Ghana Wa'apa

Christopher Collins has built and is sailing his Wa'apa in Ghana, West Africa.  The ama is inflatable and most of the spars are bamboo.


He is using a double lug shunting rig.  You can see more photos on his blog:  http://ghanawaapa.blogspot.com/

  1. GREAT use of bamboo, love the clear everywhere , and the schooner rig used to simplify the shunting proa system looks to me to be the best yet. OK I can't spell but have been sailing and getting more and more fun out of it since 1958. Mostly schooners, sloops, canoes ect.

  2. I went sailing in Croatia last year and it was the greatest experience. That was my first time sailing and I loved it!
