Paddling should be for everyone. Right now, people of varying abilities worry about safety on the water. We're changing that. With a stable V12 boat, anyone, regardless of ability, can experience the joy and freedom of outrigger canoing safely.

The V12: confidence on the water

Two outrigger canoes, lashed together side by side, create a V12. A super-stable platform with exceptional safety and flotation. This configuration:

• Allows participants with limited balance or mobility to sit comfortably without fear of tipping
• Gives volunteers confidence to focus on teaching, not rescuing
• Opens paddling to people who thought it was never an option for them

What we need

We already operate one outrigger canoe. To build a V12, we need a second boat. With this boat, we'll launch come-try days where people with disabilities can experience paddling firsthand, whether they've paddled before or never set foot in a boat. They can sit in, learn, and discover the joy of outrigger canoing safely.
