Marshall Islands - Traditional Canoe Sailing and Fishing

[@islandvibez]

Very similar to the Paraw boats and the bangka. The sails also look the same. Very cool.

[@jjruder]

Beautiful, amazing, grateful for you and the people of RMI!

[@islandguy6928]

I'm very proud to be a Rimajol.Our sea culture still thrives.

[@rickrry]

What is the name of this song please.

[@proasisproject]

I don't know but it's about the traditional canoe

[@islandguy6928]

@@rickrry An oldie music but the lyrics goes back to ancient times. I’m not sure what the title is but it’s about the beauty of a canoe and how bless we are to engineer such watercraft. Canoes are foundations of pacific island culture. Without it we are noting.

[@tetaakeyeeting4532]

That's a longnose emperor of the species name of Lethrinus elongatus Valenciennes. We call it in Kiribati te rou. What is your sail made of?

[@proasisproject]

Thank you! Just old polytarp from home depot :D

[@doraexplora9046]

@@proasisproject Hahahaha.. so very special fabric then!

[@yearsago-dx9yn]

Sail canvas available from eBay or Amazon. Or if you want t go old school just weave some coconut fibers together to make one.

[@rmi6924]

Jalia is the name of the fish *if I'm right*

[@annalik6332]

Good job lajimma Noah you remind me when I grow up in Jaluit during 1960 and sailing around the islands Kommol tata im lewoj Iakwe im jeramon waj nan baamle ne.

[@proasisproject]

Komol tata!

Great sailboat! Any plans somewhere? I'm french, living in Bangladesh and building canoes these days... Here all fishing boats have turned to diesel... I'd be really pleased to show its possible to fish with a sail! Greetings

Title of this song please? It is very nice.

What was the digital instrument on the mast?

[@proasisproject]

Its a Speedpuck gps. We measured the canoes performance to create polar plots.

[@paraworth]

Beautiful boat

[@proasisproject]

Indeed, Marshallese ingenuity 🇲🇭

[@doraexplora9046]

Geees that thing moves for such a basic rig. You would never need an outboard on those islands if you can get around this quickly!

[@proasisproject]

Paddles quite easy too!

[@ButterflyMatt]

How are you steering?

[@proasisproject]

A rudder with tiller is mounted on the stern of this canoe. Steering paddles are used on others as well

Lethrinus laticaudis Common name grass emperor, aka sweetlips en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethrinus_laticaudis

[@juemuri5448]

die wahre art des segelns ?...nur den mast anders stellen und schon kann man mit diesen boote kreuzen ohne hin-und herfahren zu müssen

[@proasisproject]

I don't see how. There is nothing to improve on this design. My opinion as naval architect and small craft designer.
