Big Traditional Canoe in Tahiti

Posted by on 07/25 at 07:09 PM
In Tahiti, a twenty meter va'a motu named 'Te Ara Taura' is being built to an ancient pattern in Koa wood. "I want to revive traditional navigation in the Polynesian triangle and encourage the vacant youth to travel in the wake of their ancestors", says Clement Pito, originator of the project. The outrigger canoe will set sail in July 2006. Tahiti Press
