Lamu Dhow Colour
The Swahili Dhows of Lamu, Kenya, hold a timeless charm and cultural significance. Traditional Lamu dhows are instantly recognizable by their graceful, curved hulls and distinctive triangular lateen sails. These sails, made from canvas or cloth, are hoisted high on wooden masts, and their design allows dhows to navigate efficiently against the monsoon winds. The boats are constructed primarily from local wood, such as mvule (African teak), making them resilient against the ocean’s saltwater.
