I found this Balinese jukung on a recent visit to Hawaii. It had a
fiberglass hull and a transom for an outboard.
The most interesting part is the joint in the crossbeams that produces the "gullwing" shape. The scarf joint had a dowel through it and some lashings. I could not tell if any glue was used.
they use glue... epoxy nowadays... the lashings are usually really heavy monofilament in a turks head drawn up very snug. You can still find traditional looking Jukungs on the road to Padang Bai from Sanur.
ReplyDeleteI saw that boat behind the surf and sea in Haleiwa! Very cool. Hope you ate at Opal Thai--that place is spectacular.
