    Gary

    can you explain the role of the two daggerboards in steering? looks like the front one is raised or partially raised - I am assuming that lowering and lifting the back one will steer the proa. the question that I have is which way it goes - i.e. if you dip the board does the proa goes to windward or leeward? also when going downwind how does he steer with this setup? thanks (Carlos)

    I had a copy of the plan for a Harmen Hielkema ama from my buddy Russell, now lost from too many moves. How do I get another???
