I for one applaud Stone Owl's decision to proceed alone on his own
path.  I think the Harryproa forum will be well served to better focus
on Harryproas and Rob Denney's proa vision.

I don't buy the doom and gloom predictions of Stone Owl's design and
build decisions.  I just do not see an apocalyptic difference on
outcomes regardless of build methods and material choices.  Like
everyone who makes the huge transition from forum poster to boat builder
I wish him the best.
