China DailyJohn Hearne, founder of Doyle Sailmakers Co Ltd, is from Australia and has been engaged in sailmaking for many years. He is quite optimistic about China's market environment for sailing, which is conducive to maintaining the global competitiveness of the company's products, meanwhile, a booming sailing industry in China also provides wide prospects for the company's development. At the age of 7, while children of the same age were obsessed with toy cars, John got to know about sailing, which gradually became his hobby and later, his career. Setting his sights on Qingdao as a new starting point for his career, he believes that China has huge market potential. When he first came to Qingdao, he and his teammates could easily win the sailing competitions.
