Take this as a study in how well I am doing at keeping up on this blog these days – I am just now getting to an appreciation of [...] Related posts:

I recently noticed a comment from David over at Never Sea Land, one of Chine bLog’s sister blogs in this space. It turns out he is building an ULUA, and is blogging about it.

Editor Michael Schacht seems to really know the topic and all sorts of useful content, such as a really good glossary and design information. This one is a keeper.

This would be a good site to keep handy if anyone is building one themselves. The designer, Gary Dierking, has posted some other nice photos of completed ones on [...] Related posts:

Ulua is a lovely sailing outrigger canoe from New Zealand (a nice fit, given that NZ is the southern tip of the Polynesian Triangle). She has excellent authentic features, especially at the ends.
