  • Pacific Colonisation and Canoe Performance: Experiments in the Science of Sailing
    PACIFIC COLONISATION AND CANOE PERFORMANCE: EXPERIMENTS IN THE SCIENCE OF SAILING GEOFFREY IRWIN University of Auckland RICHARD G.J. FLAY University of Auckland The voyaging canoe was the primary artefact of Oceanic colonisation, but scarcity of direct evidence has led to uncertainty and debate about canoe sailing performance. In this paper we employ methods of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic analysis of sailing routinely used in naval architecture and yacht design, but rarely applied to questions of prehistory—so far. We discuss the history of Pacific sails and compare the performance of three different kinds of canoe hull representing simple and more developed forms, and we consider the implications for colonisation and later inter-island contact in Remote Oceania. Recent reviews of Lapita chronology suggest the initial settlement of Remote Oceania was not much before 1000 BC (Sheppard et al. 2015), and Tonga was reached not much more than a century later (Burley et al. 2012). After the long pause in West Polynesia the vast area of East Polynesia was settled between AD 900 and AD 1300 (Allen 2014, Dye 2015, Jacomb et al. 2014, Wilmshurst et al. 2011). Clearly canoes were able to transport founder populations to widely-scattered islands. In the case of New Zealand, modern Mäori trace their origins to several named canoes, genetic evidence indicates the founding population was substantial (Penney et al. 2002), and ancient DNA shows diversity of ancestral Mäori origins (Knapp et al. 2012). Debates about Pacific voyaging are perennial. Fifty years ago Andrew Sharp (1957, 1963) was sceptical about the ability of traditional navigators to find their way at sea and, more especially, to find their way back over long distances with sailing directions for others to follow.

  • Cultural and Cognitive Implications of the Trobriand Islanders' Gradual
    Chapter 11 “ Masawa—bogeokwa si tuta! ”: Cultural and Cognitive Implications of the Trobriand Islanders’ Gradual Loss of Their Knowledge of How to Make a Masawa Canoe Gunter Senft Kwatuyavesa waga , Turn round the sail of the canoe, rakeda milaveta! its course is to the open sea! ( Oruvekoya song cycle, fi rst stanza ) A few days after I had set foot on the Trobriand Islands for the fi rst time in 1982, 1 I spied a masawa canoe sailing close-hauled toward Kiriwina, the main island of the Trobriands. Although I had seen Malinowski’s (1922/ 1978 ) photographs of these impressive canoes in his monograph Argonauts of the Western Pacifi c , I was over- whelmed by the grace and beauty of this sight. Three weeks later I had the opportu- nity to sail on such a canoe from Kaibola, the northernmost village on Kiriwina Island, back to Tauwema, the village on Kaile’una Island that has been my place of residence during my fi eld research on the Trobriands for more than 25 years now. My sailing experience with a masawa canoe is one of my dearest memories so far. In Malinowski’s times Kaile’una Island as well as Vakuta Island, Kitava Island, and the village of Sinaketa on Kiriwina Island were known as the best centers for canoe-building and as the places where most expert canoe-builders and carvers lived (Malinowski 1922/1978 , pp. 121–145). In 1982 Tauwema had eight masawa , 1 This chapter is based on more than 40 months of fi eld research on the Trobriand Islands.

    UTRIGGER "REGATTA-DAY Mi Another fine historical article by Edwin North McClellan, writer, historian, 0 radio commentator, world traveler, retired Marine officer and good friend. We thank him for his many contributions to the Forecast and hope for many more. By Edwin North McClellan Outrigger-Canoe Races were features of King Kalakaua’s Birthday (November 16) Celebration, and Regatta-Day (third Saturday in September) which succeeded the “King’s Birthday” as a national holiday. Outrigger-canoes once formed a sub­ stantial part of transportation between Honolulu and Waikiki and other places. Hawaiians at first, and then Haoles, perpetuated outrigger-canoeing for use and sport around Oahu. Many men who, later helped create the Outrigger-Canoe-Club, aided in keeping the Hawaiian sport of outriggering on the programs of the many Regatta Days in Honolulu Harbor and on the Ala Wai. The first record of commem­ orating the “King’s Birthday” with aquatic-sports was about 1875. About 1882 thf phrase “The Regatta” attached itself to the "K ing’s Birthday” holiday commemorf tion. Aquatic-sport is fundamental—and prosperity-producing for the Territory— particularly at W aikiki, home of the Outrigger-Canoe-Club. "THE REGATTA," NOVEMBER 16, 1882 Eighties and up the Nineties. But, with It was the “finest and most complete the death of Kalakaua in 1891, interest in Regatta,” reported the newspapers of the his Birthday diminished. Then, in 1896, outrigger-canoe and other competitions “Regatta Day” was bom in the Legisla­ in Honolulu Harbor on November 16, ture of Hawaii, to encourage Aquatic 1882. The course for the Six-Paddle- Sport in Hawaii including outriggering, Canoe Race was around a buoy anchored surfboarding and swimming.
