Outrigger Canoe v1.3 (TL 0 to 5) Copyright 1996 by Tracy Ratcliff (tratclif@bright.net) This is a single outrigger design. Strictly following the rules would change performance with Tech Level, but small craft were mostly identical from TL0 to TL5; the performance figures are based on TL3. The canoe uses Vehicles 1st. edition (March 96 errata) with the following outrigger rule: A watercraft may have up to two outriggers. Each outrigger costs 10% of body cost, 10% of body mass, and 1% of body volume. Each outrigger has HT equal to Body HT/2. Each outrigger reduces the Water Speed Factor by one, but increases the SR by one. The outrigger has DR equal to half the vehicle's body DR, minimum of 2. If the outrigger is destroyed, the vehicle at least loses the SR increase; if the GM rules that fragments of the outrigger are still attached, reduce SR by 2, halve MR and Water Speed Factor. Structure: 155 cf light cheap body (wooden), maximum load 3,875 lbs. (body HT 175), flotation hull with fine hydrodynamics (flotation 3,875 lbs), one outrigger. Propulsion: One mast (10 feet, DR 2, HT 50) with a 50 sf sail, 3 KW with 20 mph wind. Accomodation: 6 light open normal seats. Crew requirements: 1 minimum. Accessories: None. You might consider an anchor ($100, 50lbs, 2cf). Armor: 20 points cheap flammable armor (wood). F3/4F, B3/4F, L3/4F, R3/4F, T0/0, U3/4F. Cargo: 35.2 cf at full occupancy (110.2 cf with only one person). Statistics: Cost $2,343 ($156 at TL4-), design mass 2,273 lbs., maximum payload 1,602 lbs., max. cargo load 880 lbs. (1,602 lbs. with one person), current payload 1,602 lbs., loaded mass 3,875 lbs. (1.9 tons). Size modifier +3, radar signature +4, IR signature +3, acoustic signature 0. Water performance: Water Speed Factor 7 mph, Top Speed 7 mph, Acceleration .5 mph/s, Deceleration 10 mph/s, MR .5, SR 2, draft 2.5 feet.
