 Posted on May 28th,2008 Posted on April 2nd,2008Jangadas from Wikipedia via Indigenous Boats Many thanks to our friend Bob Holtzman over at Indigenous Boats for his nice posts on Brazilian Jangadas,traditional craft from Northeastern Brazil. I encourage you to read both:one and two. I am digging this blog –great substance here: It is a sailing raft built of [...] Posted on December 13th,2007I ran across a new (to me) blog in our little circle:“The Wooden Dory –Dedicated To The Worlds Best Wooden Boat”. It is small and gets infrequent attention,but I hope that will improve. Time was when I would have backed the subtitle wholeheartedly,at least for small boats. My tastes have now [...] Posted on December 9th,2007Location:Majuro,Marshall Islands The other night,I added a post about the return of proa racing to the Marshall Islands. Don’t you know,then,that days later,we now have some video of the 2001 races. “aqlunafoo”added a post to the Proa-file yahoo group with four interesting videos. Many thanks!

The post outlines the author’s experience watching the building of a traditional Malagasy fishing boat. It is a quick read,clearly an interested,observant,non-boatbuilder’s take on the process. No matter –she [...] Category:Boatbuilding,Larger Traditional Boats | Tags:africa,fishing boat,madagascar | 3 comments | Trackback this Post Posted on March 3rd,2007As my regular readers know (you know who you three are),I am longer on boat building desire than I am on facilities and time to actually do it. Ergo,I blog…That all changed today,however,and will again three out of the next four weekends. Courtesy of a thoughtful Christmas gift from Mrs. [...] Posted on November 7th,2006My sister recently went to Vietnam and sent us this great postcard: This is apparently a floating market,and,while no doubt somewhat touristy,this is still a country with emerging tourist infrastructure –its probably not too far off traditional maritime life. I like that there’s quite a diversity of boats,with small [...] Category:Larger Traditional Boats | Tags:dugout canoe,fishing boat,vietnam,work boat | 3 comments | Trackback this Post | ||
