Volumes have been written about the voyages of Hokule'a, a vessel steeped in history and significance. TV documentaries have been shown worldwide testifying to the seaworthiness of this remarkable double-hull canoe. Songs have been composed to praise its beauty and relevance in the hearts of the Hawaiian people. Hokule'a was born in 1974 following a proposal by the Polynesian Voyaging Society to build a replica of an ancient Polynesian voyaging canoe and conduct a round-trip voyage between Hawaii and Tahiti. The voyage's purpose was to investigate Polynesian non-instrument navigation. In the years since its first and very successful voyage in 1976, Hokule'a and its crew of skilled navigators and sailors have crossed the Pacific Ocean many times and circumnavigated the globe. The design of Hokule'a is based on pictorial reconstructions by the late Herbert Kawainui Kane who was an authority on Polynesian voyaging canoes. His book "Voyagers" contains a wonderful selection of images illustrating voyaging canoes. Long by 12 inches, this model is a true work of art in a scale of 1 inch to 63 inches. They are individually crafted by Francis Pimmel, whose work was featured nationwide on MODERN MASTERS by HGTV. Hokule'a scale models are available in the following sizes: 12, 24, and 36 inches, or 30.5 cm, 61 cm, and 91.5 cm. 

The model is supplied with a beautiful display stand as illustrated, long by 14 inches, wide by 8 inches, and high by 2.5 inches. The display stand is built to accommodate a showcase
