Ka uru ngā taupoki tiaki whānui, kāore i te ritenga, ki te nuinga o ngā poti me ngā kaipuke moana, he mea hanga ki ngā papanga moana ātete-rā, ātete-rāwhiti, ātete-ki-te-rā. Ka ārai ēnei parepare moana maha-kaupapa i te waikura tote, te ua me te kino o te rā mō ngā waka e tau ana, e rere ana i runga i te waka tereina, e rongoatia ana rānei. Mā ngā aho kume ka taea te whakarite ka ārai i te hau; mā te papanga ārai-haurangi ka ārai i te pokepokea ai te anga o te waka. Kei te wātea ngā rahi ritenga, ngā rauemi me ngā kōwhiringa tae mō ngā taonga tiaki moana rarawe.
