Forget boring modern yachts with their auto-pilots and comfy cabins. For a proper ocean adventure vessel you need to go back a few centuries.
Take a dugout canoe made from a mango tree, add a bamboo mast, a sail and a couple of outriggers and you have an Ngalawa – the ultimate sailing machine.
Line up against a fleet of like-minded souls and point it towards the Indian Ocean racecourse of spice islands, deserted beaches and sand banks off the coast of Tanzania. Whilst gunning for glory, you can celebrate the fact that you’re helping do your bit to save the world too.
Welcome to the Kraken Cup, the world’s greatest sailing race.
