Yachting : Heysea Yachts is one of the Best Companies in the world
Heysea Yachts is one of the best yachts companies in the yachts world . It was founded in 2007, a notoriously testing time for even long standing operations let alone new ones thanks to the Financial Crisis, after Leng and his colleagues identified a gap in the market for Chinese white boat construction.
Having studied naval architecture and engineering Leng had encountered commercial ships but had very little to do with yachts and it was only when he spent time living and studying in New Zealand, a country where time on the water is a way of life, that he was first properly exposed to the world of leisure yachting.
On his return to China he was determined to create a company that would be able to foster the same love for sailing in China as he had seen first hand in New Zealand.
And so Heysea Yachts was born, with a vision to create a market-leading shipyard and to help bring the world of yachting to China.
Initially focusing on the 60 to 80’ market Leng himself worked on the development of the naval architecture, exterior and interior design of the Heysea range, a process he still enjoys today.
Originally the business plan had been to target the worldwide market from the get go but with the onset of the Financial Crisis, focus shifted more to the local market, a move which proved incredibly beneficial in the long run as the yard fast proved popular within China.
