Te Aurere was built in the traditional style of ocean-going, double-hull canoes.  It is lashed together with the main structure provided by the two logs hollowed out for the hulls and six main aku (crossbeams).   The mast steps and decking are also lashed to the aku adding to the structural strength of the waka.
