Named ‘Obaid’, the largest wooden Arabic dhow in the world was verified by Guinness World Records on Wednesday.
World’s largest dhow sails off the shore of Dubai
DUBAI — Named ‘Obaid’, in reference to Obaid Jumaa Bin Majid Al Falasi, an Emirati shipbuilder who began an apprenticeship at the age of nine in the mid-1940s, the largest wooden Arabic dhow in the world was verified by Guinness World Records on Wednesday (Oct. 28 2020) here.The majestic dhow measures 91.47 m long and 20.41 m wide. To visualize this, it is the length and almost half the width of a standard American football field, floating over the Indian Ocean. Hypothetically speaking, balancing this huge structure on either its bow or stern vertically would make this dhow stand almost as tall as the Big Ben in London.Building a big handmade boat in a country with no forests is a challenge, but crafting the world’s largest dhow is a challenge on a higher level. Decades on from the...
