Arman has built so many boats that he can’t accurately recall the number of projects he has been involved with.

Man began working as boat builder at age 14, assisting his father and older brothers. During the construction process, what Man most enjoyed was stacking wood: a task, he says, that involves the whole team, working together as one. “Everyone strains to handle the heavy, dense wood, counts and laughs together and all are happy when the job is done well.”
