Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The Anugara Alahi, a 16-to-17-meter traditional Indonesian Pallari replica, operates without an engine to preserve indigenous maritime heritage.4:54 Built in Tanabiru using traditional Tata Talu planking methods, the vessel features a pinisi rig with eight sails, two side-mounted rudders, and three to four tons of ballast consisting of stones and scrap iron.6:07 Steering and sail handling require manual labor, as the boat lacks winches; crew members tension lines using belaying pins and secure them with figure-eight knots.2:35 During a coastal excursion, the crew encounters adverse currents that prevent a return to the original mooring.15:28 Lacking mechanical propulsion, the captain abandons the planned route and navigates to an alternative anchorage, dropping all sails to drift into position under jib alone before deploying the anchor.15:52 The vessel serves as a documentation project for the British Museum and previously functioned as a floating library for island children.4:50 Successful operation of engine-less traditional craft requires constant assessment of wind, current, and reef proximity to maintain safe passage.
