Alan:
They are a home-grown design that underwent field improvements. The floats are crab pot floats that I picked up for $3.99 each, the original outrigger was the shaft of a Greenland paddle that I cut the blades off of. The original ended up being too short. I used a full Greenland paddle with the floats and it worked perfectly. There was no way she could roll it. There are some photos on my site that detail the design (one is below).

Regards,

Marcel
