Galaide' or Sakman?

Photos obtained from Guampedia.

A common "misinterpretation" on Guam are the canoes.

A galaide' is an outrigger canoe used within the reef and in shallow waters and with no sail.

A sakman is an outrigger canoe with a sail and is used in deeper waters beyond the reef; it is used as transportation for long voyages.
