outrigger canoe

Talk about a lot of fun, consider purchasing an outrigger canoe!  Fascinating in design and construction, an outrigger canoe falls into the same category as a catamaran or trimaran.  Many people in ocean racing are not familiar with this type of canoe.

The hull on an outrigger canoe is double-ended and reverses direction by shifting the sail to the opposite end.  Hulls come in many variations throughout the Pacific.  The leeward side is almost flat while most of the hull curvature occurs on the windward side.

Polynesians sail both tacking and shunting types. Depending on what area of the planet you like to canoe, the outrigger canoe is one special craft used to set you free and sail the oceans with speed and remarkable stability, thanks to the built in stabilizer bar. Whether you choose to steer your canoe with steering oars or a built in oar, you will love the look and feel of this unique craft.  Have a look and see what online merchant can offer you the best deal today!
