Description: Takuu men race their sailing canoes around a course within the large lagoon, shunting at each predetermined way-point. During the race, women organise the allocation of prizes and prepare food for a communal meal. The footage, taken in the early 2000s, covers both the successes and failures associated with any competitive activity.
