Sailing Education Adventures

Spaulding Wooden Boat Center is holding a Polynesian Navigation Lecture in Sausalito this June.

Dr. Mimi George, Director of The Vaka Taumako Project will give a power-point presentation entitled "Sailing with Lata." Dr. George will discuss the traditional knowledge of the Polynesian voyagers of Taumako, Solomon Islands, and the aerodynamically superior designs of their voyaging canoes and their "wind compass” navigation system.

The Vaka Taumako Project seeks to educate young people in the ancient skills and values of building and navigating voyaging canoes. The project seeks to share information on the practical and spiritual nature of ancient sailing knowledge, and promote awareness and revival of authentic Polynesian voyaging. Read more at SWBC.
