Hello all,

I've been very quiet here since starting a few months back. In all honesty I'm snowed under with work. If I was retired.....

However 5 mins ever so often I'll check the web and I found this a while back;

http://chinesejunkboats.tripod.com/

I am guessing others have found this before, and my word there are some lovely looking pieces on here.

Anyone know the history of this site, who owns or runs it etc? I love the idea of a hardwood traditional vessel, but have to be realistic that it may be considerable more work than owning a GRP alternative. I was told as much by a friend of mine who lived on one for a number of years, but then I can't comment as I have no experience personally.

There are a couple of vessels that really are beauties in my price range, but that is only in in jpg form!
