Check out that solar array, can you say awesome? That monster array is to power the twin electric motors on each vaka. Pretty flippin' cool.
That is the steering oar.
This is the bow of the Fijian vaka. Each nation on the voyage received a canoe and, as I understand it, initially all the canoes were basically the same, however with time and effort each nations' vaka it taking on its own character. The Fijian vaka is covered with this gorgeous carving work.
Note the paddle boards in the trampoline! The closest vaka is Fijian and the distant one is, I believe, pan-pacific with folks from different places. The highest flag on its rigging, the red and black, is Maori.
