Coed sprint race at 2008 National Concrete Canoe Competition in Montreal, Quebec. A concrete canoe is a canoe made of concrete, typically created for an engineering competition. In spirit, the event is similar to that of a cardboard boat race—make the seemingly unfloatable float.
It may be smaller than Makassarese bisean boat, the weight is around 20–30 tons, similar to Buginese palari boats from 1930s. Although the hull looked like Butonese lambo, the hull does not have straight long keel, perpendicular stem and sternpost, nor western-styled central rudder (West Sulawesian lambo is using double quarter rudder).
