And now it’s not only on multihulls but also on monohulls! However, wing masts and hydrofoils on sailboats are not a new invention. In 1913 Alexander Graham Bell and Casey Baldwin built. A hydrofoil sailing model. In 1938, Robert Rowe Gilruth, the “father of America’s human space flight”, built. Project Cheers: 2016 Editi...

Palindrome: skin-on-frame proa for the R2AK. GALLERY Click images to enlarge. A few days after the start of the R2AK I was biking around Point Hudson Marina to see what I might see, and decided to duck into a grassy field behind the RV lot when I ran into a proa! I skidded to a stop and pointed at the boat, That’s a proa! I cleverly exclaimed. The young man who was doing something on the boat stopped what he was doing, smiled and affirmed Yes, it is!

Hocus Pocus trailerable proa. GALLERY Click images to enlarge. Rafael and Heidi Francke update us on their latest mega-trailerable multihull - this time a proa. Congratulations on a quick build and a successful first sail. -Editor. Here we go again. This time it is NOT a folding catamaran like Cat2Fold. There is a change in wind direction. It is a Pacific proa. The power-cat did not touch the right places in our hearts, and off it went. First time from the trailer to the water took us 1 hour and 30 minut...
