Re: [harryproa] Proa movie

Very nice!!! congrats!!!
 
I had one question regarding the windward hull - it seemed to be floating higher than the leeward one in the last part of the video - but I also saw most of the people sitting close to or on the leeward hull - are there differences between rare bird and blindate?

G'day,

Apologies for cross posting. 
There is a video of Blind Date  (first 15m/50' harryproa launched) sailing in Holland at http://www.zeilenme tvisie.nl/ NL/onderZeilFlas h.html  
This is the boat built to take blind people sailing.  

There are some saliing pctures at http://mail. google.com/ mail/ including one of the instruments showing 8 knots in 8 knots apparent.

regards,

rob
