Kia Ora was built from the famous L.Frances Herreshoff Schooner design "Joanne", with a five foot keel to enter shallow laggons and traditional hands-on rigging. She launched in Seattle in 1980 and participates in local and international races. The Kia Ora was originally built in Port Townsend to sail to New Zealand. "Kia Ora" is a traditional Maori greeting similar to "Aloha" in Hawaiian.
She is a mixture of traditional rigging above and a new 20th century hull design below. The Kia Ora is 65 feet in length.
