The three-month course Henrik and Rob are teaching is focused on giving the students the skills and knowledge they need so they can go back to their homes on the outer islands and work on building their own sailing craft.<br>“Two designs were chosen to best represent a more modern approach to building – a Catamaran design loosely based on a Wharram Tiki 21 and an Australian design called a Harryproa.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The WAM project is part of RMI’s partnership in the Micronesian Sustainable Shipping Project, Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10597\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.infomarshallislands.com\/double-trouble-alson-shot\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.infomarshallislands.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/double-trouble-alson-shot.jpg?fit=630%2C376&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"630,376\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"cary evarts","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1600608639","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"double trouble alson shot\" data-image-description=\"<p>Alson Kelen, Director of WAM, Canoes of the Marshall Islands.
