Pjoa passing Baltic brake

[oj1jo]

those are my own plans, there is new version under development. Are you going to build one?

[G009131337]

what plans did u use, your proa looks good

[mrhulot101]

launching into surf is not easy for anybody, you guys did good!

[macrumpton]

It's always a good day of sailing when at the end everyone still has all their fingers and toes and nobody died.

[oj1jo]

Pjoa to nazwa wlasna mojego proa :)

Kiedys nie wymawialem poprawnie "r", no i "jo" to moje inicjaly :))

[josepfus1]

chciałbym zwrócic uwage:

chyba powinno być proa ,a może klawisz z r nie wyskakuje?,

Zartuje,

[aihlo]

How do you tack?

[oj1jo]

Proa neither tack r gybe.

Proa change tacks by shunting.

Bowe and starn exchange funtion. Otrigger stays on windward side.

Crabclaws leading edge(yard) travels from previous bow to previoous stern.

Old stern becomes new bow.

You sheet in and go.

Was the weather a little bit stormy that day? It looks quite dangerous to swim in Baltic sea.

[oj1jo]

first sequence is from day before (force6B0 when we resigned, then comes next day with force 5B which was acceptable :)This year we've been sailing many hours at force 4-5B but off-wind, but thats the limit for Pjoa

[xxxl222]

Is it so hard to sail at 6-B, what about 10-B is it possible in the Baltic sea? Have you every experienced anything like this?

[banderzwierz]

this proa has been designed to sail up to force 5B. It is the sea, and not wind which makes sailing hard. One can sail at force 6B with e.g. smaler sail. Higher seas and steepy waves slows you down (upwind) or accelerates too much (downwind). I never was at see 10B, 8B is enough

IS IT IN USTKA?

[oj1jo]

It is Ustka in the middle of Polish coast, start from the beach and enry to the harbour
