If this is what the new 2man looks like I wonder what the new 1man will be? Anyone paddled one yet?

Hello everybody,

It might be worthwhile to continue collecting pictures of OC 1 for the little 'museum' again.

Send an email with the pic as attachment to the address given on the web site.

New and old models, if you have additional text info, it will be posted, too.

Is the race ON this Sunday, or is it canceled?
Does the sponsor Makaha Canoe Club still exist?

I know that seats are hard to come by with club affiliations. But she is 45 years old with 30 years experience. Can paddle seats 1-6 no problem. Since ’98 has crossed The Channel 6 times paddling and steering with 4 top ten finishing crews; 3rd place Hamilton crew’08, and Winning Liberty Cup crew ’07. Will be competing in Napali Challenge race in August, getting to Oahu on Monday 8/16.
Post response or pm me. Thx.

Aloha from Canada,
Our men's crew - Vancouver Island Va'a is planning on participating in this years Moloka'i Hoe (for the first time). We have been watching the website for updates to the entry forms etc, but for some reason, none of the links work. Is there another website out there that we can download all the required forms?

Mahalo

With this years big high tide at 3:00 pm, Lane one should be the lane of choice for the later races.

Anyone got them?

Anyone else have shoulder problems? I have had some in the past, broken collarbone and separated (20yrs ago) but I've been paddling oc-1's for about a year and a half and have developed chronic pain in my left shoulder joint. Is this common? Don't want to give it up cuz I love the time on the water and I like the workout.

After sitting on an OC1 for a mumber of times waiting to go on a Hawaii Kai run ..It started to bother me why everyone would get three or four boat lengths ahead of me... without putting a paddle in the water and just moved by the wind at their back. I am 215 pounds.....they are under 180 pounds. Same canoes. It is obvious that the ligher guys have an advantage that is not due to strength, endurance or technique when it comes to a downwind run. Us bigger guys are and will always be at a disadvantage.
