Perfect sailing simplicity! Beautiful!

Fine looking, good performing outrigger canoe, with a clever system to load it onto car roof. However, the term proa seems to be used very broadly by a lot of people. I tend to define a proa narrowly. As an single outrigger canoe, that has a hull that is symmetric fore & aft, and asymmetrical side to side. Leeward side fairly flat or straight, and windward (outrigger) side more curved. Sailed with the outrigger always to windward side, that tacks by shunting. Exchanging bow & stern. Which this canoe is not. But that being said, very nice looking outrigger canoe that looks like its a lot of fun to own and sail. I like it. Thanks for posting it, hope you're still enjoying it.

Yes the word proa means different things to different people. Probably need to mention the type of proa as the Melayu word for boat is perahu and the carib word for a dug out canoe is piraua that gives us the spanish word piragua and the French word pirogue. So clearly no one type of boat or people can claim the word proa as it's obviously derivative.

Ein wirklicher Geniestreich! Wunderschöne Arbeit und tolles Ergebnis. Ich fürchte lediglich, zwischen dem Laden und dem ersten und letzten Wasserkontakt vergeht ziemlich viel Zeit. Wer die hat, wird aber reichlich belohnt!!!!

Tolle Arbeit. Grüße aus sonnigem Wien, Scott

wunderschönes boot und sehr gut aufgeriggt. ...mit diesem segel kann man vernünftig kreuzen.

[@Kurganic99]

I love your boat, lots of great ideas and execution. Will you be offering plans or more information?

[@rakim126]

sick one. No Trailer Gang!!! rooftopper for life.

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

Wow. This is a wonderful to look at and unique sailboat that also motors well with an inspirational car loading system that sails wonderfully with one person and half the commenters are clucking about the definition of a word in the title. Pearls before swine. I subscribed!

[@SuperHyee]

FANTASTIC !

[@pakde8002]

Very clever loading system. Thanks for the video. New subscriber.

very nice work and great imagination . Snotty reply Pinky, where is your perfect boat

[@dnomyarnostaw]

Just Google Proas for yourself. The best designs are HarryProas.

[@pelageos]

Super! 🤩

[@Clovis321]

Hobie cat? Trimarã or a proa? same size. Excuse me, but i still didn't don't see any advantage in a proa.

[@guilhermedilascio9289]

This is not a proa. It's a outrriged sail canoe.

[@oregonsurffishinghi-way1016]

very impressive and very good job on the boat sailing and packing the boat...are you going to sale the boat??? or will you make if someone want to but like your boat??

[@laquardamak2314]

Wow!

[@wadetarzia]

Nice!

[@hardystein114]

Not a proa technically , Pinky because it does noy shunt. But so what ? It`s still a really nice boat regardless. Great job , nice !

[@abidjan63]

Yes ! It's a proa, but a monodrome (=an unique direction of sailing) proa, not an amphidrome (=tthe possibility of either directions of sailing) one. I agree : what a nice boat.

[@Anomalous-Plant]

So you don't do shunting? Is there any advantages in shunting? Does this fare just as well ? I don't know much, it would be great to see a reply!

[@carlericvonkleistiii2188]

Because this is not a true proa. It is a very pretty outrigger sailboat, but not capable of shunting.

[@xFD2x]

Once you start thinking about such a boat, or larger, with cabin and engine, then an outrigger has its advantages over a true proa.

[@newageofsail3877]

Ignore the snotty comments from the armchair admirals; YOU built a boat and sailed it!

[@longpinkytoes]

this is not a proa. this is a gaff-rigged rowing outrigger, with none of the refinements that make a boat a proa.

[@newageofsail3877]

How many boats have you built and sailed?

[@kenshaw4337]

Ya it sure cant shunt

[@kenshaw4337]

Its a sailing canoe
