M/V The Junk

For a special adventure we will provide a special boat. The June Hong Chian Lee (Respect Wind Travel Forever) is now restored to her old glory to serve as a live aboard in the Phuket area. Therefore she is renovated to meet today's divers expectations.
The June Hong Chian Lee is one of several sailing yachts built in Penang, Malaysia, and is a 30 meters, 140-ton three mast sailing yacht with 330 square meters of sails, built in 1962 for charcoal transportation. The June Hong Chian Lee was part of a small merchant fleet that traded up and down the coastline from Burma to Malaysia. She was mainly used to transport mango wood charcoal till 1985, then she was restored and redesigned for the first time to serve as a classic yacht. The June Hong is constructed mainly from a hard teak wood called Takien Tong . Extremely strong, the wood is used for the three masts that rise 23 meters above the deck; 28 meters above sea level.
