SAMOAN CANOE WITH SAIL
The hulls of Samoan canoes have a remarkable elegance - extremely profiled - and according to experts are of an ideal hydrodynamical shape. The prow takes on the profiled shape of ashark 's head while its stern ends like an elegant tail. Samoans were excellent carpenters and it is said that they first developed the method of plank-build canoes with hidden lashings. Samoans decorated their canoes with sculptures and shells.
Each model is a work of art and not an off the shelve manufactured product. They are individually crafted by the artist in Hawaii.
Price on request.
