I am sorry my current issues list for my visionarry is over 30 items long, this won't be one of them. I'll let an expert deal with drive control. A solomon...
Thinking about modern efficiencies - they usually come from being built in numbers in the same place i.e. factory. What about kit boats that are a little more...
It's a volume thing. Rob has said he would probably come up with a mold if the design was fixed enough, and the demand was high enough. The real time blowing...

G'day Rob, I think the racing version would be the best option for this sized proa. The question is who would I race against? I currently own a seawind 24 cat...
