How many people can this dhow carry?
The sea trials later in the year will tell us more, but for our journey, we believe that the crew will need to be about 12-20 people to run the ship.
But how many people the ship could actually carry depends on how uncomfortable they are prepared to be, and how far they were sailing without a resupply stop. A ship this size may have been able to carry up to about 50.
