The
largest of the boats in our range, the Sambuq is a real
heavyweight among wooden vessels and is capable of carrying large
cargoes between the Gulf and the Indian subcontinent.
In our model one pair of hatch covers is off to reveal cargo
in one of the vessels holds. There is also a small dinghy
stowed on the foredeck for use when the sambuq cant
tie up alongside. Designed for long voyages, it has accommodation
for its crew and it is not uncommon these days to see satellite
TV dishes perched on top of the wheelhouse. |
