Sail Lanka hosted the BELGOLUX Economic Mission to Sri Lanka aboard its catamaran Ocean Diamond in June, with diplomatic representatives and ambassadors from Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the European Union and Sri Lanka attending. The reception took place against Colombo’s coastline and sunset and was used for networking, dialogue and discussion of collaboration.
Sea Leisure Yachting Group has launched Amber, a 14-metre passenger boat built at its Kait, Jaffna boatyard and designed by Sabrosa Rain Advanced Technologies. The vessel will be operated by Sail Lanka for island-hopping excursions and tours to Delft Island. Amber has a beam of 4.2 metres and a passenger capacity of 70 guests. SLYG said its construction was part of the Building A Future Foundation training curriculum for young Sri Lankans in the Jaffna program.
The Building A Future Foundation Training Institute marked its 20th anniversary on 1 November 2024 with a graduation ceremony at the Kabalana Hotel. The class of 2024 comprised 68 graduates, and Pierre Pringiers handed over their diplomas.
