Informations supplémentaires

Mo‘okiha O Pi‘ilani is the newest member of the Polynesian Oceangoing Canoe fraternity, built by Hui O Wa’a Kaulua, Maui's Voyaging Society. The ancient Polynesians built similar craft from large trees which they hollowed out, connecting two in parallel with cross members to provide a stable base. The crab claw sail (AKA Oceanic lateen or sprit) was triangular in shape with spars along the upper and lower edges. Traditionally, the sails were made of woven pandanus leaves which are resilient and resistant to salt water. It is hard to express the joy of Mauians and Mauians-at-heart — this was a very special day.
