I've never see a folding outrigger for an OC-1 however there are folding outriggers on the Hobie sailing kayaks.

Are you wanting to sail or are you just wanting stabilazation on the kayak?

If you want to sail you might look at diy-tris.com for a set of homebuilt folding outriggers. Frank Smoot does not sell plans (yet) but the concept is pretty well explained.

Another kayak like folding sailboat is here: http://www.dixdesign.com/Trika_540
