Traditional Hawaiian canoes did not have them. The Western-style rudder with tiller is also anachronistic, an addition by Gary Dierking. Traditional steering was by steering oar, which is probably not as efficient as a deep, narrow rudder/foil, and traditional sailing outriggers probably could not go to weather. See the book <a href="http://neversealand.downtothesea.org/2007/06/21/hawaiian-canoe-building-traditions/" rel="nofollow">Hawaiian Canoe-Building Traditions</a> for pictures, though not much technical discussion.
