| No, but I do love to wear Hawaiian shirts. |

The opposite side of the mast and spreader. It was a fun project. Lots of research beforehand, and learned some new skills. Never a bad thing. |

Mast detail. You can see how the sail is tied to the mast, and the woven pattern. |

| my cousin lives in hawaii. do you have relations with there? |

Mast attachment detail. Not sure if this is prototypical, but it follows how the rest of the boat is assembled. |

I made this model for my friend who is turning his patio into a Tiki lounge. I thought is needed some more atmosphere to go with his woodworking and waterfall. |

| I showed this to my boss who thought it would make cool light sconces. |

The completed canoe. |

A small hole was drilled into the booms, and the end of a toothpick added to allow the rope an anchor to tie around. All the thread was run through a block of beeswax before use. |

The outrigger added.All the wood received several layers of Minwax Polyurethane with lots of sanding in between coats. Final sanding was 600 and 1000 grit paper with a final buff coat of a paper towel, which gives the wood a nice soft sheen. Not too glossy. |

After it was cut out I added looped stitching along the edges so it could get tied to the masts later. |

To give it a curve (these are called "crab claw" sails) I used 3M Spray Mount to affix the paper back to back. White glue caused it to wrinkle. As it was drying I wrapped it around a paper towel roll so it would retain the curve. |

The real sails were woven matts, about 16" wide. I found a matt pattern on the inter webs and scaled it to my needs. Over a printed base sheet I added each row, overlapping a bit so it suggests the seams where the matts were sewn together. |

The parts ready for assembly. The bottom piece of cloth was what was provided in the kit. Not very prototypical. My new sail is the triangular piece. |

In some canoes, the Wae was attached with rope. |

The bow is more refined. Sharp knifed are essential. Also shown is the "Wae" or spreader, that the outrigger booms are attached to. |
