2002 to 2017

In 2002 she was bought by her current owner. This owner made a major refit in 2002-2006 amounting to approx. 150,000US$ in Phuket. He then sailed her around Phuket and took part in the 2003, 2004 and 2008 Andaman Sea Rallies. In 2008 she was sailed around the Malacca peninsula from Phuket to Pattaya in the Gulf of Thailand were she stayed till January 2010. She was then sailed back to Phuket where she is now berthed in the Boat Lagoon. This berth is also owned through a lease.
