G'day,
Rob is busy, but not as busy as Mark, who has a nearly finished Elementarry, Harry and Visionarry in the shed, as well as an order for the next Elementarry and John's wing rig to build. However, the first Eh mast was built yesterday, and looks good, so we are approaching the hire more staff, obtain bigger premises and get serious stage. Update on everything next week, all going well.
Must be the only boat in Florida to have avoided all three. ;-)
Lots of cool ideas, including an easy conversion from tube mast to wing mast, which we will be testing on the new boat. Will keep you informed.
regards,
Rob

wingsail for the elementary. Rob intends to finger point the fab,
so mostly I am out of the loop. Waiting on news like all others for
when things gel to a point worthy of reporting progress.
Can't build a new boat till I sell the old. Unfortunately it has been
run over by three hurricanes and survived. No insurance money
and no sale either. Boat market really on the dumps this
season.
I am sure Harryproa Inc will send out news when the current
visionarry in fab gets a sea trial.
Personally have not been impressed with anything new in the
rec boat industry over the past few years. Need a proa or two to
get some life into the marketplace. The proa chat group have a
lot to say but way too many folks lost on recreating or reappling
past cultural efforts in maritme crossings. Not much into
supersized sea kayaks, or bundled grass with a crab claw sail.
Rob has some cool ideas but need test/ demo to make any
really new conclusions.
Regards,
JT
