Zephyr OC1


The Zephyr is the latest and most sophisticated canoe from Outrigger Connection. With a more forward mounted cockpit , improved footwell drains, and new ama , Zephyr is at the cutting edge of OC1 design. At 21` 6" overall length , Zephyr is as long as the Fusion yet slightly narrower than the Fuze. Like all of the other canoes from Outrigger Connection , the Zephyr is equipped with "chines" . The chines help the canoes to achieve a more efficient water release near the top end of the canoes speed range without sacrificing speed at the lower end. The effect of the chines has the potential to give the paddler substancial time gains in downwind conditions. The Zephyr is a fairly big canoe and paddlers under 150 lbs. would have a better fit in a Fuze . Paddlers over 200 lbs . should consider the Fusion due to it`s added bouyancy.
