| dc.description | This report gives an account of the successful attempts to develop and introduce a new type of outrigger canoe for the benefit of small-scale fisherfolk in Shri Lanka, who had been traditionally using dugouts called orus. It summarizes the activities of canoe construction and training of carpenters, demonstration, fishing and long-term fishing trials and discusses the impact and prospects for further development. The work was undertaken from late 1988 till early 1993 as a subproject under BOBP’s “Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities” project GCP/RAS/l 18/MUL. The Boatbuilder Consultant assisting in construction of prototype canoes and training of carpenters was O Gulbrandscn, from Norway. | |
