L'expressió vela de papallona indica totes les variants de la vela tradicional emprada en les canoes polinèsies i embarcacions similars arreu de l’Oceà Pacífic. En els models més sofisticats de canoes polinèsies, les canoes de les Illes Mariannes (islas de las Velas latinas),[1] la vela de papallona presenta una forma de triangle isòsceles amb dos dels costat units a sengles perxes. El conjunt format per la vela i les perxes va penjat en un pal únic i vertical de forma que pugui girar lliurement.[2]
