Raka waka

Ko te raka waka mana mamao he taputapu miihini aunoa katoa. Me whai: pūnaha whakahaere, pūnaha taraiwa, pūtake hiko. Nō reira, kāore e taea te karo i te raruraru rahi me te roa o te ratonga o te pūtake hiko. Ina koa, ko te pūtake hiko te aukati i te whanaketanga o ngā raka waka mana mamao. Nā te mea he nui te iahiko taraiwa, ko ngā raka waka mana mamao whānui ka whakakahangia e ngā pākahiko kore-tiaki waikawa-mata, ā, e mōhio ana te katoa he raruraru tuku-ake te pākahiko. Me whakahou anō i roto i ētahi marama, ki te kore ka tere te whakakore.

Engari ki te tango i te pākahiko mai i te raka waka ka pupuri ki runga hei utu mō te pō, kātahi ka maka ki roto i te raka waka, ki taku whakaaro he maha ngā rangatira waka kāore e pai ki te mahi.

Nō reira, ko te aronga matua o te raka waka mamao ko te whakaiti i te whakapaunga hiko, te whakaiti i te iahiko tūtatari, me te whakamahi i te mana pākahiko maroke. Mena ka taea te whakakapi i te pākahiko kotahi noa iho i te neke atu i te tau, ka whakaaetia e ngā kaiwhakamahi. Heoi, ko te āhuatanga noa o ngā raka waka ko te roa o te huringa ora o te pākahiko he tekau noa iho ngā rā, ko ētahi neke atu i te tekau ngā rā. Ko te auau utu nui pēnei ka tino whakanui ake i ngā raruraru a te kaiwhakamahi. Nō reira, he nui te hiahia o te mākete mō ngā raka waka he roa ake te ora o te pākahiko i te kotahi tau.
