Terry,

I have lived in Asia for the past thirty years and while certainly
both work boats and yachts were built in Hong Kong in the past those
days are long gone ...
Great information.. I've learned more on the groups than with a lot of
Googling... I didn't mean to be too much down the nose at the RHK
club. I just had read an article about all the new Chinese Billionaires
and how they can't get dock space in HK for their new 90 footers...

I'll look for the references you made..

Are there boat 'yards' / builders up the Pearl river a way too?

Thanks!

Terry,

I believe that "Seahorse", who builds both in fiberglass and steel,
yards are on the Pearl River a short ferry trip from Hong Kong.

While there probably are Chinese Billionaires at the RHKYC there are
also a lot of ordinary folks there too and probably worth a visit.
