: .. a bit eccentric?

Hi Mat I considered your idea a while back but chickened out in the end and went this way. It is Very fast, a lot of fun and needs a bigger rudder than a kayak rudder. Open cockpits would work with a smaller rig. 3.5msq perhaps. I would think that any outrigger would need a minimum amount of buoyancy incorperated no matter what the shape unless you had a very low aspect rig.

Outrigger plans are from CLCboats.com
