Ideas welcome – beginning the redesign / rebuild of AL DEMANY CHIMAN’s ama

Tim Shaw — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 02:21:37 +0000

As I have noted before, one of the biggest issues I have found with the skin-on-frame outrigger canoe AL DEMANY CHIMAN is that the ama isn’t working out. The shape is a bit off and it ships too much water. Having completed a number of smaller maintenance items since calling an end to the season, [...] Related posts:

It was a nice day, I had the whole morning, and, frankly, it was time. Today I put the skin-on-frame outrigger canoe together for the first time: wa’a, iakos, and ama – the whole shebang.

Progress on the skin-on-frame outrigger canoe – an ama slowly takes shape

Tim Shaw — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 21:11:05 +0000

I have been making progress on the skin-on-frame outrigger canoe [note to self: you have to name this thing] on two fronts: a) updating the design a bit and b) building the ama. I hope to have the design updates done soon. I nudged the ama forward as much as I could (maybe six inches), [...] No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.
