´Stability is a problem´
Jorge de Souza, editor of Nautica, Brasil, 2009
,,I sailed a jangada several times and concluded that it is not an easy boat to handle. It has only one sail and stability is a problem. Even if you are a professional sailor you might find it hard in the beginning. The boat is very simple and it is a different way of sailing than what most people are used to. The best way to arrange a trip is to go to Fortaleza or the surrounding villages and ask the hotels if they can arrange that. I think that of all the indigenous boats in the world the jangadas are the most beautiful.´´
