Very nice, That stand up and steer position looks fun, would like to try and use it on my design.

I'd love to know the name of the song being played, as it fits so well with the sailing.......

Ok I finished the job but the canoe virus is still in my body. Great music, too! Who is it?
All the best from Berlin

hi gary: you build a real beauty! i stumbled over the proa canoes while i was working for an advertising agency. I had to design a brochure and the theme was sailing. while i waqs researching i found traditional seacards, the one made out of branches and i thought wow! whose the artist? than i found out who it was and got into the canoe thing. From this moment on I didnt work anymore. I was just reading your website and watching canoe vids on youtube.

Amazing looking proa!
I am planning to build myself a proa, as for me they are the pinnacle in simple sailboats. I was wondering whether in your opinion it would be possible to increase the distance between the supports for the outrigger, so on low wind days I could also use it as a conventional canoe? such as the Ulua design on your website, also would it be possible to ommit the keel, or would it still be needed , if so how long would you suggest?

Very nice boat. Are the sails flat cut or are they curved at the spars ?

They are cut flat but there is substantial curvature at the luff and foot to compensate for the bendy bamboo spars.

It would need some modifications to be a voyaging canoe. I would want rudders and a shelter on the windward deck.
A lee pod or safety ama would allow singlehanding.

Yes, the hull is asymmetric. It's about twice as wide on the ama side as the leeward side, but the keel is straight.
