This article is about the historic vinta boat that crossed the Indian Ocean. For the bird in Philippine mythology, see Sarimanok.

Sarimanok is a vinta that was sailed in 1985 from Bali to Madagascar across the Indian Ocean to replicate ancient seafaring techniques.[1][2][3] The ship is now at the Oceanographic Museum (Le musée du Centre National de Recherches Océanographique) of Nosy Be, an island off the northwestern coast of Madagascar.[1]

Two books have been written about the journey:[1]

  • Sarimanok by Bob Hobman, Grasset, 1989.
  • Sarimanok by Albrecht Schaefer, Goldmann, 2000.

A movie was also made:
