This third meeting in the CORA town hall series is all about the development of OC1s (solo outrigger canoes), and the merits of the range of OC1s presently on the market. Canadian paddler Bob Stewart, who paddles out of Vancouver BC and Maui Hawaii, will join the CORA board and describe his colourful history with OC1s, of which he’s owned and paddled more than any cold-water Canadian we know of. Bob and CORA board directors will review the recent historical development of solo outriggers, from initial designs 30 years ago to the current breed of carbon / computer-aided-design constructed boats that have swept the paddling world.

SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 2021 / 4:00PM – 5.30PM (Pacific)
Presented by Kamini Jain and Andrea Dillon

The pandemic has given our vibrant solo canoe community a huge boost. Whether new or a veteran, one of the things we know about outrigger canoe is that there is always a way we can get faster. Keys to success include knowing what resources are available and how to utilize them for the most benefit. Any club, regardless of size or resident coaching, can develop and build a successful plan.

Kamini and Andrea will discuss resources such as technical coaching, training programs, training partners, mentors and machines; how to use them and how to choose them.
