Mala is a flat bottomed as they come, traditionally build with thick planks and a generous rocker to the bottom.
Apart from the straight stem she has the look of Atkin's cabin Boy tender, My guess is that she's a stable and with minimal draft an ideal craft for getting ashore in the shallows where the tidal range can be 5 meters.

ReplyDeleteShe's well adapted to all forms of propulsion. Despite (or even because of) her workboat appearance, she's an attractive tender. You know me well, Max.
