Product History

Tradition demands that only a team of craftsmen working in unison may produce a study wooden Dhoni. One will lead a team of builders to create this traditional sea vessel all without a single drawing or written document – all from memory. The master craftsman guides the team, and more often than not, creates a masterpiece that sails the Maldivian seas.

The arrival of fibreglass have done little to stem the demand for boats built of timbre – one can still see several such vessels throughout the country.

Individual craftsmen, inspired by this age old craft, have produce miniature dhonis for several years now.
