A traditional Asian sailing boat, the junk is also present on the yachting market. Comprised of several battened and compensated sails, its rigging presents an astonishing and exotic aesthetic aspect for Western boaters.
With its "animal" shape reminiscent of winged fish, dragons or butterflies, the junk is a real change of scenery in itself. Shipbuilding enthusiasts are often in awe when they discover the intricacies of its architecture. It is not surprising that in 2010 the Chinese junk manufacturing technique was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A junk offers one of the most exotic cruises
Cruise passengers will find that the use of bamboo battens along the entire length of the canvas stiffens the sail, while maintaining its shape. The orientation of the sail is then optimised by an ingenious network of sheets, the latter being connected to a main sheet. Thus, the junk has different manoeuverability from sailing boats; a godsend for sailors who like to experience new sensations in piloting.
Sea lovers who have the immense privilege of visiting a coastal city in Asia should not miss junk rental. They will then be able to experience an exceptional cruise in the Pacific Ocean where magical landscapes, isolated coves and deserted beaches abound. They will have the choice between renting a private junk, which is more intimate, or travelling on-board a collective junk, in a friendly atmosphere with passengers from all over the world.
