Unique Vessel In Hong Kong

371 July 2006

A distinctive bow.

At Choi Lee's Hong Kong facility.

Some call it an “adventure ship” others call it a “sailing junk” but regardless of its category the 34.5-meter Jockey Club Huan stands out in the crowded Hong Kong harbour. Built by Choi Lee's Hin Lee (Zuhai) Shipyard to a design by the British firm Three Quays Ltd., the aluminium-hulled three-master was delivered in February of this year and replaces the wooden hulled vessel Huan. Owned by a registered charitable organization, it is handicapped accessible and carries youth on cruises in Hong Kong waters. The huge sheltered main deck, provided by the boat's eight-meter beam, contains fold away three tier bunks for up to 62 passengers and several crewmembers.

A well-equipped aft-located wheelhouse includes skipper's accommodation and a flying bridge. Interior and exterior decks are wood clad to yacht standards. The three masts carry large junk style sails that will sail the craft although a pair of Cummins 6CTA 8.3 engines each producing 300 hp (255 Kw) turning through ZF gears with 2.25:1 reduction, drive the boat at nine knots. On sail power alone the boat can make five knots. A 55 ton concrete-filled keel provides stability under sail.

The upper deck and flying bridge helm.

A pair of Cummins Onan gen sets, one 75 kw and one 45 kW, provide for the ship's electrical needs. The Hong Kong Jockey Club provided funding for the vessel.
