Outrigger Sailing Canoes
     - the marriage of simplicity and lightness requires both.

The place to begin is at Gary Dierking's Outrigger Sailing Canoes

My FAV is his Va'a Motu. as a double outrigger for  me

This most recent of his designs is remarkable - this video shows what I mean.
Notice the very fast jibes/tacks - and of course the strong acceleration out of the tacks.

The light overall weight combind with the high performance rig/sailplan showing it's stuff

Interesting Candidate for Raid Boat

With twin rotating freestanding wing-masts and full battened square-top sails -- this sat-ketch or cat-schooner will blow the doors of many high priced competitors

New RAID Design

Going Google...

Hello all, I'm testing Google as my new web platform. The latest range of web-centric applications from Google have piqued my interest.
The use of Picasaweb, Blogger, and gmail, scheduler, and googleEarth - all combined is forcing me to test their degree of integration for myself.
Now I'm doing a custom BlogRoller using PHP/TBS for DuckWorks.
