The next day, Lin Feng and Ye Weiyu changed into athleisure attire, followed Larry's convoy in a car, and traveled to Oxnard, Ventura County, 60 miles from Los Angeles. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With a 7-mile stretch of coast and marinas, it is known as the yacht capital. The Mediterranean scenery of Channel Islands Harbor is very charming, and a variety of sailboats and pleasure boats are moored in the harbor.

Larry Ellison's luxury yacht and his BMW Oracle Racing fleet are moored there.

Lin Feng remembers that Larry Ellison owned the world's largest yacht, The Rising Sun, but only later learned that the famous yacht was still under construction at the Lurssen shipyard in Germany.

In fact, the yacht itself is almost finished, but Larry heard that his nemesis, Microsoft CEO Paul Allen, will be 413 feet long at the same time, if that is the case, the Octopus will become the world's largest yacht, and the 393-foot Rising Sun will be the second at birth, where can Larry let Paul press himself, so he notified the shipyard to revise the length of the Rising Sun to 452 feet.......

Well, looking at Larry and said proudly: "Man, you still have to rely on size to speak", Lin Feng was also speechless.

Although the world's largest yacht, the Rising Sun, is not yet there, Larry owns seven other yachts, one of which is docked at Osna, named after his current wife, Melanie.

Still 120 feet long, this yacht is a sports yacht built by the Italian shipyard ISA (International Shipyards Ancona) and is full of elegant sporty style, with a sleek exterior hull line and a spacious and luxurious interior.

Larry likes to keep his yacht with him when sailing.

In this way, he and his teammates set sail during the day, and at night, when the lights of the mansion dimmed the light of the moonlight, Larry and his teammates and friends mingled in the all-encompassing sea palace, surrounded by the scent of clothes and sideburns.

Because Lin Feng and the two were invited today, Melanie also accompanied them, and the basic arrangement was that the ladies rested on the yacht, and the men sailed.

Larry and Melanie accompanied Lin Feng and Ye Weiyu to board the Melanie, and after a tour, including the cockpit, swim platform, and flybridge deck.

Accessible from the aft sundeck area, the spacious living room, eight double cabins and VI Suite are all luxuriously furnished.

Eventually, the crowd re-emerged and took their seats on the Sundeck, which was made up of several separate activity areas. The comfortable curved sofa is placed behind the windshield, and it is the most comfortable place to sit and enjoy the sea view, without worrying about the wind and waves.

The yacht is staffed all year round, and the galleys on the lower deck level have prepared delicious food, fruit and champagne for them, which are already on the table.

Larry couldn't help it, and after a brief introduction to the yacht, he told Melanie to entertain Ye Weiyu and drink something, swim, sunbathe, .......

He pulled Lin Feng off the yacht and came to the sailing fleet not far away.

"Look, Richard, this is my baby, Sayonara!" Larry proudly introduced Lin Feng.

The Oracle fleet, which has already begun to cooperate with BMW, was built by Larry at a cost of more than $90 million, not only buying the best sailboats in the world, but also hiring the best sailors!

In the world of sailing, Larry is just as much respected as any other sailor. Contrary to most people's imagination, Ellison is not just the boss behind the scenes, nor does he appear as the 18th man, but is one of the crew members of the trimaran.

On Christmas Day 1998, at the Rolex Cup Sydney-Hobart Race, when a hurricane struck, Larry and his crew sailed 628 nautical miles together to sail the Sayonara through the Ghost Gate, finishing first out of 44 yachts to complete the race, becoming the winner of that historic race.

It was from that time that the beard that grew during the three-day and three-night voyage became Ellison's trademark.

Lin Feng's introduction to sailing was fortunate to be guided by such a legendary sailing enthusiast.

"Sir", at this time, the sailors on the ship were busy, and when they saw Larry and Lin Feng coming up, they got up and saluted.

”Harry!“ Larry shouted at the top of his lungs.

A bearded sailor with his head tied to a rope raised his hand, "Boss, here I am."

Larry introduced Lin Feng: "This is Harry, the best sailor on my ship, very experienced, you have just started to learn, you can let him teach you." ”

Then he turned to Harry and said, "This is Richard, my friend, he is a novice, and you will be in charge of teaching him how to survive on the ship in a moment." He laughed and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder. He likes to sail and steer himself, but he doesn't have time to teach novices.

Okay, Lin Feng nodded.

Anyway, it's just to have fun and feel the fun of sailing, whoever teaches it is the same.

Looking at the outstanding sailboat in front of him and the vast sea in the distance, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After all, in every man's heart, there is a dream to become the king of the pirates!

Harry didn't dare to be as easy as Larry, he knew very well that there was a huge gap between himself and Larry, and the people who could be called friends by Larry were all rich or powerful, although Lin Feng was not very old, he still didn't dare to despise it.

"Sir, I'm happy to help you, do you have any previous experience in sailing?"

"No, this is my first time on a sailboat, what should I do?...... By the way, Harry, you can just call me Richard." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Harry scratched his head with a smile: "Okay, Richard, if you're a beginner, you can follow me to control the headsail first, I'm hoisting the headsail, you can take a look at the ...... first." He looked at Lin Feng, shook his head, and said, "Your equipment is not good." ”

He turned and walked into the inner cabin, and after a while he took out a brand new set of nautical gloves and nautical glasses: "Sir, the costume you wear is fine, but you can't sail without gloves...... In addition, your sunglasses are not very suitable, so you should bring this kind of nautical glasses, which have no edges and corners and are not easy to get hurt. ”。

Lin Feng took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, and also, call me Richard." ”

"Okay, Richard." Harry laughed happily.

Next, he demonstrated to Lin Feng the raising of the foresail: fastening the foresail lower foresail steel cable to the bow ring, tying the foresail rope to the lower rear corner of the foresail, and pulling it into the ship's side from the port side on the inside of the side support cable, passing through the foresail steering pulley, and then tying a half-knot at each of the two rope heads to prevent slipping. The headsail harness connects the top of the foresail with a live chain, and then raises the foresail to lock the hoisting cable.

This set of processes, he does like a cloud of peers.

Harry introduced to Lin Feng: "The sailboat is mainly composed of the hull, mast, stabilizer plate or keel, rudder, sail and rigging. The most important power of a sailboat comes from the wind, so the headsail and mainsail are the two most important parts. ”

"For example, in the headsail, in addition to retracting the headsail rope and winch, the foresailer is mainly responsible for the angle of the headsail and the sail to the wind. ”

Subsequently, he began to explain to Lin Feng in detail the relationship and technology between wind, sail, windward, wind angle, ship's course, navigation sense, etc.

Finally, he smiled and said, "Man, the most important thing is to believe in our peers, believe in the strength of the team, we are the best!"

Lin Feng smiled, raised his fist and touched him.

Turn your head, face the sea breeze, and look at the endless sea.

There is infinite pride in my heart.

The sea, I'm coming!
