For sixty-five years James Wharram has designed, built, and sailed craft of Polynesian double canoe form, demonstrating that the sea, far from being a barrier between the islands of the South Pacific, is their highway. The ocean voyages of James and his team culminated in their circumnavigation in the stunning 63ft 'Spirit of Gaia', during which they explored the lands and cultures of their vessel's spiritual home - the Polynesian islands. Inspired by the lifetime of creativity and discovery James describes in this book, many modern 'People of the Sea' are sailing the world's oceans, seas, coasts and rivers in craft they have built for themselves to James Wharram designs.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 475gAuthor: James WharramGenre: BiographyTopic: Sports & HobbiesRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
