First Pilot Communities: Tonga, Vanuatu, Fiji

Each village that receives an Amatasi 27 vessel will go through a vetting process that makes sure that it is needed, wanted, and the islanders are committed to taking care of it. Beyond this, the pilot program meaningfully integrates community members themselves alongside our volunteers throughout the scouting, building and integration process—participating in learning everything from maintenance to sailing—and goes home equipped to help other community members learn and develop these skills as well.

We are currently scouting and selecting our pilot communities in each of these island areas and will be working with our volunteer crews to gather first hand knowledge and evaluation of our candidates in these locations.
