Talk:Moana's Boat/@comment-27020676-20170825090417

The swirl on the boat's sail and from where it was positioned, makes me think that it was left for the hero to use when it is time for her to save the world with Maui.

Tala's stories were about the legends surrounding their island and the ocean, along with tales of their ancestors, so Tala could have been preparing Moana with the skills of sailing so she'll be able to sail the boat that is meant for her.
