OC 1 Museum - Walter Guild - Horizon
Horizon
Walter Guild, the first conversion of a lagoon Tahitan outrigger canoe.
Owner: Eric
Length: 25 feet.
That is a picture of the Horizon outrigger canoe with the older ama. A newer ama was later made for it. The only thing missing is the optional splash shield that extended over the pedals and partially covered the single footwell. The hull was round and would not remain upright with ama removed. Early models came without internal stringer. Later models, made by Brent Bixler for Walter’s Fiberglass Shop, came with a unique all fiberglass stringer or “strongback” designed by Brent.
