Hi Everybody!
New to this forum. Live way up north in CA (Humboldt County) and want to get some OC1 training in. Paddled in San Diego for a few years with SDOCC. Just finished my first Pailolo run and some of the guys did Maliko. I didn't have the OC1 experience to feel comfortable - trying to change that for next year. It looked like a great time.
Just starting to delve in to woodworking and working on plans to build a cedar-strip OC1 canoe. Know it's a lot of work but I have the time and tools and want to give it a go. Working on a .yak file from the kayak foundry software if anyone wants to take a look. Want to do a sit-on-top with a rudder.
Mahalo,
Luke

I've seen several strip-wood canoes and kayaks, but never an OC-1. Should be a beautiful boat! Be sure to post photos and let us know how it paddles!

Something I've always thought would be neat. If you're going to do all that work, you might as well start with a good OC1 design. The Yak design is all wrong for OC1. Wrong shape, wrong cockpit placement. Get your lofting from a Pueo or Scorpius. Even a Naia would be much better.

Gary Dierking has plans for an OC1.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will be definitely posting progress as it goes (once I get past the design stage anyways and start building.)
Thanks chrislonie - figured the design would be off - totally green when it comes to any kind of boat design. Been doing a lot of reading though, trying to figure it out. Saw someone else suggest getting the dimensions from a manufactured OC1. After reading around, though, seems like some people frown on that - don't want to do anything against the rules, but I can't get a firm handle on what would be appropriate - any thoughts? I'm not against paying for quality plans - would suck to spend all that time and end up with over-sized wall art...
surfseeker: Thanks for the lead! Saw that his webpage had all sailing outriggers - I'm going to email him about an OC1 design.
Again - thanks all for the feedback! I'll keep progress posted.
Cheers,
Luke

Hi Luke, been there done that, a few years ago I profiled an oc1 hurricane and an oc2 and converted to yak file. The yak files are here in my knowledge box https://www.box.com/shared/6klhgd5pvd
Cheers R
BTW, not posted that box for some time so new members may find some interesting stuff within the 3pages of knowledge archives.

Hi Rambo, I was looking at your OC1 design and had some questions. First was wondering why there were two cockpits? Also noticed the length was 24', which is quite a bit longer than the Hurricane. Wondering if this was maybe supposed to be the OC2 v1 file (noticed that the second file was named OC2 v2)?
BTW - the info there is awesome - great for a beginning OC1 paddler - thanks!
Luke
