Description: | Model shore seine fishing boat locally named in Sri Lanka as mā-dӓl-pāru or madel paruwa. Flat bottomed hull formed of three planks sewn together with a chine strake and one vertical washstrake sewn either side. The planks are fastened with linking stitches in a cross pattern followed by a vertical stitch over caulking in the interior of the hull. The model contains thwarts, two ‘end boards’ (transverse planks at bow and stern), a roof made from leaves and two raised sections in the washstrakes either side with holes bored in. These holes could be used to attach a transverse lifting beam to carry the vessel onto the beach.
