Waka hourua

 Kia ora!

My name is Pita and today I will be describing- my class’s waka.

Our waka hourua is huge and fast. Capacity weight can hold 20 people.
Our waka hourua has 2 strong sails that can hold the wind, it is also made out of flax. Our Waka hourua has a hut on the centre of the beam (between the two sails). It can fit storage and also it can fit the whole class. Our waka hourua is really fast, faster than Captain Cook's Endeavour. The two hulls are really light and they make the beam high enough. The hulls are also made out of Totara trees which is why the hulls are light because totara trees are lighter than the Kauri trees.  

As we are part of the waka crew Paterson class members all have their own jobs. I am a warrior/guard, I help the captain guard the waka. I also keep everyone safe. Here is an image of my own waka.

Thank you for reading my blog. I hope you enjoyed reading it. BYE!!
