Info on Chinese Boats (Hong Kong area)? I'll be moving there.
Hello Everyone,
I've built a couple of inboard power boats over the years, but my last running one is in the Lake Champlain area of Vermont, and starting this August I will be living in Shekou, near Shenzhen and Hong Kong, in China. I would like to communicate with anyone in this part of China (South China sea).. I am finishing up 3 years living on the Mediterranean, and kicking myself mightily for not getting SOME kind of boat on the water! Looking on Google Earth, I see a thousand or more fishing boats and utility boats that I estimate are from 20 to 40 feet. I'm NOT talking about those guys over at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club :-) I need to start to learn about the existing boats in this area of China. I am getting a few hits and photos but not much detail yet. I have heard that some of the best high-end yachts have been built in Hong Kong, and that there is a long tradition of seaworthy boats built in China, from large 'Junks' to many smaller kinds. I would appreciate any pointers or suggestions about information on the typical boats today in China, and any contacts you might suggest. Regards, Terry King ...On The Mediterranean in Carthage |
