Here’s a group of photos (photos if analog pix) of the Hōkule`a at the beginning of the voyage to Rapa Nui (Closing the Triangle) in 1999. Note the different sails for the difficult 1000 mile upwind leg.
Here’s the Hōkule`a on her return from the Tahiti and Samoa in 2014. The crew in this voyage was mostly the 2nd generation of voyagers with few originals in the mix.

Just got off work. Memorial Day. The Cazimeros seemed right
Be careful Alberta. The US is volatile and the pendulum will swing
