Tataya

Tataya are traditional small fishing boats, with or without outriggers of the Ivatan people in the Philippines.

They are generally round-hulled and powered by rowers or sails made from woven pandanus leaves.

[1] Basco and Mahatao tataya share the same fishing grounds and thus are identical in construction.

The ribs are squared and thin, while the keel (managad) and the lowest strakes (manpid) are carved from a single log.

The thole pins are fastened to a third-tier plank (pinatapid) attached to the topmost strake (pamekpekan).
