| To give it a curve (these are called "crab claw" sails) I used 3M Spray Mount to affix the paper back to back. White glue caused it to wrinkle. As it was drying I wrapped it around a paper towel roll so it would retain the curve. |

| The real sails were woven matts, about 16" wide. I found a matt pattern on the inter webs and scaled it to my needs. Over a printed base sheet I added each row, overlapping a bit so it suggests the seams where the matts were sewn together. |

| The parts ready for assembly. The bottom piece of cloth was what was provided in the kit. Not very prototypical. My new sail is the triangular piece. |

| In some canoes, the Wae was attached with rope. |

| The bow is more refined. Sharp knifed are essential. Also shown is the "Wae" or spreader, that the outrigger booms are attached to. |

| The kit is really basic and toy-like. But it does have some nice wood. The hull is a roughly shaped piece of koa. The canoe is approx. 1/12 scale. |
