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 lengths—this 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 sail—a very versatile craft—the
main hull can be built in 2 halves. Construction is simple
stitch and tape and the beams are tied to the hulls

hull beam 1’7” (0.49m); Overall beam 5’11”
(1.8m) Approx. wht 140 lbs (64kg) in 6mm ply.
