The challenge that started it all.
JG Challenge Sdn Bhd was conceived in the year 2000 by Datuk Azhar Mansor after completing his project “SY Jalur Gemilang Solo Round The World Challenge” in which he became the first Malaysian to circumnavigate the world single-handedly. A challenge ratified by the World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC), Datuk Azhar departed from Langkawi, Malaysia in February 1999 and completed his voyage in 190 days.
Following our first project, the company has spread its wings in establishing and managing marine related ventures and events in the country. Led by our founder, we have rendered our expertise and knowledge in developing waterfront infrastructures in a number of consultancy contracts.
Today we have designed and produced small crafts of various sizes including RHIB, fibreglass kayaks and marine components for the yachting market through our boat yard JGBoats. We also manage Telaga Harbour Marina through our wholly owned subsidiary company Telaga Harbour Sdn Bhd.
