We had quite a discusion of this kind of thing back about a year, on the Multihull boatbuilding group, you could search for that discusion. Our premise was it...
That idea could have merit only downside I could see is when it blows hard and you have to be out in the weather to provide the righting moment. But only if...
I have a jarcat 5 and I appreciate he ease of rigging and having everything working, includung the kitchen sink. My only problem is that it is a bit bouncey in...
-Thanks tony, The trampoline would still be prety large but you are quite right about getting a bit wet if you want to keep pushing it in a blow though it...
Hi Jim, The plans of all models will include everything needed to build the 'corpus' as you mention and most of the details such as bunks, cupboards, lockers, ...
... Hi Jim, As the beams are curved the clearance varies from 780mm at the ww end, 820mm at the lw end with a maximum clearance of 860mm. The bridgedeck and...
My calculations, for when the boat is really powering and the ww hull is on the verge of lifting, still gives about 500mm clearance on the lw end and increases...
G'day, Effective immediately, my new email address is proa@... Anyone who has not received a reply to a message sent in the last 3 weeks should resend...
Hi Rob, Can you send the email address again please as only this bit (proa@i...)came through. Are you sailing any of your Proas in Perth at the moment? Cheers ...
G'day, proa@... I think I have sold my boat, which is a blessing as it is costing $100 per week to keep it on the marina, and I never seem to get time...
BOTHER!! I thought I was replying direct to Brad. So much for our carefully planned announcement. My apologies to all concerned. There will be a full...
Well done Rob The wonders of technology are always open to human error. But its nice to know what is going on. You have been remarkably quiet of late. We all...
So Rob, With the schooner rig, will that make it like the Jarcat 7? ;-) ... per ... sailing. ... will ... headroom. ... If you need another builder, we (Jodie...
G'day, Report, drawings and renderings on the web page next week, all going well. The schooner was chosen for the following reasons: 1) It should be possible...
Hello Everyone, Well, this was a long time coming - I hope you all find something of interest in the latest updates at www.harryproa.com ; a.. Elementarry and...
Hi Rob Good on ya. I'm still waiting for the camping Elementarry (if that is still its name) and will look forward to any more progress reports. Or for a...
Thanks Michelle, Love the latest version of the Harry and hope to see the Visionarry in the flesh in June when I am up that way. Are the little one's available...
G'day, We can certainly supply all the materials, and any parts which may be difficult (mast, beam structural members). Very roughly, the cost would be, in...

Rob, You mentioned on the proa file that the rudders when in reverse sculled well. I could imagine with both sets of rudders facing backwards and the the rear...
G'day, Sculled well is an exageration. They scull. Never tried them in tandem as I am usually solo. Far better performance was got sitting on the beam and ...
Your comments here and in previous posts appear to be very critical. Which is a good thing when those interested in/designing/building proas start dreaming a...
I happen to be born a Kiwi clown myself, I can't see a great deal of difficulty in making those pedal props with the twisted chain, but I don't think I'd get...
... Me too. ... Bit prone to damage, as well, I think. A yuloh really appeals, I used to scull my 1.5 tonne 9m cat, but only in zero breeze. Also built a...
... pretty ... You could put wings to ww with enough counterbalance to fly the lw hull, minimising wetted area in light breezes. Still don't think it would...
