Lakatoi (whose literal meaning is three dugouts) are fashioned from two or more dugout logs fastened together to give stability and cargo-carrying capacity.[1] The two or more dugouts are joined by booms, with a platform built on top.[4] The sail is a
crab-claw sail.[5] Horridge (2008)[6] discusses the rig and how the craft is manouvred.
