I remember the excitement of my grandson when he was told that I will take him to the movies to watch “WA’A MOANA” i \
I shared his excitement but for another reason. Indeed “MOANA” was sailing what looked to me to be a Fijian Kamakau which is one of the finest type of sailing outrigger canoe ever designed. I was eager to make a model of it.
The model was completed in September 2021.
