Building Outrigger Sailing Canoes

I have to admit - I am not big fan of outriggers but I was very impressed after reading this book. This book gives very good overview of outriggers and instructions should be detailed enough to build your own sailing canoe. Writer's attitude is great: build traditional sailing canoes (not only because they are traditonal) but with new building methods. I have to store this book for some 25 years. Then I am retired and live somewhere in northern Brazil. I believe that's a good place to build and sail the outrigger sailing sailing canoe.
You should find the book from www.amazon.com (ISBN-10:0071487913).

Centerboard

I tried to find [again] instructions to build a simple pivoting centerboard... Some reason I was not too keen about the previous post - maybe it just looked too experimental and not strong enough. BUT, this one here actually looks pretty good, simple and strong enough. Is suppose the basic design principles are widely used but I had problems to find simple drawings like this one.
