Description
This is an outrigger canoe of classic Hawaiian design. Classes of these craft are very popular, especially in places like New Zealand where they are raced in various lengthsâthis example being one of the shortest. They are noted for their stability and carrying capacity in use both off shore and inland and are sometimes seen carrying a simple sailâa very versatile craftâthe main hull can be built in 2 halves. Construction is simple stitch and tape and the beams are tied to the hulls
