Hi Maunie, Thanks for taking video from Fulaga. I'm from Fulaga and we are also venturing into projects in trying to get funding and support for the preservation of canoe making in Fulaga. Grateful, if you can allow us to use your footage for our proposal and promotions. Vinaka Navi Halofaki

Navitalai Halofaki Just returned from 7 weeks in Fulaga where we helped with the build and launch of Meli's canoe with his brothers Mini and Alifereti. Have a look at www.maunieofardwall.blogspot.com for photos and we'll post a new video soon Regards, Graham

I was going to add the comment "I want Meli's hat!" but I see I commented here two years ago that "I want that hat."

[@mesomebody774]

Can this sail in the ocean or is it a small coastal boat?

[@josephtrainor3471]

Anybody know what the the part off to the side of the boat is called?

[@Maunie38]

No No in English we’d just call it an outrigger but the Fijian name is cama

[@vaqerecolati6743]

its called "cama" for balanacing the canoe under any weather circumstances

[@lukalukacic8098]

Great video! What was the music used?

Youd be best off building a catamaran it is the ship that evolved from this model. We have been using this model in the pacific for over 10.000 years and even used it to cross the pacific ocean and indian ocean.

Moana boat

[@dvc6992]

Moana boat yo head

[@vaqerecolati6743]

yes the concept of Moana was copied from this canoe

[@laitiatemo5054]

We had canoes larger than the Moana one. One was named the Rusaivanua built over seven years and was 36 metres in length and had the capacity to carry 200 warriors and 40 seamen. The warriors and seamen totalling to 240 had took with them 8 cows and pigs and some other provisions on their crossing from Vanualevu to Vitilevu. It's called a Fijian Drua. It was believed that canoes predating the Rusaivanua is far larger than it. The Rusaivanua was only one that was ever documented in our archives.
