Tepuke from the Santa Cruz Islands, Solomon Islands.

 

 

Tepuke model. I need one! Scale 1:1 if possible!

 

 

Proas from the Caroline Islands. Notice that the sail lacks the funny S-extension of the boom found in modern Micronesia.

 

 

Model of the famous Flying Proa of the Marianas, Tinian Island.

 

 

A proa from New Caledonia. Notice that both hulls are identical, and the sail is more

similar to a Marshall Islands' walap than to a Fijian Ndrua.

 

 

Model of the same boat.

 

Drawing of a Tuamotu's Pahi, I think I got this one from Canoes of Oceania.

Another Pahi model.

 

 

A drawing of a Kiribati proa.

 

 

Model of the Kiribati proa, look at the gorgeous planking of the hull. Sadly, the ama attachement is broken/missing.

 

 

 

 

One of my favorites, from Sialum in New Guinea.
