iako design

I recently bought Gary Dierking's excellent book, Building Outrigger Sailing Canoes.
In it, he has three of his designs and general construction methods for this type of boat.  I wish I had found  the book earlier.  It made me revisit the design of the iakos for our boat.
They weren't graceful enough and the attachment points were too ridged.
So yesterday and today I re-cut and laminated a better design.  It now has a nice curve and the attachments will be more traditional with the use of line.
The outriggers pylons pass up through the iako and are secured with line.  The canoe end will also be fastened with line.
Here are pre and post varnish photos of the end of the iakos were they attach to the outrigger.
