Worth knowing
Lien Hwa Corporation; cover, cost and conditions
Lien Hwa is a Taiwanese name. The boat yard belongs to the Lien Hwa Industrial Corporation, a listed industrial company founded in 1955, and it started building boats in 1978. The yard turned out motor yachts, often together with partners from abroad; Blue Ocean from the Netherlands, Marine Trader from the United States and McKinna Yachts are named among them. Under its own name Lien Hwa is known above all for aft cabin yachts with a generous beam, such as the 42 Sundeck built from 1983 to 1994 and the Mark III yachts.
Our model records hold one Lien Hwa design, the World Ranger 55. It is listed as a motor yacht of 16.76 metres with build years from 1979 to 1986, which places it in the yard's first years. None of the entries runs into the most recent build years. The smaller aft cabin yachts such as the 42 Sundeck are not listed under this name in our records, and neither are boats Lien Hwa built for partner brands. At 55 feet the World Ranger is a boat for owners who want to travel long distances and live aboard, and today every example is a used boat with four decades behind it.
A Taiwanese motor yacht of this era deserves a thorough survey before purchase. Teak decks laid over a glassfibre deck are worth a close look, since leaking fastenings can let water into the core underneath. Fuel tanks from the period may be steel or black iron and should be checked for corrosion. Ask about the age and hours of the diesels, the state of the stabilisers if fitted, and how the wiring has been updated over the years. Windows and hatches on a boat this size need sound seals, and the generator and air conditioning are worth testing under load.
