What makes Jambalaya different is that she is built by hand along the lines of a traditional Caribbean cargo vessel. Jeff Stevens, owner, captain, and designer of the schooner was inspired with the idea of taking a traditional sailing vessel and outfitting it for chartering and touring during time he spent sailing in Turkey, where traditional boats take tourists along historic trade routes. He thought the same thing could be done in the Caribbean, with its long history of boat-building and cargo ships.
Building the Jambalaya: a Traditional Caribbean Schooner
Jambalaya was built in Carriacou, a historic center of the Caribbean boat-building trade, using techniques that are fast being lost to modernization. The keel is made of greenheart, a wood so dense it sinks. Wood for the framing had to be cut in the bush in Grenada -- an exhausting and painstaking process, because the wood had to be be the right shape to fit the boat. The process, which included following local strictures such as cutting the timbers only when the moon is waning, took three years, and the 65-foot schooner was finally put in the water in 2003.
