thanks Rob,

I tried to view the site in source view, pure html, so I can look for the file but couldn't find it.

Does this owner in Sydney visit this forum? It would be nice to know what he thinks of the boat, how he uses it, etc.

>From what I can see of that photo I'm asking about it might be my favorite in your whole site! ..... very inspirational indeed.

I'd be interested in knowing more about the different sails ....
as you know, but others may not, I have plans to enter the EC and UFC watertribe events with some kind of proa and built a small model with some of the features that I wanted.

One feature is the fold down/ pivot masts. Originally I had them on the outside but after your suggestion of doing it inside the hulls I've given it a lot of thought and might have worked out how to do that and have my folding beam feature at the same time and keep the total folded beam narrow enough for the road portages and narrow river sections.
I don't have that modeled or have a video of these new ideas yet .....

but I do have videos leading up to this showing my thoughts and ideas:

Last thought, I am thinking to do the ufc solo again and not having a crew member but still want to be able to carry a crew member for fun sailing at all other times, such as in the Texas 200.
