Even though its name was odoriferously changed by some joker , the Darwin cruising yacht Colie left many competitors in its wake at the recent 30th annual Raja Muda Selangor International Regatta , which attracted 116 entrants . A graffiti artist changed the image of the yacht by adding the letter E to its name, making it look like E. coli as in bacteria found in faecal contamination .
Nevertheless , a good time was had by the crew of the Darwin vessel owned by Doug Sallis. The yacht came within a whisker of taking out the class two section of the Port Klang to Langkawi Race held over nine days . At one stopover , the Puteri Bayu Beach resort, the management's motto , much appreciated by the Darwin squad , was : May the wind fill your sails and the beer be cold .
An exciting race took part in strong wind at night , dodging squid fishermen with lamps in small boats . A Darwin sailor showed he has a bright future pulling rickshaws as a result of his performance during a spirited race in Penang .
