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
