Experience a masterclass in Pacific artistry with this authentic Hawaiian Outrigger Racing Canoe, meticulously handcrafted by artisan R. Gossert in Hilo, Hawaii. This 33.5-inch scale model is a celebration of native Hawaiian timber and traditional voyaging heritage. This piece is uniquely valuable because it utilizes three distinct, storied Hawaiian woods: The Hull, Manus & Gunnels: Carved from premium Koa, Hawaii’s "royal" wood, celebrated for its deep, shimmering grain and historical use in ancient war canoes. The Arms (ʻIako): Crafted from Hau, a native wood chosen for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio and flexibility. The Float (Ama): Made from Wiliwili, the lightest of all Hawaiian woods, traditionally used for outriggers due to its natural buoyancy. Provenance: Hand-signed and dated (4/05) by R. Gossert, Hilo, HI. Dimensions: A commanding 33.5-inch hull length, making it a significant statement piece. Design: A sleek racing silhouette designed with the elegance and performance lines of a traditional six-man competitive vessel.
