On 19 January 2007, Hōkūle‘a left HawaiTemplate:Okinai with the voyaging canoe Alingano Maisu on a voyage through Micronesia (map) and ports in southern Japan.Template:Refn The voyage was expected to take five months.

The twin wood masts were built by LeVan Keola Sequeira.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> They are rigged either crab claw or Marconi style with a small jib. It is steered with a long paddle. It has no auxiliary motor. Its escort vessel tows it into harbor when necessary. Its name means "star of gladness" in Hawaiian, which refers to Arcturus, a guiding zenith star for Hawaiian navigators.Template:R Arcturus passes directly overhead at [[Hawaii|HawaiTemplate:Okinai]]'s latitude, helping sailors find the island.

Pius "Mau" Piailug

Hōkūle‘a navigates without instruments. In 1975, no living Hawaiian knew the ancient techniques for blue water voyaging.Template:R To enable the voyage, the Polynesian Voyaging Society recruited the Satawalese Master Navigator Mau Piailug (of the Weriyeng school in the Caroline Islands (map) of the Federated States of Micronesia (map)) to share his knowledge of non-instrument navigation.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> While as many as six Micronesian navigators had mastered these traditional methods as of the mid-1970s,<ref>Template:Cite news Mentions the 1969 death of the last recognized Polynesian navigator and existence of only six Micronesian non-instrument navigators due to younger seafarers' adoption of GPS and outboard motors over the rigors of learning ancestral non-instrument means of navigating sailing canoes.</ref> only Mau was willing to share his knowledge.

Mau, who "barely spoke English", decided that by reaching beyond his own culture, sharing what had been closely guarded knowledge, he could possibly save it from extinction. Through this collaboration, Mau's mentorship helped "spark pride in the Hawaiian and Polynesian culture", leading to "a renaissance of voyaging, canoe building, and non-instrument navigation that has continued to grow, spreading across Polynesia (map) and reaching to its far corners of Aotearoa, New Zealand and Rapanui, Easter Island".Template:Sfn

Voyages

Inaugural voyage (1976)

Led by Captain [[Kawika Kapahulehua|Elia David KuTemplate:Okinaualoha "Kawika" Kapahulehua]]* and Navigator Pius "Mau" Piailug, a Carolinian master navigator*,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa departed Honolua Bay, Maui, [[Hawaii|HawaiTemplate:Okinai]] for [[Papeete|PapeTemplate:Okinaete]], Tahiti, (voyage map) as part of the celebration of the United States Bicentennial. Mau navigated from Hawaii to Tahiti without instruments. Due to a conflict between crew members which escalated into physical violence, Mau abruptly returned home to Micronesia after reaching Tahiti. Hōkūleʻa had to be navigated back using western instruments (compass, nautical charts, sextant, chronometer, dividers, parallel rulers, pencil, nautical almanac).Template:R

On board the inaugural voyage was Hoku, a golden hair Hawaiian Poi Dog backbred by Jack L. Throp of the Honolulu Zoo. Razor-backed pigs and Polynesian chickens were also bred at the zoo for the voyage, but the director would not part with them at the last minute. Instead, the voyage hurriedly brought a white domesticated pig from Kōkeʻe, Kauai named Maxwell, and a cock and hen. The purpose of the animals was to study how to feed and care for these animals, which had been transported by the Polynesians during their voyages.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="Lewis1978">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="Lewis1994">Template:Cite book</ref>

Kealaikahiki project (1977)

In English, the Hawaiian "Ke ala i kahiki" means "the path to Tahiti." The "Kealaikahiki Project" recreated the traditional Kealaikahiki Point departure of ancient voyages to Tahiti.Template:R Gordon PiTemplate:OkinaianaiTemplate:Okinaa's idea to recreate traditional departures took HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa southeast, across Kealaikahiki Channel between [[Lanaʻi|LānaTemplate:Okinai]] and [[Kahoolawe|KahoTemplate:Okinaolawe]] Islands, past Kealaikahiki Point, into the [[Channels of the Hawaiian Islands#ʻAlenuihāhā Channel|Template:OkinaAlenuihāhā Channel]] and the northeast trade winds. The object was to determine whether HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa, departing from west of the 1976 departure point, would bisect the more easterly 1976 voyage track, and so likely reach Tahiti were it to continue. After heading south for two days, HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa did not bisect the 1976 voyage track, but likely would have (further south than anticipated). It came about and returned to HawaiTemplate:Okinai. The traditional departure point would be used for subsequent sailings to Tahiti.Template:R<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }} The article appears alongside others on the same topic on a scanned page which aggregates them.</ref>

Tahiti voyage (1978)

Following the 1976 voyage, Nainoa Thompson attempted to teach himself how to navigate without instruments, using only the position of stars and ocean cues, based on information he learned from books, planetarium observations, and short voyages in Hawaiian waters.Template:R In 1978, the crew of HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa attempted a second voyage to Tahiti, which was aborted when HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa capsized<ref>Template:Cite news Retrieved from Kamehameha Schools archives of Polynesian Voyaging Society activities.</ref> in high wind and seas southwest of the Island of [[Molokai|MolokaTemplate:Okinai]], five hours after departing Honolulu's Ala Wai Harbor. The crew hung on to the capsized canoe through the night.

Flares were unseen by passing aircraft; the emergency radio reached no help. By mid-morning, with no sign of imminent rescue and the capsized canoe drifting farther from land, Eddie Aikau, a [[North Shore (Oahu)|North Shore, OTemplate:Okinaahu]], lifeguard and big-wave surfer, volunteered to paddle a surfboard Template:Convert to LānaTemplate:Okinai for help. About nine hours later, flares launched by the crew were spotted by a Hawaiian Airlines flight which circled HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa and radioed the United States Coast Guard ("USCG"). Half an hour later, a USCG search and rescue helicopter was hovering overhead; HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa crew was rescued. The following morning, the USCGC Cape Corwin towed the vessel, from 22 miles southwest of LāTemplate:Okinaau Point, MolokaTemplate:Okinai, back to Honolulu.Template:R Despite intensive land, air and sea search, Eddie Aikau was never seen again. HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa carries a plaque in his memory. Subsequent voyages were accompanied by an escort vessel.Template:R

Tahiti voyage (1980)

After the 1978 disaster, Mau returned and gave Nainoa further training on traditional navigation techniques.Template:R In 1980, Nainoa Thompson recreated the 1976 voyage to Tahiti to become the first Native Hawaiian in modern times to navigate a canoe thousands of miles without instruments. Mau sailed as an observer. After 29 days at sea, before sighting Mataiva on the way to Tahiti, Mau offered Nainoa only one correction; of Nainoa's interpretation of sighting a land-based seabird in mid-morning flight. Such birds generally fly seaward for food at morning and return to land in the evening. While it can usually be assumed that land lies opposite the birds' morning flight direction, this bird spotted mid-morning (during nesting season), carried a fish in its beak.Template:Refn This detail suggested to Mau that the bird's morning flight was not away from land but toward it. The bird was not flying seaward to find more fish, but rather, was returning to land, to feed its young.Template:Refn Leading up to the voyage, an extensive, formal crew training program helped to ensure a safe voyage.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Escort boat Ishka followed for safety.Template:R<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }} Documents use of escort boat and some of the safety measures implemented for the 1980 voyage.</ref>Template:R

Voyage of Rediscovery (1985–1987)

In the "Voyage of Rediscovery", HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa traveled Template:Convert to destinations throughout Polynesia.Template:Sfn<ref>Template:Cite book Dr. Finney gives a short account of the Voyage of Rediscovery.</ref> Inviting fellow Polynesians to join the crew on legs of the voyage extended HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa's success in revitalizing interest in Polynesian culture. For instance, professional Tongan sea captain Sione Taupeamuhu was aboard during a night passage from Tongatapu to Nomuka in the northerly [[Haapai|HaTemplate:Okinaapai]] Islands group of Tonga (map). He was skeptical that HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa navigator Nainoa Thompson could find Nomuka without instruments. When Nomuka appeared on the horizon at dawn as anticipated, Taupeamuhu remarked, "Now I can believe the stories of my ancestors."Template:Sfn Dorcas and Maalea served as escort vessels.

Summer voyage segment

In the summer: HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa and Hawai‘iloa sailed the West Coast of the United States. Both vessels were shipped from HawaiTemplate:Okinai to Seattle, Washington, after which they sailed to Vancouver, British Columbia. They visited intermediate ports, where local American Indian tribes often hosted them to a dinner and gift exchange. From Vancouver, Hawai‘iloa sailed as far north as Haines, Alaska.Template:Refn HōkūleTemplate:Okinaa sailed south to San Diego via Portland, Oregon, and the California ports of San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Long Beach.
