A jangada ( jəng-GAH-də; Portuguese: [ʒɐ̃ˈɡadɐ]) is a wooden fishing boat or sailing raft used in the northern region of Brazil. The construction of the jangada incorporates some improvements in Neolithic handcraft – better materials were found and the physics of sailing was better observed through experimentation.
