Shopteli is proud to present the Hawaiian Canoe model.

Outrigger canoe racing rose to popularity as a sport in Hawaii during the early 1900s. Now, you can display this exquisite Hawaiian canoe model in your home or office.

Master craftsmen meticulously handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch using historical photographs, drawings, and original plans. They are built to scale with high-grade wood such as western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. Each canoe is 100% hand-built using the plank-on-frame construction method, which closely resembles the building of actual ships. Every model demands many hours to complete and must undergo a rigorous quality control process before leaving the workshop. This model was assembled by joining numerous wood strips and rests on a wooden stand with a brass nameplate. It makes an ideal gift for a home or office decorator, boat enthusiast, or avid collector. For easy shipping, the mast and sails are folded down.

The Hawaiian outrigger canoe is just one of the hundreds of outrigger types found throughout the Oceania region, which includes Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. The stabilizing framework, attached to the canoe hull using traditional lashing techniques with cordage, consists of two iako or spars, to which the ama or float is connected at the outer ends. Many traditional skills are associated with rigging and paddling outrigger canoes. In terms of rigging, expertise in lashing techniques and the trim of the ama and iako relative to the canoe are skills that can take years of experience to master. It is this adherence to tradition that makes outrigger canoe racing and paddling unique in a world where many cultural traditions and recognitions have been eroded.
