Aloha - I'm a want-to-be OC1 recreational paddler and am looking for instructions on paddling here as well as someone to help me find the perfect :) canoe... Any suggestions is appreciated!
I'm growing interest on the OC2 concept.
Looking at the products available, I was wondering :
1) Is there a huge difference between a short ama, only including the rear paddler, and a long one, including both paddlers ?
2) Is it possible, if ever made, to build an OC2 rudderless ?
3) For those who use or have tried OC2, which one is the best for flat to moderate conditions ?
Our club is located in New York City and, as you can probably imagine, space for us comes at a serious premium. Because of our space constraints, one of our canoes is stored unrigged. The unrigged canoe is kept on the dock, while the rigged ama and iakos are stored in the boathouse. When crews want to use the canoe they just rig the canoe with quickstraps.
so i just got my own oc-1 hurricane, A bit of a beater but its water tight and floats so its good enough for me. ANYWAYS! i usually tend to paddle out of lanikai or areas where theirs no hose readily available. to add to it, i store my boat at A storage place over here that also doesnt have a hose since where i live theirs no room to store my boat and i dont feel safe having it in kalihi anyways....
