OC1 -the most popular and successful in Europe designed by Allwave.

The Oracle comes from a development of four prototypes. The final design was determined after testing the canoe in many sea conditions. It is a highly competitive canoe with successful trials in not only flat and mild conditions, but in rough Hawaiian waters also, as it was proven during the Molokai Solo in 2005. The Oracle is a high volume canoe made for paddlers over 180 pounds. In the surf it does not dive and push water, and it planes on top the water in flat conditions. It is made from either polyester fiberglass or carbon epoxy, it is relatively lightweight, is very stiff and durable. It has spectra cables verses stainless steel cables so that corrosion is not an issue. Made with aluminum iakos that have 3 height adjustment settings on the ama, and the same on the hull, the Oracle can be rigged to suit your size and skill. The iakos arch to a position that keeps them out of the rough water, but allows a rigid geometry with considerable virtues essential for a high level OC-1.
