Ama (sailing) : ウィキペディア英語版
Ama (sailing)

The term ''ama'' is a word in the Polynesian and Micronesian languages to describe the outrigger part of a canoe to provide stability. Today, among the various Polynesian countries, the word ''ama'' is often used together with the word ''vaka'' (Cook Islands) or ''waka'' (Māori) or ''va'a'' (Samoa Islands, Tahiti), cognate words in various Polynesian languages to describe a canoe.
In modern sailing, the term is sometimes used to refer to the outrigger on a proa or trimaran, or the two sections of a catamaran.〔
〕 However, calling the two sections of a catamaran by the word ama, is not technically correct since they are of equal size. A catamaran is technically a wa'a wa'a or double canoe connected by an aka.
==History==

The Polynesian term ''vaka'' is the main hull, the ''ama'' is the outrigger, and the ''aka'' or ''iako'' (Hawaiian) is the support connecting the two (not three) hulls. The term ''ama'' and ''aka'' have been widely applied to modern trimarans.
