Ailuk Sailing Canoe

Traditional sailing canoe in Ailuk Atoll in the Marshall Islands. In 2016 there were 16 large sailing canoes being used everyday sail the 18 nm length of the atoll very day. The hulls are made of resined plywood and the outrigger is made of bread fruit tree wood. Almost very thing is held together with monofilament (fishing) line. Perfect craft for the location.
