Historical
Exists about 25 thousand years the canoes were already essential part in life of the civilizations of Pacific Ocean. The first vessels were bamboo rafts with candles done of junco, which colonized Filipinas and Indonesia's Islands and afterwards Melanésia and Australia. Twenty-five thousand years passed so that the marine technology allowed the arrival of the first colonizers to Polynesia. The sea open demanded that the hulls of the boats went larger and resistant and for that was necessary that went dug of an unique trunk. enxó, small hoe with stone blade, shell or jade to carve wood was what it allowed that nautical advance. enxó was considered a religious and consecrated instrument, being blessed in rites and venerated by the marine civilizations.
The trees in Polynesia were selected by priests in function of his spirit, or "sister", and blessed before your cut. The first indentation was also accomplished with an enxó consecrated ceremonial followed by Kahuna's New Blessing kalai Wa´the (kind of priest). After carved the canoe was again blessed in a ceremonial of called protection Pui I Ka Wa´to before following for Kalaiwa's House´the (builder by canoes), where would be concluded. The canoe was and still is considered a consecrated object.
The ceremony accomplished at dawn calls WaiKai (blessing of the water) and at this moment is important that all the presents liberate of the negative thoughts so that the collective spirit be transposed for the canoe. Before the beginning of the ceremony the participants introduce and manifest their thoughts and wishes for the future of the canoes.
Soon after we initiate Haka (dance ritual). After this ritual, it is brought for Koa's Cuia Made (hawaiian consecrated wood). In her are mixed fresh water and salty. Fresh water represents the water that fed the tree and salt water symbolizes the final dwelling of the canoe: the sea. Looking the mountains initiates Mele (corner).
After to the Mele, Kahu (priest) carrying grip around of the semicircle of people and, wetting leaves in cuia, it plays water in the trunk and head of each participant. Unceasingly your corner, the priest follows in direction to Halau (it marries of the canoe) and it blesses, not only the dwelling, but also the ground where the canoes rest. when finishing, Kahu comes back to the circle and drinks the remaining of water in cuia.
The current hawaiian canoe descends of the traditional canoes fishing hawaiian. in spite of being projected for oar, it is possible the addition of a mast and candle to agree the oar propulsion to the candle. (Source: www.canoahavaiana.com.br)
The Canoe
The Hawaiian Canoe there is more than 3.000 years ago, and always was used to lead the peoples and your culture for other places. Originally, this kind of vessel was propulsionada to the candle and oar, what we allowed navigate during the day and at night. The addition of the hull double in the structure of the canoe increased your performance in high sea, turning outrigger an unequaled partner-cultural important instrument in the culture of the Islands of Pacific.
Great distances runninged through at sea open made such vessel became mystic and consecrated for these peoples, because in that time, the garrisons ventured at the sea in search of new islands and your family almost always did not obtain news neither they were sure of the success and whether these pioneering had or not reached islands with best earths. The adventurous rowers were selected for finger, chosen with much criterion, it's given preference to the stronger and with fat considerable level in the body to can stand a rigid diet of several days rowing, this resulted in a biotipo only found in the more distant islands as Hawaii.
From this evolutionary process culminated the appearance of the Hawaiian Canoe or Outrigger, form as it is called in Hawaii. Also known as hawaiian catamaran, she measures 14 meters in length, has 90 width and height cm, could reach speed of 9 we (17 km/h), it characterizes for have mixed propulsion, the hull double sustained atravéz of two yakos straight turns the stable and certain vessel, already the canoe with hull only or simple has your supported balance to a denominated lateral float "loves", also is interlinked to this for two yakos curved in wood, with this, demands larger practice and work in set of the team because the instability is larger.
Nowadays, outrigger divides into two distinct categories: oar category and candle and oar category. The vessel used in the two modalities is basically the same, and in the competition to the candle, are added a third hull and a mast, which supports a triangular very similar candle to of a Brazilian raft. Already in the oar category, two outrigger classes dispute the best times: the class MalÌa and the class Long Boat. The class MalÌa has her origin in the wooden vessel koa, created by Takeo-Yamazaki, in 1933. In 1954, it was built the first mold in glass fiber. (Source: www.canoahavaiana.com.br)
