Jungle sailing

 

Eight year old grandson Lucas steers the only large sailboat in the Peruvian Amazon area that was created in 2012 by joining 3 traditional wooden boats to form a trimaran. When the breeze is blowing it moves right along powered by 3 sails.  In calm weather we use a low-emission Evinrude 6HP 4-stroke motor.  As you can see there is planty of space for 2 kayaks which we use at our various swimming beaches.
