A modern take on the traditional Chinese trading junk: the 48.5-foot K’ung Fu-Tse, designed by the late Thomas Colvin and built of aluminium.

Colvin lived aboard the junk with his family and from 1973 to 1989, sailed her more than 75.000 sea miles.

A large three-masted junk with red, fully battened sails atop white superstructure, like a proper 'ship', on a long, deeply sheered, Chinese style aluminium hull.

@ccohanlon fine boat. The junk is eminently sailable. Even with a small crew.

@ccohanlon I love your aquatic vessel build posts.

Just really freakin love them.

I always save the schematic view and mildly daydream about building similar things for the next few days.

Thank you for that joy.
