Four camakaus raced in the first of an annual race held in Suva, Fiji on the 23 rd of January. Thanks to Michael Koch of Savusavu for the photos. The blue tarp sail won most of the races.
Just spent the last month researching these beautiful canoes...made a 22" model out of koa, breadfruit, ebony and burnt walnut complete with working mat sail. A wonderful experience...these canoes were amazing! I'll send you a pic as soon as I finish up with the base. cheers,
Gotta give style points to the "rice bag" sail.
