Forget boring modern yachts with their auto-pilots, comfy cabins. For a proper ocean adventure vessel we need to go back a few centuries. Take a dugout canoe made from a mango tree, add a bamboo mast, a sail, couple of outriggers and we have a Ngalawa – the ultimate sailing machine!
The islands are lush green, pristine white sand beaches, teeming coral reefs. Exotic barracudas, dolphins, sharks, manta rays to name a few. Zanzibar has plenty of beach bars, party spots, places that feel remote, romantic and wild.
Line up against a fleet of like-minded souls, point it towards the Indian Ocean racecourse of Spice Islands, deserted beaches, sand banks off coast of Tanzania.
Kraken Cup, world’s greatest sailing race!
