I have zero carpentry skills or shipbuilding experience and have never sailed a boat (was supposed to be on a junior crew of a ship for learning experiences two years ago when I was 17 but cancelled that due to personal health), but it has always been a lifelong dream of mine to finally be skilled and financially stable enough to one day build one of the Harryproa designs to live aboard. Like the cruiser 60 or the orbiter 80, even the visionarry cruiser 50 would be enough for me. I love proa boats so much.
Thanks. Not likely at the moment as all my energy is going into green shipping for remote villages, starting with a prototype to be built as soon as the lockdown ends. harryproa.com/?p=2561
highly recommend looking at Robs site such fascinating designs and excellent boats. Wish I had cash to slap on the table to get a boat by this company.
tbf I sailed mirrors and 420's when I was younger and we regularly chucked 400 bucks into the ocean when we were sailing. Spinaker pole snap 500 bucks rip a sail 200 to 1000. break a mast 1500. Snap a centreboard 800 and on and on. I would think getting a fast boat for 400 a day would be reasonable, and the cost could be split between 2.
$5K? You do understand this is a 40' boat? Please provide your list of materials and price of materials for just the 60' tapered carbon mast. I assume you already have both appropriately sized mandrels and building it yourself? If not, please provide venders name and price, if you are just going to purchase. I look forward to your detailed response. Rob Denney, your designs are totally awesome!!!

You can start wit a small camping boat . they are a very efficient introduction to the matter.
14 ft is already enough.
We’ll be building one in the US. looking for partners.
Still interested?
@@multihullminion9201 Where are you and how far along are you !?!
Very clever idea. I hope it gets built.

Papier and is this case computer screen displays anything.
low cost boat, but 400 euro per day charter seaway robbery
What would you consider to be a reasonable daily rate?
