Malia (canoe)
''Mālia'' is the name of a Hawaiian-style wooden racing canoe crafted by James Takeo Yamasaki. The canoe was hewn out of blonde koa wood in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, in 1933. Its wooden hull provided the founding model for all subsequent outrigger canoeing hulls, including those later molded from fiberglass. Hawaiian racing canoeist Tommy Holmes observed that ''Malia'' "remains a prototype for contemporary racing canoes () was among the first canoes built exclusively for the sport."〔Holmes 1993, p. 125〕 The canoe was listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places in 1993.〔
==Background==
Outrigger canoe racing became popular in Hawaii during the early 1900s. Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole was an early aficionado and commissioned the first canoe specifically built for racing, the ''Aa'' in 1902.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Volcano Gallery: Hawaiian Canoes )〕 Despite weighing 620 lbs., it won many races. Lighter and more streamlined canoes continued to evolve in the following decades as common fishing canoe designs were adapted for racing purposes.〔
