As some of you may know I am building a Hawaiian outrigger sailing
canoe.


One suggestion: build in enough foam block floatation so that it
won't swamp beyond the point where you can bail it.

Been there.... Malibu Outrigger off of Diamond Head - and that
sucker even had a (supposedly..) watertight hatch.

12 feet of decking all glassed in and filled with float foam and no
hatches. Also two outriggers both made of float foam. with a small
amount of wood laminate around the outside and glassed.
