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 saltwater. Polynesians developed traditional methods of navigation using wayfinding techniques and knowledge passed from generation to generation, from master to apprentice to guide their craft over thousands of miles of open ocean. Modern replicas of the Polynesian oceangoing canoe plus a few of the remaining traditional navigators have duplicated the feats of the ancient Polynesians including worldwide voyages. The Mo`okiha O Pi`ilani was some 18 years in the making. It is very similar to the Hokule`a, built on O‘ahu and launched in 1975. As Captain Tim Gilliom says, there is no need to re-invent what is already working well on Hokule`a.
