Description
Hawaiian Chieftain is the name of a sailing vessel briefly known as the Spirit of Larinda. Built in 1988 in Lahaina on the island of Maui, the Hawaiian Chieftain is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional design. She is unique with the rig of a 19th-century trading vessel and a modern triple keel, shallow draft hull. Drawing only 5.5 feet (1.7 m), she is highly maneuverable in shallow waters.
On February 25, 2006 she joined up with the Lady Washington and is now providing joint education and sail training up and down the west coast of the United States. She's seen here at the entrance to Yaquina Bay on the central Oregon coast.

Beautiful photograph of the Hawaiian sailing ship with a traditional design. The colors, details, action of the people climbing on the mast, and the shoreline background are wonderful. F/L
