Rarotonga has a huge tourist industry but there is still plenty of beautiful empty spaces.

By pure chance I was in Tahiti in 1976 when the Hokulea arrived from its first voyage. I was in the crowd of thousands when it put into the beach. Later I recorded some songs off the local radio station that were written about the arrival.

The wa'apa is not my canoe so I don't know why it is set that way. My own hull was like the plan.
I just noticed you have the mast at the front of the first hull and it looks like your leeboard is at the rear of the first hull. Is this correct? This is the configuration for the 16’ setup but yours seems to be a 24’ setup. The 24’ tacking rig in your book has the mast at the front of the 2nd hull iirc?
More of these please Gary! Great inspiration. My wa’apa build has been paused for some months but I should get some time here soon.
1997 1992 I LOVE YOU GOD
Shunting in principle seems more sound than tacking for the simple reason you're never in irons. What happens in a row when gybing?
All the answers are here: www.amazon.com/Building-Outrigger-Sailing-Canoes-Construction/dp/0071487913/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1654HN2VK41H1&dchild=1&keywords=building+outrigger+sailing+canoes&qid=1600825012&sprefix=Building+outrigger%2Caps%2C348&sr=8-1
Wow that's beautiful
Beautiful! Have you built Tamanu for the occasion, as on Fiji?🙂
We just spent six wonderful weeks in this cabin.
Now living in the Philippines I am nearing the completion of my T2. From the book it appears the Oceanic Lateen sail Yard butt rest inside the Dashboards but this video shows it does not. I am considering the higher mast to allow clearing the dashboard and securing the tackline inside. Is this possible? It would seem to me to be more secure when under sail and relieving stress on the mast backstays.
Yes, you can rest the butt of the yard inboard at the bow. Usually you will have to place it there by moving to the bow to seat it. The video demonstrates a method where you don't have to move from your seat.
Nice to hear from you. Thankyou for taking the time to respond. I have been studying your designs for years. I built several wood strip canoes back in the US. Now I have retired with the family to the straits of Cebu in the Philippines so I could build the T2 and sail between the nearby Philippine Islands. I am going with the Gibbon rig instead since seeing you video. It looks much smoother. I am just now building the mast, boom and yard so no problem to change over.
Beautiful place there
Love you my you yokwe was the one ☝️ my one 💕 1997 of 1992

Where can you purchase your full-size plans?
Gary? Are you still with us?
@@allrockfarmllc9909 Yes I'm still around. Do you need plans?
@@vakaman I would like to build a voyaging style Polynesian canoe. Have you come up with anything along that lines?
This way, the point of pressure shifts upward and forward...

Hi Gary! Nice to see that you are posting again! I have read your book and followed your and other proa channels for years now. But I haven’t been able to prioritize enough time to build one and instead sailed two different Hobies. I have had real nice sailing, but the dream is still there. When I finally manage to start building I would like to build a shunting proa. But it would have to have a rig that is easy to reef. What kind of rig would you recommend? Would it be possible to put a junk rig on a shunting proa? Or how do you go about to easily reef other sail options like the crab claw sail? It would be nice with a few words on the topic here, but even better with a video where you talk about it a bit. Or a link to one if you’ve already made one and I unfortunately have missed it. Best wishes!
There is a guy in Europe that built some junk rigged proas: proafile.com/multihull-boats/article/lashunk-the-shunting-junk-rig-from-balkan-shipyards You can bundle up the bottom of a lateen rig like in this video: ua-cam.com/video/dMtVBOccQBA/v-deo.html Also a better method of reefing a crab here: outriggersailingcanoes.blogspot.com/2013/09/reef-that-crab.html
@@vakaman Thank you! I follow Rael Dobkins and Balkan Shipyards, but I have completely missed his junk rig plans. And the other two solutions are also very interesting. Great! Thanks again! 🤙😊
So I am guessing your hull is your lateral resistance?
Yes, it’s a deep bee with a flatter side to leeward.
@@vakaman gotcha How much do you draw with that deep V?
@@jasonnabors7377 A little less than a foot with me onboard.
not bad for a homemade , I guess. I would like a little more flotation on something that heavy..

Okey dokey 👍 after seeing where the concept originated from
"Just turn ya fool!" 🤣
Yes I did at the time, but this is a very old video.
Did you fix the hole in the hull then?
Beautiful Gary, I want to build mine this year and try in a lagoon close to my house. I bought your book a few years ago and want to do this one. Is it possible to extend the hull to 32 ft and do a small cofin cabin?
You would be the first to go for 32 ft, so I can't comment on how it would work out. Two 16' sections would be better than four 8' sections.
@@vakaman agree.
ЗдОрово! Два варианта вооружения!

Add a second ama.
Can't find the plans anywhere...

Thank you.... I am the same guy from facebook
This looks like quite a brilliant design. It looks like it would have many of the advantages of a junk rig (easy reefing, light luff tension) but also a very good lift to drag ratio, given the high aspect ratio, and smooth sail shape. It doesn't have any balance area so it would have a hard gybe, but doesn't have need a massive boom either. the sheetlets and lazy jacks would make more drag than a modern squaretop sail but this looks much lower stress. What are the batons made from? are they just regular fiberglass sail batons?
ah I saw your other comment that this was a sail from a tornado.
The battens were taken from old windsurf sails. I did add a roller furling jib later.
Seems like I sailed the exact same canoe on leluvia a few month ago. Unfortunately it's quite rotten now and missing it's mast :(
Yes,they were built in a hurry for the Eco Challenge and suffered a shortage of epoxy and good quality plywood. Very sad.
That's gorgeous. What's her pedigree?
Built by Miller and Tunnage in the South Island of New Zealand a long time ago. It was used as a fisheries patrol vessel.
That would look right at home up here in the Salish Sea (US)!!! What a beauty! @@vakaman
You don't see many boats that look like this. Everything looks right. You did good.
She’s not mine, I’m just an admirer.
She is a Beauty Gary!
Where can I get the plans for this canoe? I have the book but it doesn’t include the plans for this canoe.

makes a great case for the tacking canoe esp when getting through stays with a unirig which I could never do.
The curved up stern rocker made it turn quite easily. I don't think I ever blew a tack.
Love the acceleration coming out of the tacks
Cool! 😎
Oh my! You are a very funny man! This video shows that you also excel at building , planning, and pedagogy.
Currently working from your book to build a shunting wa’pa and can truly anticipate the majesty of these movements.
There is a small modification for ama mounted leeboards if you choose to locate it there. www.dropbox.com/s/d8hxcsxtoctsi8w/Waapa-ama-strut.jpg?dl=0
Hi Gary my journey of being inspired by outrigger canoes in Vanuatu and designing my own nz version on paper has led me to you. It's amazing how much you've already paved the way and gone through the same ideas I have had many years before me. I would love to get in touch
If you search my name on Facebook, you can use Messenger.
It might have been the music but that brown sail switcheroo was beautiful to watch
It’s near the Kona, Hawaii airport.
OK, where is it/what's it called?
Really Great! Love this Ulua design - really nice work. I have your book and just trying to decide what to do first. Thanks, much respect!
Thanks Gary. I was just looking for this video yesterday.
looks like brazilians.
No gas needed, low cost, etc. Most important aspect is no noise while trowling for tuna, wahoo, mahi, etc.
Read your book. More videos!
