HŌKŪLE’A

Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage Navigation by Birds This is the first time Hōkūle‘a has voyaged out of the Pacific Ocean, beyond the geographical boundaries where noninstrument wayfinding was traditionally practiced.

To prepare, the crewmembers

There are two key birds that help navigators know when land is near. The manu o kū (white fairy tern) has a range of roughly 120 to 200 miles from land and the noio (black noddy) has a range of about 40 miles. Both birds return to land to rest at night. If the navigators see these birds around sunrise, they can assume they are coming from an island, and if they see the birds around sunset, they are returning to the island. Most other seabirds are less reliable indicators due to their ability to stay at sea without returning to land for several days, months, and at times, even years.

extensively researched the currents, weather systems, wave patterns, stars and wildlife they would potentially see along the way.

Sunrise and sunset are key times of every day at sea. Navigators study the swells, the colors in the sky, as well as cloud shapes and the direction they may be moving.

When the sun is low, it is also easier to see islands along the horizon.

Navigation by Stars Hānaiakamalama (the Southern Cross) and Hōkūpa‘a (Polaris) are important for determining latitude.

If you are sailing north on a line back to the east, upwind, of Hawai‘i, once the distance between the top and bottom stars in Hānaiakamalama is equal to the distance between the bottom star and the horizon, you know that you are at the latitude of Hawai‘i, and you can then turn downwind, an easier direction to sail, and be confident that you will see one of the islands.

Hōkūpa‘a is also an important directional clue in the northern hemisphere. Nāhiku (the Big Dipper) helps navigators find Hōkūpa‘a, and can also help determine latitude as the canoe gets south of the equator.

Makali’i (Pleiades) is significant in Hawai’i (and other Polynesian islands) as its rising after sunset marks the beginning of Makahiki season. Makahiki lasts about four months, usually beginning in October with festivities and ceremonies throughout the islands honoring the god Lono whose province is agriculture, fertility and peace.

HONORING TRADITION

Hawaiian aloha shirts play a colorful role in the history of the islands. And, like the islands, they have been influenced by trade and by the sharing of knowledge among diverse cultures. The roots of the aloha shirt can be traced back to kapa cloth, once a currency of the South Pacific culture; the graphic prints were influenced by the Tahitian pāreu—a simple wrap featuring bold floral patterns.

This season’s Limited Edition Pataloha print pays homage to the Polynesian voyaging canoe Hōkūle’a. Its mission is to circumnavigate the globe and to grow the global movement toward a more sustainable world. Surrounded by cresting waves and flying fish, the Hōkūle’a crew honors the past by using traditional wayfi nding techniques as they carry forward the generous and enduring spirit of aloha. Imported.

A replica of the massive double-hulled sailing canoes of eastern Polynesia, the Hōkūle‘a is designed to transport several thousand pounds of people and goods. Oral, written and drawn historical records in Hawai‘i—including petroglyphs—were used to study the shape of the canoe and its sails. From this, Hōkūle‘a was built as a 62-foot long double-hulled canoe, using plywood, fiberglass and resin, with twin masts, crab-claw sails, no motor, a sweep as a rudder and a 20-foot broad deck, all held together by eight crossbeams and five miles of lashings. To make the passage authentic, she must also sail without modern navigational instruments. John Bilderback

What if all of us, in our everyday lives, employed the tools of wayfinding to inform our decisions? What if with every bite of food we consumed, every piece of trash we threw away, every dollar or cent

Nainoa Thompson is the president of the Polynesian Voyaging Society and a master in the traditional art and science of Polynesian wayfinding. Through his voyaging, he has opened a global, multigenerational dialogue on the importance of sustaining ocean resources and maritime heritage. Nainoa has dedicated his life to exploring the ocean, maintaining the health of the planet and ensuring that the ancient marine heritage and culture of Polynesia remain vibrant into the future.

Our fi rst Snap-T ® Pullover was introduced in 1985 after our founder, Yvon Chouinard, found wool sweaters to be lacking. Wanting something at least as warm, but lighter in weight and quicker to dry, he and his design team worked with Malden Mills (now Polartec) to develop Synchilla® fleece—the fi rst of its kind in the industry.

We continue to evolve our fleece offerings: Our Performance Better Sweater ® Jacket is designed for more active movement; the diamond-quilted Cotton Quilt Snap-T ® Pullover is a soft blend of 72% organic cotton/28% polyester; and for more moderate temps, our Lightweight Synchilla® Snap-T ® Pullover offers midweight warmth and is made from 80–85% recycled polyester. Imported.

Left: In 2010, Pacific Voyagers constructed seven ocean voyaging canoes in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and set off across the Pacific. After visiting the West Coast of the United States the Te Mana o Te Moana (The Spirit of the Ocean) voyage was completed at the Festival of Pacific Arts in the Solomon Islands in 2012. Hōkūle‘a’s seminal voyage to Tahiti in 1976 was the start of a Polynesian cultural and voyaging revival. Rui Camilo Next: The hoe uli, or steering sweep, communicates the navigator’s intent into the water. The voyage of Hōkūle‘a refines our depth of knowledge about the ocean, the environment and ancient navigational wisdom. The result is an intimate understanding of elemental forces and a reverence for them. John Bilderback

Right: Hōkūle‘a is readied to return to the sea after an extensive dry-dock before the start of the circumnavigation. Getting ready for the Worldwide Voyage required the efforts of hundreds of hands, hearts and minds—besides those who sailed Hōkūle‘a 50,000 nautical miles among all the Hawaiian Islands and trained and tested crewmembers. There were those who worked on land to raise over a million dollars in funds for the voyage; who worked in dry-dock—sanding, lashing and varnishing Hōkūle‘a; who masterminded a viable sail plan to connect environmentalists around the globe, and who reached out to ocean communities in the many ports to warmly welcome the wa’a.

Right: Crewmembers celebrating the relaunch of Hōkūle‘a from her home base in Honolulu. Hōkūle‘a and the Worldwide Voyage were envisioned by the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS), started in 1973 by artist and historian Herb Kawainui Kāne, expert waterman Charles Tommy Holmes and anthropologist Ben Finney. They were intent on proving that Polynesians were master ocean navigators who purposely found and settled the Hawaiian Islands, dispelling the myth that Polynesians happened onto Hawai‘i by drifting aimlessly with the currents. To support this belief, the PVS worked to resurrect navigational knowledge and revive the culture that had been diluted and nearly lost through colonization. John Bilderback

Jennifer Allen, the author of two previously published books, has been a journalist for over 20 years. Her reporting has appeared in various publications, including Rolling Stone, The New Republic and The New York Times Magazine. She has also been an on-air reporter for the NFL Network and NFL Films.

Jennifer feels deeply honored and humbled to witness and document the Worldwide Voyage of Hōkūle‘a.

John Bilderback was a SURFER Magazine senior staff photographer for 20 years on the North Shore of O‘ahu, and has dozens of covers and hundreds of magazine page credits to his name. When Hōkūle‘a came to Hale‘iwa in 2013, he became deeply captivated by Mālama Honua; the mission ultimately drew him in, and he became a crewmember. He also participates on the board of directors for the North Shore Community Land Trust.
