Irish Currach in Ukraine
Irish river Currach built using river Boyne technology. The main rods are driven into the ground in an oval, and the gunwale is woven around it. The main rods are bent over into shape and tied together to create the main shape. The frame is left in the ground with a heavy weight in order to flatten the bottom of the boat. After a fortnight the frame is ready for the skin. Text (c) Billy Mag Fhloinn. Old video (c) Boyne Currach Centre.
