Finally, an easy to build paddling & sailing OC1 outrigger canoe
The design goals for the Avoca Outrigger were it had to have foot pedal steering, be fast under paddle power, have plenty of buoyancy for one person plus a small child or dog or camping/fishing gear, light enough to lift onto a car's roof racks and able to sail across or downwind.
I ticked all of my Avoca Outrigger design goals plus it's also inexpensive to build and beautiful to look at!
Classic style watercraft is our passion
The Avoca Outrigger measures 17 feet long, with the main hull (vaka) weighing around 13kg and a fully rigged weight of about 18 kg—light enough for anyone to handle on and off the water.

Testimonial from Mark in Israel
"As a kid, I had loads of fun with my dad on the water and for years I've wanted to build something like this. Finally, I found Aaron on YouTube and saw that he'd made his super detailed plans.
The Facebook group has provided incredible support answering all questions and concerns.
I’ve so enjoyed working for the first time with new materials: polyurethane glue, fibreglass & epoxy. I probably wouldn’t have done it without what Aaron has put together, he’s thought of everything.
Thanks mate!
If you are reading this, then you’re ready to start, you can do it! Buy the plans, if you don’t know where to buy the plywood, ask the Facebook group.
It’s such an enjoyable and rewarding project."
