The Chinese Invade Sydney

The first two units of a possible invasion of a fleet of Chinese junks could be seen, awaiting buyers, at Sydney's Rushcutter Bay, in early December. However, the buyers will have to fork out the coolie price of £4 000 for the 30 ft job and the Mandarins of Mosman will have to pay £6,000 to get the extra 5 ft of the bigger junk. The dis tributors claim they are the easiest craft to sail. With a simple roller blind rig arrangement, you merely turn the wheel and the sail moves. However, although the junks were built in Hongkong under licence, they have something wore than standard Hongkong amenities.

They are fitted out in Oriental splendour, with bunks toilet, galley and provision for a refrigerator on J*each of the craft. Power is provided by a petrol marine motor—the smaller of the Sydney two has ii a 35 hp engine and the larger has 65 hp Well what offers? ’ yk
