THE SAMPAN LAYAR
Crewed by the Orang Suku Laut from Berakit, Naga Langit, the air dragon is a 7 meter Traditional sampan layar built for racing.
The art is unfortunately disappearing, but a few yearly races remain in Riau. The aim is to revive the art, both in exhibition sailing, and eventually racing provincially. In addition, we also have a small sampan, that can be sailed alone or with two people if the wind gets to 20 knots and above. |
