Safety release outrigger attachment for an outrigger canoe

摘要

Apparatus for releasably attaching an outrigger to a canoe so that the outrigger will release from the canoe rather than breaking the outrigger or the canoe. The inner ends of the outrigger yakus are attached to the canoe with a touch fastener material in shear so that the yakus are held firmly in place but will release under high shear forces on the touch fastener material.
