Balangay (carbon dated 320 AD)

[jepoysaipan]

Hi,

I would like to share our oldest merchant/sail boat from the Philippines called "Balangay", my first build log from scratch.

Thanks to all the insights from my previous post which leads me in discovering this particular boat

As of now I have drawn the plan and created the sections & posts, kindly let me know if I am on the right track or need some changes before proceeding and wasting resources.

A little bit of history:

from UNESCO
from National Geographic
from Wikipedia

Some materials



The Plan (Keel & Sections)


A close view


Cheers!
