Quiquec - outrigger canoe

Browsing through Youtube I discovered this charming 5.6m outrigger canoe named QUIQUEC, uploaded and built by Norbert Rettig of Hockenheim, DE. The 12 square meter lug rig is wonderfully old school but the canoe moves very well even so, and the low center of effort would certainly be appreciated with the lovely torpedo-shaped low-volume ama. All the spars, ama and beams fit neatly inside the hull for storage and transport on the roof of a car. Speedy, practical, quick-to-rig and easy on the eyes, what’s not to like?

The first melody is out of this world beautiful in my humble opinion. I love it. The boat is quite impressive also. I have built a shunting proa myself.
