Ulua By Jeremy Eagleton The outrigger paddling canoe is traditionally rigged in hawaii with only one ama rigged to be in the water. the holopuni oc3 paddle and sailing canoes incorporate reinforced iako mounts with the iako attachments raised an additional 3” rise on both the canoe hull and ama. this provides for additional water clearance when paddling in rough. The ama is usually attached to the main hull of the canoe by means of two or more supports called iakos. these iakos connect the ama to the hull, ensuring that it remains stable during paddling or sailing. the primary function of an ama is to provide additional stability. as the outrigger canoe moves through water, it tends to lean towards one.
Outrigger Sailing Canoes Outrigger Canoe Canoe Sailing Kay This video is about how to rig an outrigger canoe heavy or light, oc1, puakea designs, kahe kai, ehukai, ama. The holopuni iako trimaran set uses 2 amas that are rigged out at an equal distance from the hull. this is our favorite and recommended sailing set up. our iako design was created through years of r&d and consultation. all canoes are hand built and custom made to order. the oc3 sail has a stronger lay up than the oc3 paddling canoe. Holopuni which in hawaiian means "to sail everywhere" is the original name nick beck gave to the 3 man outrigger canoe in which he set out to explore the coastal areas of each of the hawaiian islands. the holopuni oc3 paddle and the oc3 sail are the three person, 30' hawaiian outrigger canoes that have evolved since 1981 to meet the many. We use canoe twist rigging cord which is a 3 16 inch poly cotton mixture to bind the wa`a, `iako and ama together. to rig the ama to the `iako, you need about 50 feet of cord, or about eight arm width spans. to rig the `iako to the wa`a, you need two boats lengths, or approximately 80 feet of cord. rigger uses his weight to stretch the rigging.

The traditional hawaiian canoe had a calabash shape with a very round bottom. it was a shorter boat generally 36 38 feet long with a lot of banana rocker shape to it. when you think of what an outrigger canoe is, it’s really a catamaran. the double hulled sailing canoe is a true catamaran but the hawaiian outrigger canoe really needed two hulls. We are looking for full time canoe builders to join our team! in its most modern form, we are composite technicians using techniques and tools typically only seen in the aerospace industry. we are proud to do this locally in kailua in our mission to build the world's best outrigger canoes. positions start at $15 and range to $25 hr with experience.
