Local outrigger canoe

Local outrigger canoe

This is a kind of outrigger canoe.Most of the fishermen are using  it for catching fish in the river or lagoon, and some of them are using for transport services.It was made it by fiber and the balance is maintained by a float bar which connected with two long and strong sticks. However, it has some risk for fishermen whom they can't use it on rainy days and wind days. Its not safety one.
