Chapter 443 Experience of Driving a Yacht(1/3)
Chapter 443 The experience of driving a yacht
Hong Kong Island, Lantern State.
Lantern State, also known as Chili Island, is a small island in the inland sea of Hong Kong. There are no residents living on the island.
There is a seawall built on the island that connects to Xiangjiang Island, and you can sail directly to it. This makes it technically no longer an island.
The Hong Kong Island Yacht Club, the Hong Kong Island Chalo Club and the entrance to the undersea tunnel are all built on it.
The next morning.
The sea around Lantern State is sparkling.
The sunlight shining on the sea is like scattering gold into the sea, which is extremely beautiful.
Across the small sea area, you can see the soft sand on the beach of Hong Kong Island opposite.
Looking further into the distance, you can see both sides of Victoria Bay, the Central District of Xiangjiang Island and the high-rise buildings of Yau Tsim Mong on the Kowloon Peninsula.
The two sides of the Taiwan Strait symbolize the prosperity of Hong Kong Island, and more than 80% of Hong Kong Island's GDP is produced here.
Morning time.
On the five yacht berths rented by the Chili Island Hong Kong Yacht Club and French Beneteau Yachting Company on a long-term basis.
A Beneteau catamaran, a high-custom-made blue sailboat, swayed slightly with the fluctuations of the sea water in the slight waves in the morning.
"ah--"
"I'm going to die. Why are you like this? One night, I just woke up...ah..."
The bedroom of the extremely luxurious and stylish catamaran sailboat.
There was a French woman's cry that ordinary Chinese, Americans, and British people couldn't understand.
She spoke French with an authentic Gascon/Toulouse accent.
This French local accent is extremely popular in France.
Most French people feel that the Toulouse accent is hopelessly sexy. Speaking with this accent is as good as singing, and it reminds people of French food and sunshine.
Gascon/Toulouse people feel that their accent, like the sound of nature, seems to have the magic power to transport people to southern France, the city of roses where the sun never sets, and the rose-pink life, which is more French than Paris.
Old Baijing people think their words are authentic, but that's just their own opinion.
The French in Gascon/Toulouse, except for themselves, is what most French people think...
So maybe we really need to admit that French with this accent may actually sound better.
And since the woman speaks French, of course the Chinese who speak Chinese and the Americans who speak English cannot understand her.
"call--"
Happily, taking a deep breath, Abel left Carla's body.
He didn't know that Carla's spoken French was the so-called sexiest Gascon/Toulouse accent.
It is also voted by all French people as the most sexy French language.
Because he only speaks English and Chinese and has not learned other languages.
But I couldn't tell what she was talking about when she was excited.
But just from the perspective of melody and tone.
Abel also felt that Carla had been made to speak her mother tongue uncontrollably by him since last night.
When I say that, it really feels like singing.
If you have to make a ranking list.
Abel thought that when Carla said what her native language was called in her hometown.
I can definitely be ranked number one among the women I have come across with the best names.
A thin towel was placed on Carla, who was so tired that she was lying on Simmons with her eyes closed and panting.
Abel put on his boxers, turned around and left the bedroom, passing by the large luxurious living room on the yacht.
Then go through a small set of stairs and appear on the deck of this French Lagoon 77.
This Lagoon 77 is the proudest, most outstanding and most expensive catamaran of the Beneteau Group.
The external asking price for this mass-produced standard boat is almost tens of millions of dollars.
Some people may think that tens of millions of dollars is not expensive for a luxury yacht.
But the key point is that it is only a small and medium-sized yacht of 77 feet, which is less than 24 meters long.
Not those big ones that are hundreds of feet tall, let alone those super luxury cruise ships.
Such a small boat can be sold at such a high price and still sell well.
This should also be regarded as a side proof that Beneteau Lagoon's products are extremely powerful, or that in this field, it is so popular among the rich.
Compared with ordinary power boats, the Lagoon 77 has "sailing" in its name, so it naturally has sails.
The tall and slender mast, the retro-looking sail ropes, and the canvas that expands when not in use all convey the attributes of a sailboat.
The elegant detailed design, sophisticated construction and exquisite materials in the cabin jointly create a comfortable and harmonious interior space.
The optimized layout makes the internal space look extremely spacious and bright visually, making it a real living area.
The salon equipped with large glass windows and the excellent height under the deck beam ensure an extraordinary panoramic view.
Abel got off Carla and came out of the cabin.
He is currently lying on the outdoor lounge chair on the stern deck of this Lagoon 77.
At his feet, there was cold, clean and clear water. In the distance, he could see Yau Tsim Mong, one of the most prosperous areas on Hong Kong Island.
I have to say, after experiencing it for a night.
Abel thinks that the Beneteau yacht has excellent driving quality.
First of all, she has a beautiful boat shape, slender front and rear, and perfect proportions.
The overall color of the hull is white and flawless, and the paint is smooth and not as rough as ordinary European and American yachts.
Then in terms of driving quality, although she is still an ownerless, newly manufactured dinghy.
But how can I put it, maybe because it is produced in France.
Once controlled by Abel, even if she has never been to sea, she can adaptively adjust the shape of the boat and the driving mode when sailing on the sea and riding wind and waves according to Abel's different driving needs.
The power of the boat is also worth mentioning.
Although it is a sailing ship, it has never been to sea and has never experienced an owner.
But when she was driven by Abel, her power was very abundant. The dual power system of sail + internal combustion engine gave the Beneteau yacht super endurance.
What surprised Abel even more was that this Beneteau yacht was equipped with excellent French specially tuned speakers.
When he started driving, both the sail system and the engine noise sounded as good as singing...
The only fly in the ointment may be that it was the first time I went to sea and was driven by someone for the first time.
When Abel just put the key in.
There is some oil coming out of the engine oil port, and the color is very red...
All in all, Abel was very satisfied with this experience.
So I opened it after midnight last night.
When he woke up in the morning, he couldn't help but start driving again.
The boat sailed until 10 a.m., which is just now, when we stopped to rest.
At this moment, he was blowing the morning breeze that was slightly cool on the sea in the morning of late March in Hong Kong Island, and after basking in the sun for a while.
Abel, who was sitting on the recliner, squinted his eyes slightly, raised his hands, and patted his palms gently.
"Pah - pah -"
The sound is crisp and does not travel very far.
But ten seconds later, Allen and David, the two generals, emerged from the yacht boarding position.
"Morning...oh, it's almost noon. Good morning, David and Alan."
Abel, who had a great time driving the yacht, was in a very good mood.
He smiled and greeted his second general, Heng Ha.
"Good morning, boss."
David and Alan also smiled and said hello to their boss.
After saying hello, Abel spoke first.
"Alan, tell me about the internal ownership structure and approximate market value of the Beneteau Group. As far as I know, it has not been listed yet?"
Allen nodded calmly.
To be continued...
