Paraw!
The Paraw is a double outrigger sail boat found in the Philippines. The paraw is similar to a proa, however, the paraw has two outrigger(s) or katig. With a fresh breeze, and an Ilonggo at the helm, the paraw is a strikingly fast boat, making 20 to 30 kph through the waves.
If you live in Southeast Asia, take a trip to the Philippines and see the amazing Iloilo Paraw Regatta starting February 13th.

Ungdommene fra Sola brettseilingsklubb lar ikke snøføyk og sure minusgrader stoppe dem fra å seile i førjulstiden. (Young people from the Sun windsurfing club did not let acid (acid..yikes!) snøw and freezing temperatures stop them from sailing before Christmas.)

You're right. Not that great to sail...as such.
If you have photos of sailing in and around Hawaii, please send them to jtrouse at gmail dot com. I'll post them. Mahalo.
