Fiji Fleet

 

Colin Philp and his workers of the Uto ni Yalo trust  in Fiji have built a trial 

shunting version of my Tamanu design. 

 

The ultimate goal is to build 100 canoes.

 

These traditional sailing canoes are destined for fishing communities, ecotourism livelihoods as well as to share their seafaring culture with children through a structured learning program.
