The Boat

Traditional Build, Modern Inside

The phinisi is a hull shape South Sulawesi shipwrights have been building for generations. Pinta keeps the form and rebuilds everything above it.

Ironwood and teak, two masts, and a minimalist interior that leaves the timber visible rather than covering it.
