely a sailing ship. Its gaff-rigged mainsail distinguished it from the completely square-rigged brig, though the two terms came to be used interchangeably. For example, brigantines with square topsails above the gaffed mainsail were called true brigantines, whereas those with no square sails at all on the mainmast were called hermaphrodite brigs or brig-schooners. Let's go back in time. The 13th century was a time of war and exploration. Sailors were seeking new lands, and they sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. So, they made Brigantine, a lateen-rigged on two masts and had between eight and twelve oars on each side. It was very fast and easy to control, that's why it was a popular choice among pirates in the Mediterranean Sea. Its name is derived from the Italian word Brigantino, which in turn is derived from Brigante or brigand. Then, by the 17th century, the term was adopted by Atlantic maritime nations. The vessel had no lateen sails, but was instead square-rigged on the foremast and had a gaff-rigged mainsail with a square rig above it on the mainmast. The mainmast of a brigantine is the aft one. In the 18th century, the word had evolved to refer not to a kind of vessel, but rather to a particular type of rigging: two-masted, with her foremast fully square-rigged and her mainmast rigged with both a fore-and-aft mainsail (a gaff sail) and square topsails and possibly topgallant sails. The brigantine could be of various sizes, ranging from 30 to 150 tons. The brigantine was generally larger than a sloop or schooner, but smaller than a brig. The last sailing true brigantine in this world is the Eye of the Wind. In modern American terminology, the term brigantine now usually means a vessel with the foremast square-rigged and the main most fore-and-aft rigged, without any square sails. ----- Are you ready to unlock the full potential of boating and experience the freedom and fun that comes with it? As a first-time or expat boater, the process of navigating the waters can be overwhelming and frustrating.

Successful Viewing Ends in Verbal Offer - Basco Boating News - Written by William Schick < Back Share Pending Contract: 2017 Megaway 45' Power Catamaran for Sale William Schick Apr 11, 2022 Successful Viewing Ends in Verbal Offer The marketing of the 2017 Megaway 45' Power Catamaran for Sale in Singapore has started on a strong note with the first viewing ending with a offer indication. BASCO's first time aboard the vessel this afternoon, the boat surprised with its high volume and clean lines. Being only 5 years old and only lightly used during these 5 years mean't that the boat presented very stylishly, clean, tidy and ready to go into it's next life. A perfect charter vessel or liveaboard, the 4 roomy double cabins and the two bathrooms along with the huge flybridge for dining, partying and simply hanging out in the sea breeze makes the boat a winner for the price. An astute charter operator will snap this one up fast and recoup their entire investment in a short period of time. We're excited to be involved with this one and over the next day or two expect to bring the written offer to the owners. Media Gallery ← Previous Next →

This launch marks a key upgrade in Singapore’s maritime emergency response, as the Blue Dolphin becomes the SCDF’s primary vessel for major sea-based operations, ranging from fires and rescues to chemical, biological, and radiological emergencies. The vessel will be based at the West Coast Marine Fire Station. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share SCDF Launches Blue Dolphin to Strengthen Emergency Response at Sea Aziza | BASCO Team Jun 26, 2025 This launch marks a key upgrade in Singapore’s maritime emergency response, as the Blue Dolphin becomes the SCDF’s primary vessel for major sea-based operations, ranging from fires and rescues to chemical, biological, and radiological emergencies. The vessel will be based at the West Coast Marine Fire Station. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) has added a new rescue boat called the Blue Dolphin to its fleet. It is a second-generation vessel built to handle serious emergencies at sea in Singapore. This launch marks a key upgrade in Singapore’s maritime emergency response, as the Blue Dolphin becomes the SCDF’s primary vessel for major sea-based operations, ranging from fires and rescues to chemical, biological, and radiological emergencies. The vessel will be based at the West Coast Marine Fire Station. Slightly larger than its predecessor, the Red Dolphin (launched in 2019), the Blue Dolphin is about 3 metres longer and boasts a top speed of 30 knots (56 km/h). It's equipped with three powerful fire monitors capable of discharging up to 4,800 cubic metres of water per hour, nearly equivalent to two Olympic swimming pools. The vessel can carry four navigational crew members and 10 marine specialists, ensuring it’s always ready to respond effectively to high-stakes emergencies. Developed in collaboration with Penguin Shipyard International, Home Team Science and Technology Agency, and Defence Science and Technology Agency, the Blue Dolphin is packed with cutting-edge technology. One of the standout features is the integrated command post, which gathers real-time data from onboard cameras, sensors, and logs to support faster and more accurate decision-making. The vessel also includes an advanced chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) detection system. Using infrared sensors, it can identify a wide range of hazardous substances, including chemical warfare agents and industrial toxins from distances of up to 5km. To improve operations in hazardous environments, the vessel supports virtual anchoring, which allows for precise positioning and reduces operator fatigue. It also features search-and-rescue enhancements, such as a rigid hull inflatable boat with its own fire fighting system, ideal for navigating shallow coastal waters. With increased interior space, the Blue Dolphin provides better-equipped PPE and rescue rooms, improving workflow during critical missions. The additional space also allows for heli-winch capabilities, supporting aerial evacuations. In keeping with global efforts toward greener operations, the Blue Dolphin includes an integrated solar charging system and biofuel-compatible engines, making it a more environmentally responsible choice for maritime rescue missions. At the official launch, held at the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club, Minister Edwin Tong emphasized the importance of enhancing maritime safety. With the cruise industry growing and Singapore’s Tuas Mega Port becoming one of the world’s largest by 2040, the waters around Singapore are expected to get significantly busier. “Larger vessels and more passengers mean increased responsibilities for emergency services,” he said. He also highlighted the maritime industry's shift toward alternative fuels like LNG, ammonia, and methanol, which introduce new types of operational risk. Looking to the future, SCDF plans to grow the fleet to ten vessels by 2030, with the Blue Dolphin being the first of four new vessels currently in development. A new Marine Division HQ at Brani is also expected to be operational by early 2026, and a Marine Fire Post will be built at Punggol’s Northshore Crescent by 2028. Media Gallery ← Previous Next →

A bow rider is a popular type of recreational boat that's perfect for cruising, fishing, and water sports. - Basco Boating News - Written by BASCO Team < Back Share Do you know about the BowRider? BASCO Team Jun 8, 2023 A bow rider is a popular type of recreational boat that's perfect for cruising, fishing, and water sports. There are different types of boats in the market, and one commonly noticed type is the Bowrider. “Bowrider” describes the watercraft’s basic design, which is typically highlighted by a deep V-shaped hull. These are defined by open front seats rather than a cabin. These boats are designed for ease of use and comfort—but don't let that fool you into thinking they're not powerful! Bowriders have plenty of horsepowers to get them through any body of water, even in rougher waters than most other types of boats can handle. But wait… what if you want more space? Don't worry! Bowriders are designed for people who don't want to be confined by their cabin space (or lack thereof). They have open front seats so everyone can sit together comfortably while still enjoying all those beautiful sights from behind their windshields. This boat is originally from the USA, and the first bowrider was sea tested in 1965. The idea behind the bowrider was to give the passengers an experience shielded from the wind while at the same time providing an easy driving experience. Bowriders are well suited for many recreational water sports such as tubing, water skiing, and swimming; however, a center console or walkaround boat is more practical for fishing. A bowrider boat is typically used for water-skiing or simply fooling around in the water. Here are some benefits of bowrider: Versatility and Customization: Bowriders are very versatile. For example, there are many different models that vary in size, style and colour. You can choose one that suits your needs perfectly. Affordability: Because they range in styles, you can also find them at an affordable price. You won’t have to spend a lot of money on something just because it looks cool! Seating in the Front and Back: A bowrider is perfect for entertainment and family boating because of its capacity. For example, if you want to invite friends over for a barbecue, you can sit everyone comfortably while enjoying the scenery from your boat. Easy to Drive: Because of their narrow bow and wider back, they can navigate sharper turns and curves without getting stuck or lost on land! The bowrider boat has also disadvantages. They can be difficult to tow, and there isn't much room for large groups of people. In addition, they often have limited overnight use, so if you plan on camping in your bowrider, you'll have to go with a smaller group. The seats in front are narrow and sometimes uncomfortable. If you're sitting in the front, you may not get as much light as you would like, which could make your trip dangerous at night. Some of the larger models are not nearly as easy to tow and store—you need special permits to tow boats or items of a certain size in most states. Do you have any questions about the Bowrider?
