Sailing rig details for the skin-on-frame outrigger canoe AL DEMANY CHIMAN

As I work away on refinements to the sailing rig for my skin-on-frame outrigger sailing canoe AL DEMANY CHIMAN,I wanted to show off a few more details of the rig as it is. I posted a variant of this view before,but I think this is a better picture. It gives a sense of the overall layout and the different rig elements.

Here is the steer oar and its chalk. This set-up worked reasonably well,though I might eventually want to put some weight on blade end.

This view shows the hiking plank and mainsheet leads.

Finally,some detail on the finished blocks,which I hand made from paduak.

I can’t wait to get her going again next season.
