    Keep inspiring us here in Philippines, I used to like Dinghy's sailboat but Proa has a different charisma to me..

      Yep, sobrang kakaiba ang charisma ng proa its like two-outrigger paraw sailboat or vinta sailboat sa pinas.

    love the way you worked it out; very inspirational....I want a proa....so difficult with so much choice out three...but it really can´t be denied you get the maximum for using the minimalism of that design. As far as the weather... being English... no sympathy at all; wet and cold is what it is! Thanks again.

    What an interesting design and your boat sails easily in very light winds. Yes, a better tent would be more comfortable in that rain you had.

    Great stuff. I’d love to add an outrigger like this to my sailing kayak, then try a similarly bigger sail.
    Can you tell me what timber to used for the outrigger and how the buoyant section of it (maybe also a keel?) is constructed?

      Hello, you can use any waterproof plywood, and then assemble it in "stitch and glue" technology.
      Easiest would be with V hull cross-section as with wharram catamarans.

    Nice proa! your camping set up may need improvement but the boat performs very well. Do you typically steer with weight shift or also with a steering oar?

      Hallo, the higher I sail to the wind the more I tilt the rig to leeward and before the wind I tilt it to windward.
      As described in my video "Increase of speed against the wind by 100%"
      On the respective course I then only steer with weight shift.

    Hi, is the main hull V shaped or does it has a flat bottom ?

    • @fjordproa6510
      @fjordproa6510  Před rokem +2

      Hello, the hulls are V shaped main hull central frame 60cm wide 1 to 2 asymmetrical and 80cm high, 6 meters long, 35cm draft. Ama 30cm wide 40cm high 3 meters symmetrical.

      @@fjordproa6510 are you happy with it ? Dominic Tarr says that he would rather have a flat bottom

      Yes for me, the V frame works well. I wanted to orientate on the traditional boats. But I also know a flat-bottomed proa that works well. Look at youtube "Proasis Project"
