Skin-on-Frame: outrigger update

Thought some of you might be interested . . . .
I've been paddling and sailing a SOF outrigger canoe a lot, lately. I built her on a lark, but have only grown more and more fond of her. The "2x4" ama continues to impress me with how something so simple functions so well {I suppose that's why "sticks as outriggers" have continued to be used for many thousands of years in the Pacific}.

Anyway, here's a short video of some sailing in her last weekend. Fun stuff, in 10kts of wind or so.
