I ride a Zephyr and feel like I'm trimmed by the stern when paddling. (6' / 250lbs) I had a shorter seat but it felt uncomfortable with my knees so high. I've thought about waterlining the canoe with me sitting on it but not sure that will do any good without some kind of baseline to compare it to?

How can I determine how the canoe is trimmed with me in it?

Awesome conditions, spectacular scenery! Trades 15-20 mph. MArk Frazier and Gene Lopez set the buoys offering a punishing mile long upwind leg, turning the buoy for a great surf run to another buoy off the Hanalei "Bowl" turning upwind for a 500 yard trudge to the finish. Peter Doories from AUS appeared to have a good lead until the Hanalei Bowl area and allowed local canoe builder Kelly Foster to catch up. Both turned the last buoy for a sprint home w/ Peter edging Kelly by 5 seconds. Matt Carter of AUS was third w/ Jody Simpson 4th, Danny Sheard (AUS) 5th.

Aloha Gang,
I am installing new cables on my OC-1, is there a particular "crimper" tool that is used? I have a Thomas & Betts crimper that I use for electrical terminations but I notice that it's not making a clean "crimp". I know that it will be covered with heat shrink but I prefer a much cleaner finish! Mahalo for the input!

Can any one tell me what "paddle as one" would be in Hawaiian?

This would be fun to do as a final event on race day for OC1 or OC2......or event OC6 for that matter.
Filmed last weekend.

You could have the Pueos vs the Others ....hehe You can watch it in HD

It's akin to Knights on horseback Charging headon in a Duel with Lancers

Any suggestions on storing an OC-1 in a carport? I'm currently storing my OC-1 in my living room and I would really like to store it out in the carport. I am afraid of it getting stolen outside.
