outrigger canoe
Boat with pontoon
An outrigger canoe is a narrow boat stabilized by one or more lateral floats (outriggers) attached by poles extending from the hull.
Traditional to Pacific Island cultures, these canoes remain central to Hawaiian and Polynesian voyaging and racing.
The outrigger prevents capsizing in rough water while allowing a sleek, fast hull design: We paddled the outrigger canoe through the surf.
