DESIGN REQUIREMENT
A highly seaworthy boat, for coastal sailing in Southern Australia, yet light enough to be brought up the high tide mark on a beach single handed and has some shelter from the elements for the occupant

DESIGN SOLUTION
A sailing outrigger canoe, with a single outrigger using water ballast and two wheels

DESIGN PARTICULARS

• LOA = 18.5ft
• Boat can be disassenbled quickly via use of lashings
• Outrigger can be removed quickly via undoing lashings to reduce weight
• Distance between Main Hull and outrigger centerlines = 7.5ft
• Kickup rudder - will not break on grounding
  
  
• Kickup centerboard - will not break on grounding
• Outrigger can use up to 30kg of water ballast to increase righting moment
• Outrigger is light enough to be righted single handed if boat tips in deep water
• Safety ama provides a base for the stay, also provides protection against tipping
• Wheels fold back when not in use, assist greatly in getting boat up the beach
  
  
• Midsection freeboard of main hull = 41cm at 250kg laden
• Width of main hull at chine = 56cm - just wide enough to lie down in
• Main hull maximum width = 77cm
• Outrigger (ama) is 15ft long and lightly built to assist manhandling it about and to assist in righting boat if tipped
• Rig is bermudan with combined area of 100 square feet - I have the mast, boom and sails already
