I wonder what the stability on these would be like for standing
@rick928Ай бұрын
I was able to stand up and cast from the kayak (calm day) Not something I would normally do but just wanted to see if it was possible.

@rick928 Hi, seeing as this was such an old video, I didn't really expect a response. Are you able to put both feet and stand on one side of the kyak with the outriggers, I'm just curious because I'm thinking about making mine the length of my kyak (for greater stability) and making them far enough out they didn't affect my paddle stroke. Although I'm worried it might be harder to get going once in the water, any thoughts? I think even now, your design is by far the best out there
@rick92829 күн бұрын
@@codyashcraft7983 I am able to stand on one side but with the kayak being narrow it's not a stance you would naturally take (one foot either side is more natural / comfortable ) Those pontoons give tremendous buoyancy and as such it's just about impossible to flip the kayak. I'm please with this design as it gives me fantastic buoyancy along with the pontoons being 'out of the way' plus I always have the option to use the kayak without them if I wish.

Placing hot sand in a pvc tube you can shape it how ever you want. The hotter the sand the more it will become playable.

Very well done job on those out riggers. I plan to get a Jonny bass 100 and throw an outboard on the back. As I plan to go open water on it I was looking to buy a kit to make it more like a mini trimaran however I think I am sold on your workmanship. And will likely end up building it myself. Thanks

Pros and cons to outriggers buddy ?... I'm new to kayaking, I'm a bit guy and think a tad more boyancy wouldn't be a bad thing
@rick9282 жыл бұрын
The pro is definitely the added stability, the only con is if you want to go between narrow rocks (close to shore, exploring)

Having tried plumbing pipe, and even Round barrel pontoons, there is one fundamental design flaw is that when buoyancy goes over 50% of a round curve it wants to be a submarine. That is why boats keep flaring up to the gunwales, exponetial buoyancy. (Max). Look at what traditional outrigger are. A piece of curved lightweight,palm trunk or something that won’t take effort to make airtight. Pool noodles ,foam, as we call them in oz. Australia. Tried coke bottles taped together with tape. All I can see on KZbin is peoples attempted efforts, with no performance follow up videos. Look for results videos before you watch the “how too” .(stay on line as long as possible) I’m just saying

@rick9283 жыл бұрын
They are hollow. Filling them with foam would serve no purpose. Also, being hollow (empty) allows you to 'hear' if you have a small leak (you can hear water sloshing inside when attaching/removing the outriggers) you then know you need to fix any leaks before it gets any worse.
