| This winning six-man outrigger canoe is fast!
The Mirage surfs with ease and has an outstanding record of
victories in nearly all of the major outrigger races in recent
years. Paddling clubs have taken note and the Mirage is now
the boat of choice for the world's best outrigger teams. The
Mirage most recently won first, second and third in the famous
Molokai Hoe Race in 2001.
The Mirage's unique hull was designed along the same concept
as America's Cup yachts. The hull's rocker is different than
anything out there; it begins as a smooth curve at the bow
and straightens out towards the stern. This shape allows the
boat to stay horizontal in most ocean conditions and surfing
is made easier by sliding down forward of the swells and waves.
The details and quality of the construction of the Mirage
are superb. Built with the best possible composite materials,
the Mirage conforms to HCRA and KOA specifications. A special
foam core vacuum bagged laminate is available on custom order
and weighs in at 265-290 lbs. The integrated canvas/spray
deck track is laminated into the side of the boat creating
a clean and easy to use system.
The Mirage - the boat of choice! |
