| + | //In general, the boat is set up very traditionally. No fancy rudders, boards, or anything not found in the Pacific a few hundred years ago.// | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | //The steering oar has a line wrapped around it, ending in the cleat. Effective and pretty quick to swap sides. In practice the oar was usually just trailing in the water, not needed to steer the boat on any point of sail. We found the forked sticks on the beach.// | ||

| + | |||
| + | //Trailer setup for short distance travelling, very quick to rig this way// | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{:outrigger-canoe:newyears2019:dsc_0373.jpg?600|Long distance trailer setup}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | //For full speed travel I still like to fully disassemble// | ||
| + | |||
| + | Below are some gps tracks of the four days of sailing. Wind was generally pretty light. Upwind travel didn't feel very efficient, but the tracks show pretty consistent upwind progress. As long as I kept out of the tide! The only thing preventing leeway is the hull shape. Although a leeboard is shown at times, this wasn't balancing right with this sail, and caused the boat to bear away. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The striped regions on the map are tidal, sand banks at low tide. I was at times sailing in knee deep water, including upwind! | ||
