Visayan Banka 50' (Tunkil)

Designer: Mike Allen

Another of our big bankas, but built with two walk-in refrigerated holds to carry perishables to the owner's remote island resort. The freestanding spritsails were intended to be auxiliary power to the locally marinized 6 cylinder diesel. After a couple of unprofitable years hauling veggies, and an unfortunate encounter with a coral reef, the boat was returned to us for rebuilding and converted into a dive charter/ferry arrangement and is seeing daily use ferrying tourists to one of the Philippines most exotic resorts.
