Highwind (raft)

The Highwind raft is a boat built by Sora, Riku and Kairi, in Destiny Islands. The trio built it, hoping to set out and see new worlds, however their plans went amiss when a storm broke out and Heartless attacked Destiny Islands.

Kingdom Hearts
Since a young age Sora and Riku have always wanted to visit other worlds and their interest grew when Kairi, a girl from a foreign world, came to Destiny Islands. Eventually, Sora and Riku became friends with Kairi and decided to build the raft to fulfil their desire to see new worlds. At one point, Kairi joked to Sora that they should leave with the raft with just the two of them.

Later, Kairi tells Sora to fetch the building materials for the raft and afterwards, Sora and Riku race to decide who becomes captain and what the raft will be named. Riku wins the race and comes up with the name "Highwind".

If Sora wins the race, the raft is named "Excalibur" although the player can change this name if they wish.

After the race, Kairi then tells Sora to gather provisions for the journey.

Unfortunately, the trio's plans to set sail are broken when a storm breaks out and Heartless attack Destiny Islands, separating them across the universe. It is unknown what the raft's current condition is and if it survived the storm or not.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
When Sora and Riku start their Mark of Mastery exams they find themselves on the raft in the middle of the ocean within the Destiny Islands Sleeping World, where they encounter Ursula.

Materials
In Kingdom Hearts, Kairi sends Sora to gather the remaining materials needed for the raft and journey.
