Boatbuilding Indian Style


Recommended Posts

Took these photos on the Ghats in Varanasi India. The shed in background was used as a weight after soaking planks one end was stuck undereath and other end bent up onto a strut and left overnight to bend.  Impressive lack of tools.

Same method in Sri Lanka - saw them building a 100 ft vessel. No plans, just what they consider looks right. Virtually completely traditional, but with some comparatively modern adhesives.
