The owner Chris Knight advertised it in the Salam for MYR13,000. He was the MD of SSB. I was a lowly COE working in the Production department.
Sailing has been my hobby for 35 years. In the warm waters of Malaysia, I usually started sailing (in a small dinghy) by doing a capsize drill and finished with another capsize drill. I moved to New Zealand in 1995. Here, I found that the water is freezingly cold. So, I use a larger boat. Large trailer yachts cannot capsize but they cannot plane either. However, they are excellent for cruising and for exploring the many fresh water lakes near Rotorua and Taupo.
