FAMILY TIME
More recently, Lai, who already owns two Lamborghinis, was
tempted to get a new supercar after a ride in his friend’s Bugatti, but
his wife steered him towards a bigger yacht. His Sunseeker 76 Yacht,
his third boat to be named Tory, arrived earlier this year, after the
arrival of their second son.
“We wanted to upgrade again to create an activity that we could
share with our family and also friends, who also have kids – more than
we have! We moved the kitchen from the main deck to the lower one,
so there’s more space for kids to run around.”
Lai takes his wife and two boys out on Tory most weekends and is
happy when his eldest son asks to go for a day out on the boat rathernames as there was no Google Maps. We met a lot of great people,
tourists, expats or backpackers hiking on the islands, seeing what they
could find beyond all the parties and drinking in Lan Kwai Fong.”
Lai decided to purchase his second boat, a Sunseeker Manhattan
55, after being persuaded it was time for an upgrade by Gordon Hui,
Chairman of Sunseeker Asia.
“Gordon and I would always talk about boats because he is the
king of Sunseekers! I had always liked them for their James Bond
look. He introduced me to his friends who were also yacht owners and
we talked a lot about our shared passions. Also, we had just found out
that our first child (now five) was on the way, so we had good reason to
want a boat with a bit more space,” he laughs.
