Keep reading: "It is sailed so that one hull is kept to windward, and the other to leeward, so that it needs to reverse direction when tacking." - calling this boat a proa only creates confusion.
In our opinion it is a proa. See here (from Wikipedia) "A proa or prau is a type of multihull sailing vessel. While the word proa just means boat in its native language, the term proa in Western languages has come to describe a vessel consisting of two (usually) unequal length parallel hulls. ..."
congratulations.

@JaiGopal
you're right. But that is why we call it a "tacking proa" not a "shunting proa".

Dude, I'm sorry - it's _NOT_ a proa! Get over it. Call it what it is, a tacking single outrigger sailing canoe. Cheers! (inside proa joke)
