I would recommend contacting Chief about this (head honcho for WaterTribe events). He posted the following a couple of months ago in their forums:
"I have just revamped the revamped rules to take into account all the excellent feedback obtained from the Tribe regarding the new wording of the reefing rule...
[reefing rules details omitted]
I also corrected some wording about class 6. We are no longer supporting electric motors in class 6. However, the 6-person outrigger canoes are still supported in class 6."
Just don't want you to spend all this time, money and effort and then get disallowed at the starting line!

Hopefully, I will be a quadruple threat, rowing, sail, electric and a parafoil sled kite. Just got to rig it up so that the electric will last the full 100 miles.
