Which outrigger canoe is faster? The Puakea Designs Kahe Kai vs. the Ehukai

We decided to conduct flatwater testing to see if how much speed the Kahe Kai gives up to the slightly more sleek Ehukai OC1. We conducted multiple runs, using heart rate as a control, to see if one canoe design has a significant speed advantage over the other. Keep in mind that it's very difficult to control all the variables in a test like this, especially when you're dealing with wind, tide, boats, etc, We tried to account for these variables in our protocol, and we feel pretty good about the results. Your mileage may vary depending on your paddling style, your height, weight, conditions, what you had for breakfast, but you might be surprised by what we found.
