A Zemi or Cemi is a Taíno concept, meaning both a deity, or ancestral spirit, and a sculptural object that houses the spirit. This boat was built with all the tradition and passion that is left in the Caribbean wooden boat movement. There is only one island left in the Caribbean building these amazing sailing "work boats". Carriacou is a little island north of Grenada. Alwyn Enoe and his family built this boat as they did quite a few other traditionally built vessels right on the beach in Windward. This boat is called Zemi and my wife and I feel that it is a fitting name for such a traditional vessel. We are making the rig at the moment and will sail it up home to Antigua in time for the 2010 Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. After that we will finish her below deck so that she may take us sailing around the Caribbean in comfort. Zemi may fill in for our other Carriacou Sloop "Ocean Nomad" from time to time, but it's the hope that this boat will not be part of the www.adventureantigua.com fleet. We will see.

They could do it in about 8 months if they had all the equipment there on island and you stayed on Carriacou to oversee the project. It's amazing how slow work is done when nobody is checking on the project.

It took a while for a number of reasons including the fact that we had to wait for lumber to arrive in Carriacou and also had to wait for the bronze fasteners. I think I may be selling this boat in 2012 if you or anyone is interested.
