Metkayina Canoe

The Metkayina Canoe is a small civilian watercraft constructed and used by the Metkayina Clan.
==Specifications==
Although the Metkayina usually use the Ilu as their main method of maritime transportation, the creation of the Canoes serves a number of other important societal functions. These small boats can carry a small family or be filled with items too heavy to be mounted on an Ilu. Most importantly however, is that these boats can serve as a mobile fishing platform for the Metkayina to harvest the bounties of the sea.Avatar: The Way of Water
Each Canoe is a work of art and unique to one family member to another. As such, they come in a variety of sizes and styles. Each vessel belonging to one family is finely crafted, from the decorations on the bow, to the intricate, harp-like ropes that tension the outrigger to the hull. Typically, a Canoe is made from wood and covered in cured Ikran skin, which provides the seacraft a water-repelling outer layer. The Canoe's bow is also sharpened to easily increase hydrodynamics and cut through choppy waters. The boat is usually maneuvered via a paddle, while an outrigger fashioned from strong plant material is used to increase stability in the open seas.
