Tuanku
The love for the sea and all it entails is shared by the Sultan of Selangor, HRH Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, who is the Patron of the Royal Selangor Yacht Club (RSYC).
A keen sportsman and avid adventurer who has circumnavigated the globe, scaled mountains and taken part in gruelling car transcontinental auto rallies, Sultan Sharafuddin has said that the sport he loves the most is sailing.
On February 4th, 1995, while still Raja Muda of Selangor, Tuanku set off on his voyage from the Royal Selangor Yacht Club to circumnavigate the world on his yacht, Jugra, named after the former royal capital of the Selangor Sultanate).
“I was not out to prove anything to anybody. My main reason for sailing was merely to fulfil my childhood dream.”
