I bought a Laser (19.10.2016)

Laser 1985

I first sailed a Laser in Miri in 1985. That was my 7th sailing dinghy and my favourite boat. I used it a lot. At the same time I also had three 470's, an Optimist, Sunfish and a Yamaha Seahoper.

Laser 2016

Today I have come full circle, sailing a Laser again after 35 years on the water. This second Laser is my 11th boat. This time I had to wear a wet suit because the water is cold at 12*C or even lower in winter.

Eugene at Milford Sound

In 1995 we toured the South Island for the first time for a week. Five years later we toured the South Island again. This time for 12 days. A 2 week tour in a self-driven car is about right, if you want to see most of the sights on the South Island.
