Equipment Report: Derek Park / Jim Albone

  • OC1 Rack builds and Hale roof; Bruce been reviewing with Greg.  Wood has lasted the last 18 years so it would be less expensive to do wood.  Roof to be possibly chain link to keep branches from falling.  Looking at ways to put ama’s in securely.  Front loading designs.  Greg concerned about extending Hale roof due to the structural integrity.  Greg will have plans drawn up within a week or two for the OC1 racks and be able to get started.  Will need to notify OC1 rack members they will need to remove canoes temporarily during build.    
  • New Dollie – wheels are still on order
  • Ho’omaluō Ama / Iakos; Ama is on order, once completed will move forward with Iakos.  (Ama by Don Weir) – No update.  Derek testing where to place Iakos.
  • J4 will go down Monday this week for left side gunnel split
  • Makana I Ke Kai spray skirt modification has been completed.
  • Cover for Kanelike is ripped need to have repaired and have buckles added to the covers for Makana I Ke Kei and Kama O Kalani
  • Kama O Kalani cracks need repair, discussed previously making hull modifications to make him faster.  If we do the repairs we should consider the hull modifications.  $9,300 cost for hull modifications.  Canoe would have to be water lined again.  Will wait to decide and have cracks work done until November to also see if Ho’omaluō is approved as koa by moku.
