The footage shows boats traditional for the peoples of Oceania, the so-called outrigger canoes - boats with an attached balancer.

This design gave the boats stability - a quality vital for safe navigation in the difficult currents and unpredictable winds of the Pacific Ocean.

May have one or two balancers. Able to make long ocean voyages. The length of the vessel can be from 6 to 30 meters. The largest of them can accommodate up to 50 people.
