Great prize Steve, thanks for the photos to go with! I've been intrigued by those jangada in your photos since I learned of them in high school. The construction is so simple, I thought it might be the only sailboat I would be able to readily build! I didn't know at the time the kind of winds they dealt with and for extended periods offshore. Nor did I know the balsa timbers comprising the hull sucked up so much water! Tough people on a beautiful coast, great for kiting too!
