I love this. I wish there were more being built for racing/cruising, as they seem like they would be pretty interesting for long distance racing, where making quick tacks isn't necessarily as much of an advantage as in the match races you see in regattas.
Aloha Daniel We're not interested in that, because there are already plenty of expensive racing boats funded by the big banks and corps. You see them capsizing and breaking on the news videos all the time, because they are designed with really miniscule safety factors to keep them light. No juice there for us! We're building our working proas for under-served and poor island and coastal communities, so they have some transportation, and the ability to bring their fish and produce to market. We're not going to make the kind of money we would building racing boats, but this is our mission. We want to make the world a better place with our boats, not just catch some meaningless headlines. Having said all that, I think you could seriously win some races with a properly-designed and implemented foiling proa, without making it so light it would break if you looked at it wrong.

That is a lovely video. Good job. Russ'es work, specially JZerro, inspired me so much. ... I wish I had such design and boat construction skills. Such advanced workmanship. I didn't achieve anything comparable. But I tried.
You should have seen my first boat; what a mess! Keep building, keep sailing, that's all there is to it. If you don't try, you'll never know, and that's the important thing, NOT the fancy craftsmanship.
Check out this page on our site: newageofsail.com/fishing-techniques/, explains it pretty thoroughly (but not so thoroughly that we have to kill you! LOL!! :)

@@andrewpark651 50 years ago I spoke basic Russian when I left high school, but haven't had a chance to practice. I cheated and used a translator. I've sailed on traditional proas, and know how difficult it is to take the mast from one end of the boat to the other when you shunt, and also what a mess it makes when you drop it in the water. So one of the goals we had was to make this boat easy for beginners to sail; that's why the Bermuda sail rig.
He sailed against two 60 foot boats and came in third! Oh WoW! So three boats in the race and he came in third? Hell if he was paddling a "Tea Chest" as long as he passed the finish line he'd still come in third! What a pity the art of proof reading is dead because comments like that have ruined a good article that is showing promise!
If you actually listen, he was only two hours behind after 600 miles. That is remarkable for a boat half the size. Try sailing a 600 mile race on against some Seacart 30's on a Weta and see how far behind you are afterwards.
Coconut shunts; you just didn't watch the videos here (newageofsail.com/coconut-is-sailing-now/) of our 24-foot proa Coconut sailing. And please explain how you are the chosen person who gets to define what a "true proa" is? Are you a traditional navigator from Puluwat or Satawal? A traditional builder of dugout Pacific Proas? Why be so negative? Have YOU built or sailed a "true proa"? If you haven't, then you have no altitude to criticize others.
@@pstrap1311 The ama is always carried to windward. It's a little bit like a boat with only one "pointy end", where the bow is usually into the wind. This accomplishes a couple of things: One, it allows you to sail up to a dock, put the "brakes" on by sheeting the mainsail in the other direction until the boat comes to a stop, then when your passengers step on, sheet the main in the other direction and you move away from the dock, in "reverse gear". Two, when you let the sheets loose in a seaway, the boat naturally assumes an attitude with the ama on the windward side, and the main hull on the leeward side, slowing down drift. This is excellent for some of the tropical types of fishing we do.

Love PROA's .. Love the Jzerro. Subbed. can't wait to see your progress.
What kind of commercial fishing is going to happen on this boat? I am interested to learn more about this.

Проа с Бермудскими Парусами.....ВЫ ИЗДЕВАЕТЕСЬ????
Да, товарищ, проа с высокоэффективными парусами, которые могут быть маневрированы одним человеком за 10 секунд, не сбрасывая стрелу за борт.

I am designing an all-terrain catamaran, for safe entry into any lagoon through the reefs.... I collect information on sails.

No crab claw/lateen type sail and no shunting no true proa!

So it shunts and doesn't tack? The ama stays to windward?
