Chapter 411: The Sailing Ship Returns
Took a taxi and came to the outside of the quarry.
The quarry is in the suburbs, and it takes only ten minutes by car.
When I got out of the car, I saw a whole large rock pile.
"Yacht club shares, is there any interest?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"Club shares, including shares in the marina."
"It should be included. Otherwise, how could a simple club share be worth more than 10 million. And then there's that pier, which is where the club manages...... "The club is a company.
"That marina, do you make money?"
"Making money is definitely making money, but I don't know how much profit there is. After all, there is a professional marina in Suva......"
There is only one professional yacht, but there is a place where you can dock the yacht.
Like Xu Xing's yacht, it is parked at the Hongshawan pier.
Chen Yuan shook his head: "I don't know how to run a yacht marina, forget it." ”
Zhou Sheng smiled and nodded: "Bluestone slab, I think it's better to choose an irregular shape." ”
"Let's go check it out."
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng looked around, and finally chose the irregular slate.
Chen Yuan ordered 450 pieces at a time, with a length of 80 cm, a width of 40 cm, and a thickness of 4-5 cm. The price of each piece is Fijian $130.
This price is too expensive.
Chen Yuan checked it on the Internet, and the domestic price of bluestone slabs of the same specification is about forty or fifty yuan a piece. This is still the price of online purchase and free shipping.
Zhou Sheng roughly calculated that if two stone slabs were laid in 1 meter, a total of 11,500 would be needed.
The slate he asked for didn't have to be that big, 60 cm x 40 cm long, almost fine. Each block is quoted at FJD 93.
】
After purchasing a large amount of money and bargaining, Chen Yuan asked for an 80x40 irregular slate, and the final price was 110 Fijian yuan.
Zhou Sheng asked for 60x40, 80 Fijian dollars each. If it's 11,500 yuan, that's 920,000 Fijian dollars.
Zhou Sheng originally thought that the stone road would be paved from the hotel to the coconut grove in the eastern suburbs, if it was not bad for money, it could be paved like this, but there was not much need.
In the end, it was ready to lay stone slabs on the main resort islands, hotel scenic spots, and other places, and only 2,600 pieces were purchased. Zhou Sheng bargained for a long time and talked about the price to 200,000. The price of the package.
Chen Yuan's 450 yuan is not so much in stock. I gave a deposit and signed the contract.
At noon, the cargo ship transporting the yacht had arrived at the port of Suva.
Chen Yuan sent Zhou Sheng over, and he and Yan Xiaoxi came to the yacht dock. Yan Xiaoxi and Chen Xin went out to buy a lot of things, and brought them back to the yacht to put them away.
"What did you buy?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Clothes, tea set, ornaments, and an electric kettle. I also wanted to buy a soymilk machine, but I couldn't find it. ”
Chen Yuan smiled: "Are there any clothes you bought for me?" ”
"Yes, couple's pajamas." Yan Xiaoxi grinned, lay down in Chen Yuan's arms, and whispered, "I also bought Balenciaga." ”
Chen Yuan gently kissed Yan Xiaoxi's forehead, and the mobile phone rang: "Hey? ”
"Brother, where is it?"
"On a yacht."
"Come with me to the sailing club."
"Where's the club?"
"Over there."
"Okay, wait for us outside."
The owner of the windsurfing club is Amirt's wife, over there in the college district.
drove over to pick up Chen Xin and came to the Sail Club.
The Sail Club offers sailing lessons, sailing lessons, as well as windsurfing and dingoo rentals.
In recent years, the international environment has not been good, and many industries have not been operating well. The rent of the windsurfing club is very high, and it is not ready to operate in the first place, and the Amirt family is preparing to emigrate, and the equipment of the windsurfing club is on sale.
Amirt had contacted Zhou Sheng before, and Zhou Sheng asked him to leave a small sailboat in good condition, and some sails and surfboards.
There are more than 20 small sailboats here, all of which are small sailboats with steady plates. The latest batch of sailing ships was purchased for more than two years, and a batch of Ace sailing ships were purchased at that time, a total of 16 ships.
The largest is RS Cat16 with three. It is a small catamaran with a length of 4.72 meters and a width of 2.38 meters, with a net in the middle.
And then it's all 3.47 meters, 3.66 meters, 4.51 meters, three models.
16 sailboats, 11 windsurfboards, 20 surfboards.
A number of windsurfboards and surfboards have been selected, and the windsurfboards and surfboards that are left behind look like they have been for some years. But these things are well maintained......
The sailboats were all unpowered, and in the end, it was 260,000 Fijian dollars. Before, it was Ace sailing, windsurfing and surfboards, which were not expensive, after all, buying a new windsurfing board was a few thousand yuan for a good one, and a few hundred yuan for a cheap one.
I thought I could do it all in one afternoon and go back in the evening.
Zhou Sheng's procedures have not been completed, and the matter will not be completed until noon the next day.
Windsurfing boards and surfboards, put on top of the BG24. These things don't take up much space and aren't heavy.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng drove the Taiti 80, which was quite large, with 4 small sailboats on it. The rest found a cargo ship and were loaded by the cargo ship.
After one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng drove the taiti 80 out to sea.
The boat is large and soft-topped.
However, it takes manpower to pull and open the soft top.
The soft top still houses the storage compartment.
Mechanically powered, the maximum speed of this boat is 11 knots. Outside the lagoon, the two raised the sails, the main sail area: 135m, the auxiliary sail area 63m.
Chen Yuan still touched a sailboat when he was taking the yacht driver's license, and he has not been in contact with it since.
The boat has a rudder and can be steered. The vast majority of two-sailed sailboats have a rudder on the left and right.
The boat also has two rudders, but these two rudders are concentrated in the middle of the rear and only need one person to maneuver.
During the day, the wind mostly blows landward.
To go to sea is to go against the wind.
Sailing, many people should find it difficult.
But actually, sailing is simple. Especially the larger, rudder sailboats. On the contrary, small sailing boats are more difficult to control......
Then there's the headwind of the sailboat.
Modern sailboats have good sailing ability against the wind. There is a rudder, and it is enough to adjust the sail surface directly through the rudder.
Zhou Sheng was operating a catamaran for the first time, testing it in the driver's seat for a long time, and also turned off the yacht's engine.
Chen Yuan stood next to Zhou Sheng: "Now it's pure wind power?" ”
Zhou Sheng nodded: "Pure wind power, full sails." ”
Full sail, maximum speed at the current wind. Now it is estimated that the wind is in the second level, and the speed is six or seven knots at full sail.
The current voyage is not entirely against the wind, but at a certain angle to the direction of the wind.
Zhou Sheng started the engine again, and then adjusted the sail angle, and the speed increased a lot.
Sailing on a sailboat is actually using the principle of aerodynamics, also known as Bernoulli's principle.
The total energy of the wind is equal to the kinetic energy of the wind blowing, plus the static pressure energy, and the static pressure decreases when the kinetic energy increases.
Also, sailboats can sail against the wind. But follow the trend at a certain angle.
Moreover, if the wind blows from behind, the sailboat will not be able to run fast, and in this case, the maximum speed of the sailboat is not as fast as the speed of the wind. But the wind came from the front, and the sailboat could make the boat run faster than the wind, or even far more.
The sailboat is powered by the wind, coupled with its own power. When the sail is opened, the boat's own power is used as an auxiliary power, not as a main power......
Chen Yuan looked at the speed of the boat, and ran seventeen or eighteen knots in the best state. If the wind is stronger, the boat can be faster.
