May be a little late, but I see that you neer got any direct answers to your question. maybe you can get more info from people who race these boats.

The contact person for one of the outrigger canoe racing clubs has posted this information:

Tamsen Burns

Web Wahine

O Kalani Outrigger Canoe Club

Alameda, CA 94501

E-mail is: hui_okalani@yahoo.com

I got this information from: http://ebiz.netopia.com/okalani/door/

These people deal with 6-man (or 6-person) outrigger canoes, but they may be able to help you find plans for a smaller design.

some of the other links I found on outrigger canoe racing may also lead to more information for you:

Hope this helps.
