Indonesia archipelago is an ideal place for sailing due to its vast number of islands and pristine waters full of exotic animals and plants lives. You can explore the nameless tiny islands that would be virtually impossible to reach even for the most interpid traveler. Untouched pristine beaches, uninhabited islands with its blue water and white sandy beaches, and some of the world's best dive sites are yours to explore. This country is a dream world for travellers but it is in its eastern half, from Flores to Irian Jaya, far from the crowds of Java, Bali, and even Sumatra, that thousands of undisturbed small islands are waiting for the tropical seas and lands explorer. The pinisi are elegant two-masted schooners with sails, top-sails and three jibs. Today, while still hand-built by native craftmen and fully laid in teak wood with traditional riggings, they usually hold an engine in addition to the sails. The traditional Pinisi design and sailing characteristics have been specially built to meet the requirements of modern travelers for comfort and safety.
