I didn't expect it either, and I can't explain it. I have the hint from reto. Check his youtubechannel "segelreto". And it is a very good side effect that it is much easier to turn the proa up with inclined rig after a capsize.
It totaly makes sense. I was wondering why you made that telescopic pole in your A-frame (in a later video). Pitty you did not demonstrate the downwind sailing with the sail to windward. But I guess it is working anyway.
Have you ever tried adding a roller furling jib to the windward strut? It would have to be shaped differently than normal but it might add more downwind balance as well as more driving power upwind.
No, first I would like to learn to sail with the most original construction. To find out how it works. And then try out modern improvements. The first thing I want to do this year is to put a traveler rail under the sail to make shunting easier.

The rigg is my design according to ideas from the internet and books. The hulls are designed according to the proa of Klaus Peppermann, which I presented in my last video, The design is not finished yet I will change a lot this year again.

Well done! thanx for sharing, and keep shunting, Balkan Shipyards
Also, I think this is the way the proa Equilibre steered without using a rudder at all. Very interesting! Great video!
This is very helpful information. I'll be sure to watch this video again before taking Jojo out again.
Very interesting the difference in performance upwind with the rig canting to leeward! Was not expecting this much difference.

Great presentation ‐ well done, sail safe! With kind regards Pawel Zarzycki

Look for parts 2 and 3 also. He built a series of shunting proas and was in favour of a rig tilted to leeward.
Sehr gut, Lars!
Aber eine Shuntschiene! Muß denn das sein ?
Servus, Reto

Is this your own design, or someone elses?

Denmark. I never heard of no Denmark. Is that near Wisconsin? Pfft.🤡
