Proasis was the prototype for a transport and fishing vessel for the marshall islands. Because of that we have no plans available but there will be a detailed step by step construction manual published soon. Much better than a plan.
@@proasisproject Thanks it looks like a real chill ride. Im really thinking of building something one day. Ive been interested in proas and wharrum cats. Watching from NZ.
We just like the traditional way. For us it works perfectly fine, very easy, reliable and fail safe. It's also a special sensation you won't find on many boats. I guess it's a mixture of a keep it simple attitude and preferences for the traditional setup. Kind of like people with old gaff rigged boats or some tall ships. Interestingly, a shunting system wouldn't make the boat "better" in any way. Just more complex. Western people seem to think that a shunting system is a must have on a proa but it really isnt. We learned proa sailing from the locals on the marshall islands. Those guys don't even use front and back stays on the small canoes. Check out our dedicated video about that topic on the Proasis channel!
@@proasisproject I like your project, but is definitely a "western" one. It is full of innovation not present in traditional proas, so question was legitimate. It could be better just share info and not lessons, avoiding making bold assumptions like the creator of Harryproa did, ruining his reputation.
@@jackkorovev5217yeah we certainly adapted the concept in some ways to suit the different conditions we have on the baltic. Quite different from the lagoons of Micronesia. And after all it's a prototype with some experimental stuff we tried for the finished design for the marshall islands. Quite often the experiments failed and we eventually ended up using the traditional solution. The rigging for example is almost 100% traditional. We try to show proasis sailing in different conditions as much as possible so people can make up their own minds. Also the call is open for everyone to join sailing. We always wanted a canoe that we enjoy sailing, especially singlehanded. Proasis is by no means perfect but we enjoy the adventure a lot! Can't wait for spring to get back on the water.
@@proasisproject I think your project could be a game changer. It is VERY interesting. Please keep pushing, experimenting, having fun and trying to build good quality information about this. Stay humble, tho! With westerners and, most important, with islanders!
Wow what a great video! Thank you so much for filming and editing. That was a nice sailing adventure 😊
Love your boat! wish there were plans availuable.
Hello, is not my boat.
But take a look at www.proas.is

Nice can we have a look how you sleep inside.
Perhaps.
But that's not my boat.
I just sailed along.
You have to ask Henrik from www.proas.is.
Sure, will prepare a room tour video once we get back on the water!

Why not a close circuit to faster shunting? There is a particular reason to move manually the sail?
