A wooden kumpit is generally from forty to sixty feet long, but occasionally can reach one hundred feet in length. It usually has only one
deck covering the hold. It is used for inter-island transportation. Its design gives it a very shallow draft which is useful
in calm waters with reefs. Sibutuh is famous for its quality boat making, as well as its skilled boat builders.
