Sail Fiji 2014 | Unfinished Business
By Andrew Reid, Django
June 7, 2014, 1000 am. It’s the start of the ANZ Sailfiji ocean race from Auckland to Denarau, Fiji. We’re as ready as a boat and crew can be and the five of us on board, AP, Bex, Lefty, Seamus and AJ, are looking forward to racing out of a soggy NZ winter towards warmer climes. The fleet numbers 20 odd, which is the biggest for some time and augurs well for both this race and the future.
Trade Me
Between the islands of Fiji, our ancestors would trade goods for which they were famed. The people of Tonga would also trade colourful feathers of the kula bird (Collared Lory – Phigys solitaries) masi (printed bark cloth) and weapons with the eastern Fiji islands.

Trading today is still popular and is something you might like to try instead of reverting to cash…More info here…

Traditional Navigation
Setariki Ledua grew up on the isolated island of Fulaga, sailing traditional Camakau – Lauan canoes carved from the Vesi (Intsia bijunga) tree. His childhood was spent immersed in sailing, learning all he could under the powerful influence of both his father and uncle. Through them he learnt to sail, navigate and build the Camakau, and of his sailing ancestors exploring and trading throughout the region. Sailing was always a passion for Seta, until he volunteered as crew on a historic voyage along ancient migratory routes on the Uto Ni Yalo, when it became a way of life…More info here…
