With
such an easy and painless means of prototyping at hand why not build
outlandish and improbable boats! I call this one-off
creation, Small Craft Advisory. It is essentially the
bottom profile and rocker of a windsurfboard built up to a canoe.
Bamboo and ABS pipe make a poor mans' outrigger.
It is unique in blending epoxy-fiberglass-plywood with skin-on-frame in
the same boat. I built this 14' canoe in about 4 lazy days.
It will undoubtedly perform better with the rudder fixed in place and
by changing it from a tri to single outrigger. You can see me
hiked way back here trying to get it to head downwind. Pictured
below is the
maiden voyage.
