    A friend of mine invited me to take photos in "an unusual location", as he said. Later on I found myself in one the most impressive shipyard that I have ever seen in the area: Mr. György Juhász, second generation boat builder and owner of the Foarboc shipyard showed me around, while telling me stories on the wonderful wooden dragons to be repaired. He is a devoted boat builder, as well as a sailor of course, sailing every summer in the Lake Balaton, in Hungary. I asked him about his passion, the history of his shipyard, the challenges of the life of a Hungarian boat builder... But instead of talking, I let you discover his world: www.foarboc.hu

    the webpage doesnt load

    once again we sit with a web designer that should be jailed and permanently removed from society

    please advise the owner to get another web designer

    The downfall of heavy flash based websites is that us poor petrol sniffing bandwidthers wont wait till it loads.

    You have 15-20 seconds before you rapidly start losing visitors. A developer should know better. :)

    Your not downloading something evil onto my computer are you? It seems to be taking an awful long time.

    Dear All, yes you need some patience to open the link, sorry for that. But I'm sure Mr. Juhász would answer your questions by mail, if you have any: info@foarboc.hu. Have a nice day.
