The next day.

In subject four, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng passed the test very smoothly, and when they got their driver's licenses, they took Zhou Lan's car to the car dealership.

The car was paid for yesterday.

When I came to the car dealership at noon, the car dealer helped me get a temporary license plate. Zhou Sheng didn't dare to drive yet, so his car was handed over to Chen Xin and drove back to the island.

Chen Yuan held the steering wheel, first understood the various functions of the car, and waited for Zhou Sheng to get into the car, Chen Yuan started the car and reversed out...... Then go into gear.

A car with an automatic transmission is very simple to drive.

On the highway, Zhou Sheng was nervous: "Be careful." ”

"Don't talk." There are many cars and people on the highway, and there are all kinds of traffic lights.

Chen Yuan's car was not driving fast, and after leaving the city, he followed the navigation to the gas station to refuel, and then looked at the address of Jiuxing Yacht Company: "There is no shipyard nearby?" ”

The shipyard they are talking about is a yacht factory, and the Nine Star Yacht Company is in Xinhe Town, the next city, more than 60 kilometers.

I just bought a car and just got my driver's license, honestly...... After driving more than 60 kilometers, Chen Yuan was still a little weak-hearted.

"There are a couple of small shipyards nearby. Xinhe Yacht Company is still a big brand here, and the quality of the big brand is more guaranteed, after all, it is a sailing ......," Zhou Sheng said.

"Do you want to listen to the song?" Chen Yuan planned the road and started the car.

"You concentrate on driving."

"How big do you want to buy?"

"Within ten meters. I don't have much money......"

Chen Yuan laughed: "If there is a suitable one, I will invest half of it and buy a keel boat." ”

"Okay." Zhou Sheng laughed.

Chen Yuan continued: "It's best to be between eight or nine meters. Go to the shipyard first, and then look at the second-hand market. ”

The value of the sailboat depreciated quickly, so I turned around and asked Wang Peng to help ask to see if I could pick up the leak.

Zhou Sheng contacted the shipyard yesterday, came to the shipyard, made a phone call, and someone came to receive them.

The factory building of Jiuxing Yacht Company is very large, and it can produce large yachts of twenty or thirty meters.

There are not many people in domestic sailing, and most of them play mechanical power yachts and power boats. The company is also qualified to produce sailboats, and the year before last it cooperated with a sailing club in Guangdong to sail the company's sailboats around the world.

1 meter is equal to about 3.28 feet.

For an experienced sailor, a 24-foot sailing boat is enough to sail around the world.

24 feet, or more than six meters.

For a comfortable circumnavigation of the globe, the ideal size is between 35-45 feet. The comfort, hull speed and cargo carrying capacity of a boat of this size are the best for long-distance sailing.

But for ordinary people, if they want to travel more comfortably, if they go to South Korea, RB, and some countries in Southeast Asia, a sailboat of more than 26 feet can meet the demand.

If you want to go around the world, you need more than 40 feet.

Circumnavigating the world is not just a big ship, it also requires a wealth of sailing experience and technology.

Regardless of whether it is a sailboat or another boat, a larger one is naturally more comfortable.

If you have money, just buy a big boat to practice. On a budget, buy a small boat to practice sailing skills.

The shipyard has only one sailboat under 10 meters that can sail long distances.

A sailboat that can sail long distances and meets EU standards......

This sailboat is 9.9 meters and has a triangular bedroom with a long living room. The hull price is 850,000 yuan (tax included).

Buying a boat is like buying a house.

You can buy fine decoration, and you can also buy a rough house. 750,000 is equivalent to a rough house......

The 9.9 meters are not considered.

Chen Yuan and the others followed to see the 8-meter sailboat, which was still a keel boat with a cabin. But the structure is relatively simple......

This kind of boat can only be played in the country, and it is unlikely to apply for a sailing visa from another country, and the seaworthy area is also offshore. Hull plus mast, plus sail...... plus three certificates, the total is 260,000 yuan.

"There are such sailing ships on Hailing Island." Zhou Sheng said.

Chen Yuan let out a 'hmm' and left the cabin with Zhou Sheng.

"9.9 meters, a million." Chen Yuan said: "This is also too expensive. ”

"It's not expensive, it's cheap." Zhou Sheng said: "If it is a foreign sailboat of the same level, it is basically more than 1.5 million. ”

Chen Yuan said that one million is a conservative estimate.

The hull will cost 850,000 yuan, and the equipment on the ship will add up to at least 300,000 yuan.

These devices include sea anchors, autopilots, storm sails, EPIRBs (wireless emergency position indicators), satellite phones, heavy life rafts, and more.

As for the 9.9-meter hull, if you really want to sail away, the strength structure of the hull should be upgraded to another level. For ships to sail far, the stronger the hull structure, the better......

"The new ship is too expensive." Chen Yuan said: "Go back and ask Wang Peng to find out if there are any second-hand sailboats, preferably the kind of hundreds of thousands, for practice." ”

Zhou Sheng scratched his head: "In the past few years, I haven't considered galleons, it's too expensive." If you have money in the future, you can buy a foreign sailboat of more than ten meters, and foreign second-hand sailboats are cheap. ”

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded: "You can buy a windsurfing board to play." ”

Zhou Sheng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "This idea is reliable." ”

Zhou Sheng then took out his mobile phone, clicked on Jingdong and searched for windsurfing, cheap windsurfing boards with sails, a set of thousands of yuan. It's more than 20,000 yuan......

"I'll buy two, and you can go back and transfer the money to me." Zhou Sheng said.

"Okay. Looking better to buy ......"

Zhou Sheng studied for a while and said, "Don't buy the most right, only buy the most expensive." 4 meters, or 5 meters, for the sails? ”

"Buy two. Play 4.0 first, and 5.0 when you're proficient. Chen Yuan said.

"Okay."

Boards and sails, these can be bought separately.

"The board I chose is full carbon fiber, the board plus a 5-meter sail, 18,000, how about it?"

"Pick me a cool board."

Tens of thousands of yuan, Chen Yuan is not distressed when he consumes things, and he earned more than 40,000 yuan on a trip to the open sea before.

"Okay, red boards and red sails, with flame patterns, how about it." Zhou Sheng said with a smile.

"Yes." Chen Yuan glanced at Zhou Sheng as he spoke: "With a windsurfing board, can you still buy a sailboat?" ”

"We'll talk about it later. To be honest, I don't like the kind of eight-meter sailboat offshore, it's too ugly. Zhou Sheng said with a smile.

"When you have money in the future, buy a sailboat of about thirteen meters, then you will be comfortable." Chen Yuan said.

"I've been thinking about sailboats for years." Zhou Shengdao.

"Then work hard to make money."

"What are the sea conditions now, let's go to the Qizhou Islands."

"The sea conditions for the last three days have not been very good, and it is not suitable for running far." Chen Yuan said.

Now in the summer, the weather is unpredictable.

Running a few dozen nautical miles, that's okay. But if you run too far, you have to choose the weather.

It's like some fishermen who shoot videos on the Internet, and they basically make a few hundred or more thousand yuan on a trip...... If you're lucky, you can make a few thousand dollars. Most of them are small fishing boats inshore, and they don't go out to sea every day.

Back on the island, Chen Yuan called Lin Xinhai and wanted to call him out for dinner, this person ...... Fishing went.

There are Lin Xinhai, Wang Peng, Chen Xin and Zhou Lan.

Zhou Lan has no addiction to fishing, and the other three, Wang Peng used to like fishing. But Lin Xiaoyue doesn't like it, so she can't go out often. Now that Lin Xinhai has entered the pit, with the support of his father-in-law, he has let himself go.

As for Chen Xin, she was a little stunned. As far as she said, when she dreams at night, she often dreams of fishing. It can be said that Chen Xin's fish addiction is estimated to be better than Wang Peng's sea.

She now thinks about going out fishing whenever she has time.

There were two days before it was windy and she couldn't go to sea, and after returning from the yachting class for those two days, she went to the beach with a fishing rod, threw two rods by herself, and played until it was dark before going home. People are still addicted to vegetables, and she is talking about her.
