The Team New Zealand Boat being preserved in a specially designed Museum

This is the actual boat that won the America's Cup. The way they preserved this pride of their country is commendable. Sad to say in our homeland, once our pride "Jalur Gemilang" (that circumnavigated Solo Round the World - assisted) was left to rot in Langkawi Island. What a waste - we didn't appreciate the sacrifice made by a Malaysian Sailor in order to put Malaysia in the World Maritime Map. Our forefathers used to be great sailors. I hope more Malaysians will come forward to venture & explore in our Marine Industry.
