It is indeed! But no significant waves in the video. We have very steep and short chop on the Baltic. In these conditions she slams a bit and every once in a while splash from the front of the small hull is flying over the trampoline. Preferred place to sit is either inside or at the back corner of the tramp with the back leaning on the cabin side.
@@proasisproject Well no boat is perfect but for the low cost and simple build Proasis certainly seems pretty capable. I think there is real elegance to the design. How do think it compares to Wamcat ?
@@chrisclarke5040 the WAM cat has deep V canoe hulls. They pitch way more. On the other hand it is a whole lot easier to sail (no shunting) and less complicated to operate. In the Marshalls I've put a tiny girl on one and she could manage all on her own without actual sailing experience. It is way simpler and less expensive to build too. An experienced crew can make one in 2 weeks. That said much of the experience gained while designing, building and sailing Proasis went into the WAM cat.

Great to see, thanks for sharing! 🐬😎🇦🇺
Nice power for distance runs!
Thanks!
Интересная конструкция 🙂👍
great to see! looks very in control at that speed!
Far from loosing control, was just a fun ride!
Love seeing your videos. I’m building my second proa for coastal cruising/surfing Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama.
Good stuff, success! Any photos?
Looks just great - seems really comfortable at that speed.

nice 👍 was that on a beam reach?
Not really, something between beam and upwind
Chesapeake kit??
:D no the opposite! We developed the design based on and in collaboration with Marshallese designs. Check out proas.is
