  • nice shunt!

  • mean look at it sending it!!! love when the nose goes down and you can see the power come on as the old guy sheets in the main and it lifts wicked vid

  • 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)

  • Thats my uncle baby!
