Planning and Preparing for the Virtual Voyage
For each step of planning and preparing, students first brainstorm,
then do research and refine their plans and preparations. Each step is an
occasion for a short, informal essay or oral report.
Step 1. Getting to Know Your Vessel
Students research what Hokule'a looks like and how
she sails (e.g., points of sail, tacking, and windward ability). This information
will help the student understand the course strategy for different legs,
the great sailing skill it would take to reach Rapa Nui today, and the
great sailing skill it took for Polynesians to reach the island over 1500
years ago.
