Sailing is at the heart of island life — shaping trade, community, and daily routines across these remote Pacific islands 🌴. From a young age, children learn the art of sailing, often starting with handmade toy sailboats as their first lesson on the water. 🌊 Experience this island tradition in Clay Pot Fire Cooked Feast (Ep22) on Once Upon A Reef. 👇 Subscribe for more reef stories and island adventures. 💙 Support the journey on Patreon! #OnceUponAReef #PapuaNewGuinea #IslandAdventure #TropicalVibes #PNG #OceanAdventure #PacificIslands #NatureLovers #OffGridLiving #SailingLife #IslandCulture #ToySailboats #HiddenParadise #CommunityLife #TraditionalSkills
Power catamarans have twin engines. That makes them much safer than a conventional single engined powerboat. It also makes them very manouverable. Here I am turning our Skoota 28 in circles without using the steering wheel. You can see the engines are in line, turning is achieved by putting one engine in reverse, the other in forward gear I'm not very good at it yet! In part because the engine thrust in forward is much greater than in reverse, (because the exhaust goes through the propeller), so the throttle in forward needs a delicate touch You can build your own Skoota 28 in plywood from plans by Woods Designs, see more at www.sailingcatamarans.com
