How a proa Sailboat works!
Back under a different name. Not going to upload on a schedule.
might not ever make new videos.
Who knows.
Still proud of this one and also can't find anything that explains the proa from top to bottom in an way that people who don't sail can even understand it.
Think this one does the trick.
At least now I can just send people a link when I'm to lazy to do the explaining.

    I was hoping you would continue posting your progress since I was inspired by your initial video. I have been obsessing about building my own catamaran

      youtube isn't worth it/my thing anymore. Live your life without an audience. kinda tuned down allot of my social media. Don't feel the need to narrate my life or things I do I might make a video of lessons learned while welding aluminum etc. Some info that actually adds to the conversations and not just repeats. I kept this video because i couldn't find anything close or similar. One day I'll do a videotour of the completed boat getting to the point of insulating now... exciting

    People think proas will be cheaper and faster than any other sailbout. The reality is that reversing the sails and rudder system requires complexity These systems never work as good as a conventional rig and negates the proas advantages. A catamaran can be built for the same cost..and is much easier to sail.

      sometimes its much more than just convenience. A Proa uses less material and sails more smoothly. In the end the captain of a boat needs to love his vessel and if that means a strange design then so be it. The floating neutrinos crossed the atlantic with a godawful barge-esque monstrosity and are way more inspiring than a slick factory build/ordered catamaran.

    I own a set of Harris "Madness" plans. They are amazing- one of the best plans I've ever owned and I've owned a lot. I decided to go with a drier design, based on a larger Bernd Kohler P95 asymmetric Catamaran which needs no boards and is very very fast! My new design is a 26ft Cat that uses anti-vortex panels rather than boards to maintain a very low draft. . i would have built the madness but felt it just wasn't a great boat for world cruising and not as dry as many other designs. Even tho, my current design can cross oceans its still small, and limited on its carrying capacity. The madness Proa is definitely a technical build. but one of the most beautiful and well designed boats i have ever seen. i hope you upload any progress vids. it will keep me inspired. Also pls check out Bernd's P95, you will be very impressed, and seems it might even be less to build than the proa in costs. since it does not need loads of epoxy. bleachable, easy to build, and FAST and very dry in all conditions. rivalling the proa maybe faster. thanks! subbed.

    ik ben momenteel mijn opzoekwerk aan het doen om een soort gelijk iets te maken. maar de ama hoeft niet steeds aan de loef zijde te zijn. ik heb insipratie genomen van de raptor 16 en de slatts 22. deze zeilboten maken gebruik van een hydrofoil onder de ama. als de ama aan de loefzijde is dan kan je de hydrofoil zo kantelen dat hij een neerwaartse druk creëert. als de ama aan lij zijde is dan je hem zo kantenlen dat hij lift creëert.

    • @pointnemo1004

      cool idee maar het probleem is design van de akas. Ama die uit de golven gehoffen worden is qua krachten in de akas echt te doen. je lift de ama als materiaal en cargo en de mast neemt als een hangbrug ook heel wat kracht over. (waardoor er iets meer compressie is in de mast maar dat is te compenseren met een iets stevigere mast indien nodig) Een ama die in de golven wordt geduwd legt de gehele volume aan drijfkracht op de akas. VEEL meer dan enkel het materiaal van de boot en de cargo. en dan moeten de akas alles zelf dragen en is er geen mastverstaging die de kracht verdeelt.

    definitely please make more videos! I myself have recently completed a large boat building project, and making videos often ment that viewers gave helpful suggestions, and also encouragement! motivation one of your most precious resources when building a boat! loved "kitchen and a bed" me too. I am living in a wharram pahi 31, but I only really use one hull! It could have been a proa!

      cool to hear. I get more positive feedback from volunteers nowadays. Comments where always mixed. Mental health asked for stability in my life and negative input from strangers is something i could mix. and the positive people will find other joys in there lives besides my videos. In some ways not making videos makes it all more mysterious to one day maybe see a completion video...?
