I Have the prototype of the “Outrigger 26”, also called the “Somersault”. I originally purchased the boat to restore and sail inter-island in Hawaii, but that “dream” never materialized. Work, family, and you know… 26’ Over all. Demountable, no interior, rotating mast, I don’t think the sails are still good. All rigging. The person that I purchased the boat from had been sailing it so I think with some new sails, it is sailable. Dick Newick checked it out about 10 years ago and felt it was still good. No rot. The boat has been stored in Colorado for 17 years. I’m 74 and still actively involved in work, etc, and still too busy, so I don’t think I’ll get the opportunity to restore it. I am interested to give it to someone that can come to Colorado and take it. The trailer needs some work, so some time will be require to check it out before it can be taken. sal [email protected] 303-674-1950

Do you have the boat still? Any details on what the trailer needs? Tires, Bearings, welding???

Outrigger 26

Outrigger 26 is a 25 ′ 11 ″ / 7.9 m trimaran sailboat designed by Dick Newick and built by Outrigger Boat Co. (USA) starting in 1987.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Outriggers on canoes and sailboat- Proas, Trimarans, even Catamarans.

Shas Cho on my forum wrote a number of questions to do with our outrigger plan that can be added to a range of different canoes and kayaks –

• Volumes, submersible, non submersible.
• How do different types handle and so on.

Just as a first example … here are some of our Drop in Outriggers fitted to a paddling canoe in a medium breeze with some strong gusts.

There are certainly ways to go faster.  But what general conclusions can we draw from looking at different types?

Very general questions – which are often the most interesting type.

Please excuse me if this has already been discussed (I’m reading the archived articles as fast as I can!) ; I’ve been looking at commercial and home-built outriggers for canoes and am puzzled at the apparent lack of either rhyme or reason regarding the optimum size of the equipment.

There are very many more poor designs of ama than there are excellent ones, but there are a bunch of reasonable compromise ones too.

The amas (dismissing the crab pot traps and the swimming pool noodles) appear to be anything from one quarter the length of the boat to the full boat length.

Great observation. For excellent speed the best solution is for something like the length of the middle hull.  But this can be too complicated and expensive and hard to move around.  So often a smaller size is chosen. Amas, single or double, add two things to the boat and have to  be analysed from both of those directions. 1/ a slender low wetted surface hull compared to the main hull 2/ lots of stability This doesn’t really differ from normal multihull design – all the standard texts will fill in details.

“Submersible Amas”

So if you push the ama down in the water to deck level – it will have a maximum displacement.  My drop in outriggers have a displacement around (I can’t really remember) – but maybe 140 t0 200 lbs. This is my version Lets do the Maths.  Main hull – 45lbs amas 2 x 10 lbs = 20lbs crossbeams 2 x 10lbs = 20lbs Rudder, spars and stuff – 30lbs maybe Person – use a 170lb average. That all comes to 300lbs.  So what is going to happen when the boat catches the wind and starts heeling?

The weight is gradually transferred to the leeward ama.  It will disappear under the water when the main hull is half lifted out of the water.  This will slow the boat down but also it provides LOTS of warning that the boat is loading up and the rudder cannot come out of the water as the main hull cannot lift.

This is termed a submersible ama design. It doesn’t use all the available power from the sails and it tells you to ease the sheet or start climbing out to windward yourself

“Non-submersible Amas”

You can make the ama longer and more buoyant than the overall weight.  This is another boat that was at the SAIL OKLAHOMA EVENT last weekend.  So nice to have fresh photos!

The event is on every year and had (appropriately) multihull designer Richard Woods, Small boat adventurer Howard Rice, Skin on frame designer Dave Gentry, polymath designer/instructor David Nicholls and Michael Storer (er, me)

Ok … cutting to the chase.  These hulls are double the length also wider and deeper so you would have to guess that the volume was around 400 to 500lbs per ama. If the wind loads up the sail there might be enough volume in the hull to allow the main hull to lift out of the water

But at that point the sails will have to be developing twice the power of my outrigger. As the main hull lifts there will be an increase of speed as wetted surface is reduced, then a progressive loss of control as the rudder is pulled up out of the water.

The same smart helmsperson that sailed my hypothetical submersible hull boat would be waiting for any slushy feeling in the rudder and ease the sheet whenever he or she felt it.  Some ocean going trimarans have rudders in all three hulls so they can keep pushing hard with the main rudder out of the water. Yet another way is sometimes seen on Proas and some indigenous boats. Dave Gentry’s super elegant outrigger at the same weekend has this setup.

This gives resting and low speed stability to a very narrow hull.  It can be used for sailing if the crew transfer their weight to windward (a windward ama, platform, leaning plank or this can be to windward as a Pacific type Proa)

This has little ability to support much of the boat weight at all but is there to slow the roll of the boat as the load comes on.  A sharp crew notices this and adjusts sails, their position or other factors to either provide the stability needed or reduce the heeling force.

A nice case study – amas for foiling multis

An interesting variant of this idea is the record sailing boat Hydroptere.

The foils out on the amas provide all the righting moment in the photo, but to get some lift from them the boat needs to be moving.

But it can’t get moving without any stability to it has small buoyant amas – not enough to get the boat to much speed but enough to start the hydrofoils developing the full sailing lift.

The forces are pretty much similar to a non submersible ama in practice as it is difficult to lose lift – if you are moving fast the foils can support.  But if the boat goes slow in lots of wind it will overpower those little amas easily.  Like the very tiny ama of the skin on frame boat.

I have not seen any reference to the length of the floats produced by your plans (though your pdf file “outriggers drop in Eureka version b” shows the ama as about one half the boat length) … nor have I seen the function of ama length discussed anywhere. Is there no formula for the relative lengths of boat to amas? And aside from the effect on bouyancy, does the width and depth of the amas affect sailing performance? What about the effective beam of the outriggers relative to the beam or length or displacement of the ‘host’ boat? And we haven’t even touched on the fore-and-aft placement of the amas and, separate but related, the akas.

Ama volume, volume distribution, aesthetics – no rules but common sense bounds

Relationship between main hull volume and centres of  ama volume is a big area. if the ama volume is too far aft the bow of the main hull will be forced deeper into the water. Not good for steering – also the trim pushes the bow of the ama under.

Crazy far forward and the stern of the main hull will drag as the boat heels. So something similar in volume position of the main hull. But remember that heeling forces are forward and to leeward too so maybe it makes sense to have the volume of the amas slightly forward of the volume of the main hull. Ok – back to my drop in outriggers .. my starting criteria were that…

• The hulls had to be shorter than an 8ft piece of ply. Then, after that…
• Second criterion was to try and get two decent volume amas (as we have seen volume and beam are what create power) out of a sheet of ply. It wasn’t, but some other designer’s amas have this feature.
• Then I had to choose how much volume. Slenderness ratio of beam to length is much less important than it was once mooted to be. You can have very skinny hulls like a Crowther Twiggy or a very wide main hull like a Farrier – there is much more choice here than people realise – within reason of course.
• So reviewing the simplified cross section there was an aesthetic choice too – that it had to match a reasonable number of potential main hulls.

Decision Points – working up through the grades

I did see a brief mention of fine vs blunt ama entry when someone considered scaling down his Quick Canoe plans to one-third for use as amas, but I don’t recall any conclusions being drawn, other than a mention of lateral resistance when the ama is submerged (No doubt one must consider the intended purpose of the outriggers, whether they are part of the sailing equipment or merely ‘training wheels’).

Yes … from the training wheels of minimal volume amas To the moderate power of the submersible ama – remember that the volume of the ama is about 150lbs – the weight of a person and that person is 5ft from the middle of the boat pushing upwards hard!  Much more power than a single person trapezing on a performance dinghy To the full power of non submersible amas.

All of it is a game to balance performance in terms of increased stability pushing towards maximum volume and maximum boat width. as one factor against

• required stability for intended performance.
• acceptable amount of bulk
• building materials cost
• encumberance for the main hull
• trailer/roofrack weight
• boatshed storage or building space.

Beam and volume add to performance, all the others tend to reduce it. More you can check out design books – this is a link on Amazon .

I remember the Chris White book is pretty reasonable.  The Norwood book which I have in storage is rather nice too.

Any back issues of Multihull magazine have articles from reviews on boats but also a good ongoing discussion about design criteria and practicality that goes back four decades. You can also see a whole bunch of articles on the net by looking for specific things. Maybe readers can put some notes to articles that are more specific in the comments below.

2 thoughts on “Outriggers on canoes and sailboat- Proas, Trimarans, even Catamarans.”

Do slanted Amas give decreased leeway instead of drop keels.They may reduce tacking performance?ie stability in a straight line is very good with veed Amas. On larger cats or Tris, slanted amas are considered a safety factor as they allow the vessel to slide sideways when beam on to large waves, they reduce RI . resistance to Inertia. May be not as applicable in smaller vessels.

Hi Anthony,

One good comparison point for leeway resistance comparison for canted hulls vs centreboards (drop keels) is the Hobie 16. The boat has deep vee hulls that are well immersed.

But through the years the Hobie sailors have raked (leaned) the rig back to transfer as much load as possible to the deep rudder foils.

This indicates the experience of multihull sailors (actually all sailors, no matter whether mono or multi in general that a deep foil centreboard (drop keel) will give much better resistance to leeway than an immersed hull or shoal keel.

In general foil depth trumps hull area in just about every case.

As far as resistance to flipping in a beam sea a round hull with daggerboard retracted will sideslip more than a deeper vee hull with no centreboard. It is purely about the immersed area which a vee hull has more of. Hull slanting might make some difference but much less than the effect of the pure lateral area presented by the immersed leeward hull.

Best Regards Michael Storer

ABOUT TRIMARAN BOATS

A trimaran is a type of multihull sailboat with three individual hulls, consisting of the main central hull and the two smaller outrigger hulls.

Modern trimarans look futuristic with their sharp hulls design and racing rigs, but the first trimarans were built by indigenous Polynesians and other Pacific islanders almost 4,000 years ago.

During the 1960's and 1970's trimarans gained in popularity, mainly in the racing boat sector, but now, new manufacturers such as Neel Trimarans have found a clever gap in the market, gaining serious interest from modern sailors offering the performance benefits of a trimaran with the type of accommodation offered in a cruising catamaran .

Happy Sailing!

Imagine a craft that's equally adept at sailing at or above wind-speed and motoring at up to 15 knots. A craft with a stable 18' beam that easily retracts to a trailer-able 8'6". Imagine a craft that is engineered and built using the latest technology resulting in a super-light, incredibly strong laminate. Now imagine that craft is trailer-able, enabling you to create new adventures on cruising grounds you have always dreamed of sailing. In broad strokes, these are the qualities of the Telstar 28 Trimaran.

This one owner Telstar was shipped with almost every avalalbe option including the taller mast and performance sail package, and then further upgraded by her owner who has cruised her to the Chesapake, Bahamas, Keys, and Gulf Coast.  No longer in production, these well concieved tralerable tri's offer the ulltimate in cruising fun and flexibilty at a super affordable price.

I was present for the factory commissoning and sea trial of Torreya and have had the pleasure of saling aboard her many times since.  She moves extremely well in the lightest of airs,  and when the wind picks up the fun really begins.  

TORREYA  is priced to sell and will not be on the market long.... don't miss your chance!

The T2 surpasses the challenge of combining optimal hull shapes, a performance rig, a convenient deck arrangement, and roomy cockpit - all with a large and comfortable interior arrangement. Sailors stepping inside the main salon are immediately taken with the light and airy interior thanks to the wide portlight array of windows and two overhead Bomar hatches. In addition, the substantial gangway with two steps makes entering and exiting, even with gear, sure and easy. Sailors will also appreciate a rather uncommon trait among trimarans this size; a full 6' of headroom. The centerpiece of the T28's salon is a teakwood table with comfortable seating for six adults. Up front, a separate head with shower provides privacy and extra storage. Additional storage is available on the port side of the centerboard case, integrated bins on the main bulkhead, galley storage, navigation station storage, and beneath the cockpit. The outriggers also supply another major storage area.

Whether you?re out for a day sail or a long weekend, the T2's galley makes it easy to produce an organized meal for you and your crew. There's plenty of countertop area and the main table is within passing distance. A stainless steel sink with hand-pump faucet provides access to 30 gallons of fresh water. The two-burner propane stove with broiler provides a surprising amount of versatility in preparing hot meals. There's also a good amount of galley storage with slide cabinets above and bin storage under and behind the stove. For extra canned storage, there's a perfect nook on the port-side of the centerboard case. An optional 12-volt cooler can be installed in the locker opposite the galley or simply make use of a larger cooler stored on the port side of the centerboard case. For grill-chefs, the stainless-steel along the cockpit makes a prime spot for attaching your propane grill.

The main hull design on the T2 is based on the proven hull-shape of the Gemini 105Mc catamaran.The 8-to-1 beam, tear-drop shape enables the bow to slice through waves with minimal effort while still maintaining good load-carrying capability further aft. A low rocker design on the main hull also minimizes pitching, providing smoother, faster performance. The T2's outrigger hulls evolved from the original Telstar outrigger hulls, only wider and longer with a 15-to-1 beam-to-length ratio.The semi-circular outrigger hull shapes taper to wave-piercing bow and submersible transom to reduce drag. With a 5' dead-rise from the keel, the outrigger shape also provides excellent lifting force to keep the T2 close to the wind.
