Vogel, 2210 Finland Road, Canoe Sailor 46 page 2 Green Lane, PA 18054 http://canusail.org/ Building and Sailing a Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe, by Larry Haff,
I’m not sure what led to building my Hawaiian outrigger canoe Nai’A (dolphin) except I was looking for something completely different. I was led to the book Building Outrigger Sailing Canoes with full sized plans, by Gary Dierking in New Zealand (see diagram, reprinted with the permission of the author). He describes three different models of which I choose the Ulua (Trevally fish). This design was inspired by Hawaiian outrigger canoes but with some modern enhancements. It can be paddled, sailed, surfed or outboard powered. It is a tacking rig, much like an ACA sailing canoe, not a proa which must be shunted. The hull is rounded, which enhances speed. But this shape provides little lateral resistance, so a pivoting leeboard has been added for good windward performance. The boat steers with a paddle, or a steering oar, or a rudder. Watertight bulkheads fore and aft provide reserve buoyancy. The ama (outrigger) provides stability but if built hollow can also carry ballast or cargo. A very small, optional ama is installed on the reverse side, called a safety ama, which does not normally touch the water but prevents a possible capsize on the other side. I made my safety ama from a fishing rod case filled with foam.A hiking seat is used when the wind is coming from the side of the ama. The sailing rig is a modern Hawaiian type with a crab claw sail. A brailing line folds up the boom parallel to the mast for quick furling and reefing. A secondary objective of mine was to use as many ACA sailing canoe parts as possible. I found l could use the 4 meter ACA sail and mast (see photo), or the 5 meter ACA sail and mast, as well as the 65 square foot crabclaw sail (made for me by Douglas Fowler, of Ithaca, NY, see photo). My sailing canoe leeboard worked just fine. The sailing canoe rudder turned out to be a little too small in area and depth for effective tacking, so I made a slightly bigger one for the outrigger. The hull was made with cedar strips planked over wooden molds, much the same as a normal canoe. The ama was made the same way and turned out to be a little more difficult to build than the hull, due to the much lower radius of curvature. It was made from ½ inch wide bead-and-cove strips instead of the more normal ¾ inch strips. The iakos (crossbeams) were curved and made with laminated strips of mahogany. Overall, building this boat was about twice as much work as building a single hulled sailing canoe from scratch. How well does it sail? The hull without the ama has no stability at all, since its shape is almost round. With the ama, it has so much stability one can fairly comfortably stand up in the boat. Capsizing to the ama side is virtually impossible. On the other tack, the seat on the ama side is fairly far out from the hull, providing great leverage. In low wind, one can simply sit comfortably deep in the hull on either tack. Tacking is slower than with a sailing canoe as you have to drag the ama around, so one must turn the rudder over fairly sharply. Due to its drag the boat naturally tacks quicker to the ama side than the other side. I generally prefer using a rudder for steering, but it needs to be fairly large in area to have enough leverage, especially since it is mounted on the rear iako (crossbeam), not the stern. With a length of shockcore, the rudder is self-centering so the boat can sail straight some distance without rudder input. Instead, an 8- 10 foot steering oar can be mounted at the same position which gives greater leverage, and can also be used to scull or Canoe Sailor 46 page 3 http://canusail.org/ the crab claw sail.
to prevent going into irons, but it is not self-centering. Sailing with the 65 sq. foot crabclaw sail is different than with a Marconi or lateen sail. The effectiveness of the sail is fairly insensitive to the sheeting angle. It is very high up to grab the wind and the boom is also high and very long, which would be unstable in a monohull. Sheeting in more than necessary shifts the center of effort substantially and causes leeward helm, and vice versa. So steering is a combination of weight distribution, leeboard position, sail position, and rudder position. The sail can be quickly reefed by pulling up the boom with the brailing line, and fully up is the standard reefed position for launching and landing the boat. Sailing on the whole is more relaxing than with an ACA sailing canoe, although speeds up to 12 knots have been reported with this model. Up to now, when sailing with the outrigger with ACA sailing canoes in moderate winds I have found overall speed to windward about the same as 5 meter ACA sailing canoes, although I am still learning how to sail it.
Disaster strikes! On my trip to Wye Island during the Midatlantic Small Craft Messabout (with Bill and John in sailing canoes), my windsurfing mast snapped in moderate winds and I had to be towed back to the museum. The graphite mast was very old and probably previously repaired, so I don’t think this indicates a design flaw. However, I think that a windsurfing mast is probably only marginally adequate to support the 65 sq. ft. crabclaw sail. I have since replaced it with a more robust aluminum mast. I also broke the connection of the ama to the aiko the following day and had to be rescued. This has also been beefed up and more foam added to the boat for increased flotation. Failure of attachment of the ama is more serious as the boat has no stability without the ama properly attached. Overall, a Hawaiian outrigger takes a little more time to set up and transport than a monohull sailing canoe. The main hull weighs about the same as an ACA sailing canoe and so can be car topped together with the ama. As I get older it may become more frequently trailered. It requires about ten minutes more time to put together or take apart. Frankly, I’d rather keep it together, stored on a sandy beach. Right now the sandy beaches are all under a foot of snow.

Canoe Sailor 46 page 8 http://canusail.org/ Before My Time: Leo, Adam and Rolf Fay Jordaens In the early, heady, days of Championship decked canoe sailing in the last century, few former stars of the racing field were more supportive of the sport than ACA members Leo Friede, Adam Wahl and Rolf Armstrong. Though their racing days were long gone when we met them, they were still drawn to the sport as they dropped by the City Island Canoe and Yacht Club to reminisce about their 16x30 days; and discussed their hull, which eventually morphed from a ketch to a sloop rigged 17 footer. Leo Friede won his first race in 1907 and captured the Elliot trophy by 1909.
In 1913, Friede asked W.P. Stephens to design for him ‘a winning decked canoe hull’ … and Mermaid was the result. With hooped sail rigging, on 2 hollow masts, Friede was ready to take his No. 7 Mermaid to a 1914 NY Canoe Club International Challenge Cup competition against Canada, which he won! As National Champ, he enjoyed successful wins of the ACA Challenge Cup of 1914-16, 1919-1920, 1922, 1925-26 –or, a series of 8 wins in as many years. By day, Leo worked on Wall Street, but on his days off, he was a sailing star, a national champ, who was followed by the New York Times, as it devoted many pages to his victories.
Adam Wahl lived in Throgs Neck, straight across from the C.I Canoe & Yacht Club. He sailed Centaur across Eastchester Bay to the Club and chatted with the decked canoe sailors about ketch rigging as opposed to sloop etc.. Twice, Frank Jordaens and I sailed our boats over to his cottage, beached them and visited. In the twenties and thirties, he began nipping at Leo’s heels as he sailed #4 Centaur, a boat in which he was a National Champ, won the Paul Butler trophy of 1924 and trophied in the Elliot races of 1936-37. He won one of the two 1933 Elimination races for the 1933 International Challenge Cup, but in the end, lost to Friede. Pictures of him sailing, show him fully clothed in black suit and hat, as though he had rigged up Centaur, with no time left to properly dress for a race.
The NYC Club International Challenge Cup was first offered in 1885, just four years before Rolf Armstrong was born in 1889. He was past his championship prime when Frank Jordaens and I first met him at the Canoe Club on City Island and it was years before we knew that Rolf was a world famous artist, the father of ‘pin-up-art.’ In the thirties, sailing ketch rigged Mannequin, he showed up in the newspaper columns with reports of successful competitions for the Nationals, Mab, Mermaid, etc. Always a formidable competitor, Rolf qualified for the NYCanoe Club International Challenge Cup elimination races of 1933, a race he would have dearly loved to win, but lost to Friede. [Wahl placed second]. Interestingly, Rolf won the Crane in 1934, Adam won it in ’35 and Leo won in 1936.
With their ketch rigged, varnished, 16x30 hulls of yesteryear, Leo, Adam and Rolf played an important role in the development of the monohull of today and these three helmsmen deserve to be remembered for their contributions to the sport, as well as their love of IC racing and their enormous talent as champions!
