Re: Comparing new OC-1 solos for 200+lbs
... waters. It is a great boat and the 20/20 has more volume and is a more refined design overall. I am also loving my Condor, now known as the "Green Banana". Great boat, Rodeo Clown nailed this one, fast, forgiving and dry. All of the fun with half the guilt of paddling an Octane 91.

Re: River Elf Storm Chaser
... chines, higher volume, etc and probably around 12'-13' long - yet, also borrow from modern slalom C-2 design with a slight continuous rocker (banana hull) and close, inline/centered cockpits. Although the plug has not been started, we are very serious about it - and, it sounds like we've got ...

Re: River Elf Storm Chaser
... and there was no problem with stability at that height. Compared to my current OC-1, an Option, (Yes, I know, it’s like comparing an orange to a banana,) the Storm Chaser tracked easier, yet wasn’t difficult to turn. It was quicker by far to accelerate, and much faster in cruise mode. I gleefully ...

Re: saddle location
... literature) is swedeform, and if weight is too far forward, it tracks badly. The Caption is symmetrical, I believe, more like a bottom-flattened banana. Small trim changes shouldn't affect it. Still, it's nice to be able to adjust.

Plywood OC1 by Phil Green
... a saddle, paint or varnish and there you go! Performance: Short, stubby and heavily rockered this boat, especially if painted yellow, looks like a banana and has similar directional stability; probably slightly better than a coracle, but you get the idea. This renders it pretty useless on flat ...

Re: Gunnel repair
Shape it in a long banana shape, make a piece of wood that will match at the matting surfaces, epoxy, clamps, and when dry shape to the same profile as the rest of the gunnel, oil and go paddle!!
