VAKA

VAKA is one person building boats from natural materials, testing what works, and documenting it honestly. The builds. Skin on frame canoes, catamarans, proas — designed, built, tested, The Plans. Once the boats are sea tested, the plans are finalised and posted. The Field Notes. Extensive research into regenerative practices. This is a live project, with experiments and tests documented, everything from waterproof milk glue formulations to making and navigating with a kamal
