For someone who has never particularly found her sea legs, I was surprised to find myself on board the classic 19th century-inspired Schooner The Raja Laut last week. On invitation by darling Muriel Ydo of “I’ve got my finger in every pie” fame, a gathering of the who’s who of the tourism industry attended an evening of fabulous Italian wines, food and a twilight sail on the 100ft yacht, which accommodates 50 guests and can sleep up to 12 before the gorgeous gaff top-sail schooner ended its season here and set sail for Malaysia (with its equally gorgeous skipper). Not sure I’d brave the broader seas with this dashing king but can definitely say it got my toes wet. Ahoy there me hardies! I’m up for a schooner – beer anyone?
