Exploring Bali - the Jukung of Sanur beach | Wicked Adventures
Channel: Wicked Adventures
Date: 10/02/2017

Wicked Adventures visits one of the unique features of Bali life - Jukung boats. 
A jukung is a small, wooden Indonesian boat. It is traditionally used for fishing, but newer uses include “Jukung Dives”, using the boat as a vehicle for small groups of SCUBA divers.

Essentially of Balinese origin, the double outrigger jukung is but one of many genre of Pacific/Asian outrigger canoes that use the lateen (triangular) sail. Whilst the lateen sail presents some difficulties in tacking into the wind, actually requiring to jibe around, a jukung is superb in its reaching ability and jybe-safe running. They are usually highly decorated and bear a marlin-like prow.
