outrigger canoes
Float-braced paddle boats
Outrigger canoes are canoes fitted with lateral floats extending from the hull on one or both sides, providing stability in open water.
The design originated in Pacific Island cultures for ocean voyaging and fishing.
Modern outrigger canoes are used for racing and recreation: The outrigger canoe team practiced in the harbor every morning.
