Commander Robin Kilroy wrote in his book on Boleh. 'All my spare time in April to September 1947 was devoted to building this model, Boleh- mark 2...........When Boleh - mark 2 was finished, I set of with 'Bog' Beard on fourteen days leave. We packed up Boleh - mark 2 and 'Bog's' latest Jap-built racer and went to stay at Port Dickson, where we heard there was a reasonable bathing beach.......... All the more was my triumph, therefore, when miniature Boleh not only proved seaworthy, but also showed she could hold her own with 'Bog's' racing model, which was of the same water -line length but Bermuda-rigged, with a mast almost twice as high as mine'.
