Mikaela, the Carolinian-style outrigger sailing canoe with a main hull and outrigger hull made of fiberglass, was built by the master navigator from Polowat, Mario Benito, and the members of 500 Sails. Mikaela was launched in Saipan on March 9, 2024, then was shipped to Hawaii where the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture would be held.
