How to Steer an Outrigger Canoe (OC6)

  • 26 Mar 2016
  • 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
  • Victoria Canoe & Kayak Club, 355 Gorge Rd W, Victoria, BC V9A 1M9

Registration

  • Maybe you have been paddling outrigger canoes for years but have never had the opportunity to steer. Doubtless you've wondered what needs to be done to keep the boat pointed in the right direction. Just how should you poke and exactly when? How should you change your style to accommodate high winds and big swell? There is a good deal more to steering a canoe than you realize. Until you know how to steer that boat you pull around three hours a day, you haven't really enjoyed the whole of outrigger canoeing.
