: I just checked with a friend that has a FG shop. He would be
: willing to make them for you for about $65. each. He is also
: willing to send you an old coaming mold so you can make your
: own, just cover the shipping on the mold.
: It would be helpful to know more about the design direction if you
: are free to disclose. Questions like, is this for the
: traditional 400 lb class, or the lightweight unlimited class?
: Will you be doing crew changes at sea? Width of canoe 17"-
: 19"?
: I am also involved in an outrigger project with the local tribe so
: if you prefer to not disclose specs. I understand, the offer
: still stands for the coamings or mold. Just send an email for
: contact information.

: Mahalo, (I like that term, it would be nice to hear it more on the

Aloha Reg,

Thanks for your response.

I will pass this info along to my partner and go from there.

We are designing a lightweight unlimited class boat and won't be doing changes in this particular design as most of these boats here in Hawaii are usually used for Iron races. It is cool that people are starting to get into providing more of these type canoes as only a few individuals have been doing this type of thing and popularity is increasing each season as more and more races to accommodate these boats are springing up every year.

Mahalo again
