proa Good Enough - Launching and first sail! episode 2

my old proa, renamed "Good Enough" is now ready to launch, but I have a new year's party to go, why not both? luckily the party is near the water and some friends (new and old) helped me.
Music: Peaceful Planet by Golden Axe,

from their album Liquid Bacon

Thanks to everyone who helped: Joel, Siana, Cliff, Luke, Chris, Natalie and Lewis. Especially Joel for gaffing, Chris for drone camera, Cliff for camera, Lewis for herding cats and everyone else for lifting something!

Proa and golden axe ... we should be friends

1st sail turned out a dud because of lack of wind 2nd sail a success. Brilliant but I would advise to take a PFD just in case of a capsize. Good that you got the project completed.

[@peterbonham5540]

You obviously haven't seen his safety shoes, they match his PFDs

Loving this youtube influencer origin story in the making

[@dominictarrsailing]

you know it

[@zacharycawthorne-nugent4988]

That looks amazing! Love your mast/spar shunting geometry that you managed to work out! Could you maybe provide a closeup of your mast foot? It looks to be a low tech arrangement... I love it.

[@dominictarrsailing]

I'll get that in the next video. It's currently just a hole drilled through the bamboo, just below a node, rope goes through that and a knot, then lashed to beam on the other side. I didn't have time to carve a socket

[@zacharycawthorne-nugent4988]

@@dominictarrsailing that sounds very easy. I might just draw inspiration from you in my own project.

[@Sparkritiker]

love the tune. didn't know golden axe are artists too - only know an ancient game named golden axe. this looks like loads of fun. where i am it cold and snowy outside and the nearby lake froze over

[@richdecibels]

this looks very fun and definitely when it is my turn to build a boat I will start with a Proa

[@dominictarrsailing]

good plan! for the wood you got, you get maximum length, which means both speed and seaworthyness, ability to handle waves. enough room to carry camping gear. you can paddle if necessary. and it's not too hard to move on land either.

[@whiuwaata3468]

Dude that looks like Hokianga, thats my home patch. Hoping to sail my tane up round the top and ho e after this season on the east side. Chur keep it jammin

[@dominictarrsailing]

correct! apparently the second person to own my wharram was in kuhokohu. and originally built in dargaville!

[@gulfair-cavalry-tango1011]

❤ it!!!!

[@dominictarrsailing]

thanks!

[@John-gm5mf]

No offense mate but it's 100x more fun following your boat work than your tech work. Keep up the vlogs, please!

[@dominictarrsailing]

haha, it's also 100x more fun doing the boat stuff, so no offense taken at all

[@LinasVepstas]

Did I miss the part about the encryption?

[@jennyryan4930]

subscribe'd for sweet boat vids dawg! 😸

[@dominictarrsailing]

haha thanks jenny!

[@viniyung]

Nice work. It's a P5 proa design?

[@dominictarrsailing]

I don't know what "P5" is. I just made it up as I went along

[@viniyung]

@@dominictarrsailingCool. It's symetrical right? The P5 is a free plan made by Othmar Karschulin, but is asymmetrical. You can see it at www.duckworksmagazine.com/02/articles/p5/index.htm
