Boat experts?

• It was brought up on the talk page of Not in Portland that this has boat has a sail... is there a more proper name for the type of boat, and does it qualify as a canoe with a sail? --PandoraX 07:38, 8 February 2007 (PST)

• It's an "outrigger sailing canoe", as seen here. I think it's best to leave it named canoe and then describe the type of canoe in the article. Wikipedia has some details on the outrigger --   Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 08:04, 8 February 2007 (PST)

• Ah, sweet, thanks Jabr. Please add info on as trivia as you see fit. --PandoraX 08:05, 8 February 2007 (PST)

Rename

I didn't nominate this, but I'm going with a speedy rename on account of the name Alex gave to it. However, should it be The Outrigger, The outrigger, or just plain Outrigger? --Nickb123 (Talk) 05:49, 17 May 2007 (PDT)

• I personally wasn't clear on whether "outrigger" was the name of the canoe or an adjective describing the canoe. If the canoe is named "The Outrigger", then that is what the article should be called, however if it is an adjective describing the canoe, there should be no re-name.

• The boat expert said it was an out rigger, i rekon it should be Outrigger Sailing Canoe/Outrigger--KevGGrif 16:56, 17 May 2007 (PDT)
• Keep It is certainly a canoe so the name is not inaccurate. An outrigger is just a variant of a canoe, but is still ultimately a canoe. Keep it simple.--TechNic|talk|conts 19:32, 17 May 2007 (PDT)
• Rename "Outrigger Canoe" is the correct name for that type of boat, and even if Alex hadn't mentioned it a few times already we should've renamed it.--Sauron18 19:43, 17 May 2007 (PDT)

The fact is its the name she gives it so its the name it should be unless she stated it as a canoe in Not In Portland? --Nickb123 (Talk) 17:03, 18 May 2007 (PDT)

What did Alex call it? -- Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  04:24, 19 May 2007 (PDT)

She says to Karl, "if you take the outrigger you'll get there a few hours before them" --Nickb123 (Talk) 11:30, 20 May 2007 (PDT)
