Harry,
Check this Australian Broker he has this one listed in Langkawi :-
Alaska 44
I have friends in Langkawi - who if doing nuphing can have sqizz at the mast (Which is wood)
Wood or Ali - both can have problems - corrosion or rot. If someone is really interested - there is a first class surveyor in Langkawi - obviously ali is lighter and easier to check for corrosion. If the wood is in good shape - it can last the life of the boat.
Good solid boats - this one has been in the tropics so it may be fitted out specifically.
