The stabilizing framework attached to the canoe hull across canoe spreader bars by means of traditional lashing techniques using cordage  consists of two iako or spars  at the outer end of which the ama or float is attached. Many traditional skills are associated with the practicing of both the rigging and paddling of outrigger canoes. In relation to rigging  skill and knowledge of lashing techniques and the trim of the ama and iako in relation to the canoe are skills that can take many years of experience. It is this adherence to tradition that makes outrigger canoe racing and paddling unique in a world where many traditions and cultural recognition have been eroded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eIn the early 1900s outrigger canoe racing became a popular sport in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHave this beautiful Hawaiian canoe model display in your own home or office\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaster craftsmen handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch using historical photographs, drawings and original plan\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThey are built to scale with high-grade wood such as: western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThey are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method and are similar to the building of actual ships\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eEach model requires many hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThis model was constructed by putting together many strips of wood\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIt rests on a wooden stand with a brass nameplate\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIt will be a perfect gift for home or office decorator, boat enthusiast, or passionate collector\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMast and sails are folded down for easy shipping\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Old Modern Handicrafts Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397899370684,"sku":"OMHI-B012","price":241.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/3832\/2364\/files\/51Z7mzxXGkL.jpg?v=1788354055","url":"https:\/\/store.virventures.com\/products\/hawaiian-canoe","provider":"Virventures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
