From DJ flap - Centuries of evolution have produced Indonesian outrigger canoes that are superbly functional and beautifully crafted. These canoes are fashioned of natural materials and because of their flexible design can withstand the continual punishment of wind and waves. This is a book about these sailing craft - where they came from, how they are built and how they are rigged and sailed. (Description by http-mart)

The hand-built outrigger canoes used by the fishermen of Bali and Madura are both technologically sophisticated and aesthetically beautiful.
