A unique luxury two-masted lateen-rigged dhow, designed principally for charter, this boat will appeal to those wishing to experience coastal cruising in an atmosphere of grace and elegance. Built in the Gulf of Kutch, she is entirely of traditional wooden construction: Malaysian shoria robusta below W/L, Burmese teak above, and Malabar hardwood masts. Originally these boats would only sail with the monsoon winds, so the addition of two marine diesel engines has given her more flexibility to cruise.
