Modern sailing outrigger canoe in Hawaii., USA

The outrigger canoe (Filipino and Indonesian: bangka; New Zealand Māori: waka ama; Cook Islands Maori: vaka; Hawaiian: waa; Tahitian and Samoan:vaa) is a type of canoe featuring one or more lateral support floats known as outriggers, which are fastened to one or both sides of the main hull. Smaller canoes often employ a single outrigger on the port side, while larger canoes may employ a single-outrigger, double-outrigger, or double-hull configuration (see also catamaran). The sailing canoes are an important part of the Polynesian heritage and are raced and sailed in Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa and by the Māori of New Zealand.
