	The Nation's What's On Guide
		The arrival of the Arabian dhow fleet at the Kenyan coast between January and April caused a flurry of activity in Mombasa.
		Today, as the era of the dhow trade passes, a whole culture is fading into history, and the knowledge and the legends that were handed down from father to son are slowly dying.
		Dhow rigs were generally similar, with the huge triangular white canvas sail raked backwards along a wooden boom, and secured to the mast by a morass of rope, blocks and pulleys.

	Dhow - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		DHOW, the name given to a type of vessel used throughout the Arabian Sea.
		According to the New English Dictionary the place of origin may be the Persian Gulf, assuming that the word is identical with the lava mentioned by Athanasius Nikitin (India in the 15th Century, Hakluyt Society, 1858).
		Though the word is used generally of any craft along the East African coast, it is usually applied to the vessel of about 150 to 200 tons burden with a stem rising with a long slope from the water; dhows generally have one mast with a lateen sail, the yard being of enormous length.

	Dhows of the Arabian Gulf - a brief introduction
		Like the Windtower, the dhow is synonymous with the Gulf, and it is probably one of the most widely-recognised icons of Arab culture, known to millions who have never travelled in the region.
		No expatriate who has never been to sea on a working dhow (as opposed to the custom-built floating restaurant kind) can truly be said to have completed his or her experience of life in the Gulf.
		Although modern dhows get their motive force from big diesel engines rather than the wind, the trading dhows still have teak masts (these are typically raked forward a few degrees) which are used for loading and unloading cargo.

		Dhows are the traditional sailing vessels of Arabia, and are made mostly of teak wood (Saj), which is is used for planking, keel, stem, stern, and masts.
		Dhow building (Al Qalafa) is a process which originally involved tying wooden planks together using palm tree fronds.
		This is the dhow that effectively defended Arab trading in the Gulf, and prompted the British to burn Ras Al Khaimah to the ground in 1809.
