    I had dinner with Wayne last night. 

    Yes , this is still very much an active operation and I think he has found something which is becoming increasingly rare in China......... a traditional shipwright, who is willing to build in wood!  The web site shows the two smaller boats 6m and 4m.  What it does not show is the 10.5m which has been built and looks beautiful.  There is also a 30m under construction.

    Wayne is in the process of rejoining the JRA. I think this is all current activity.

    Some nice shots - wonder if they're still building? Contacts page mentions Wayne Moran as Executive Director - he featured in several Newsletter issues way back.

    Here's a website that's worth looking at:
       " ...there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in junk-rigged boats"
