The Opelu
The photo above is of a model of the Opelu Hawaiian canoe featured in Tommy Holmes' book The Hawaiian Canoe. The model was built by Tevita Kunato who is now carving a 19 footer from an albezia log in Hawaii. Follow his progress here and here.

Very interesting rocker curve forward. I assume the crew weight is more aft than center?
Congratulations; that model is beautifully made!
