These photographs of Bruce were taken at Nanaimo's Brechin Marina (near the Departure Bay BC Ferry terminal) in the summer of 2006. Bruce was kind enough to give my dad and me a free demo of his kayak rigged with the OAR (One Armed Rig) - an adaptive tool/device that helps a person paddle a kayak with one arm - as well as pontoons (outriggers) for increased boat stability. For more information about the OAR and/or the pontoons (outriggers), please contact Bruce Fuoco, by e-mail at bruce.fuoco@shaw.ca or by telephone at (250) 751-1824 or by mobile phone at (604) 328-1824.
Outriggers are used all over the world to increase the stability (prevent capsizing - except in the event of extreme force winds) of boats.
