        <guid>https://www.brava.news/en/wooden-sailboats-of-island-brava-a-journey-through-time</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ On the remote Ilha Brava, located in the Cape Verde archipelago, a maritime legacy lasts for decades, testifying to the skill and devotion of its builders and the intrepid journey of their vessels. About twenty sailboats, all built with wooden hulls, were meticulously crafted between the years 1900 and 1950 in Porto da Furna, on Ilha Brava. These ships were intended to transport passengers and cargo between the various islands in the region, with some of them having the capacity to make trips to the African coast. Among these gems, the last surviving example, the &amp;quot;Carvalho,&amp;quot; launched in 1938. This is the fascinating story of the wooden sailboats of Ilha Brava and their lasting influence on the culture and maritime history of Cape Verde. ]]></description>

Medina warns that the situation is serious, defending that &amp;quot;the authorities must speak the truth&amp;quot; to Cape Verdeans. &amp;quot;The situation is serious and the authorities must tell us the truth, so that we know how far we are with this colossal failure, this mess, which is also Homeric! It is an obligation, a moral duty of AAC, TACV and the state shareholder who have to clarify the country, the taxpayers&amp;quot;, he stresses in the mentioned post that we publish below. ]]></description>
