A Proa in a beautiful day...

- sometimes things just happen the way they do...
Built for speed, yet only fast enough...
Designed to carry a load for long distance cruising, yet can she handle 2 sailors, gear and supplies???
The bigger u go the harder it gets, Proas are hard, Shunting, docking, load capacity, accommodation...
As we head out, our tiny engine drives us fast, a heavy girl piercing the element...
As canvas goes aloft, silence becomes our best friend, she heads up and takes off, sailing awsy 60 to the wind, we sit back, she sails her self. We leave the reef to port and bear away, she comes to life, her telltales stream aft of her leech, she's in trim, moving swiftly on course, behind zero wake, ahead just a dream in the head....
Just go, sail her as she wants, she's a star, yet she still must learn how to glow...

There must be some sort of navigation app for your phone that can tell you your speed accurately. Also, a long selfie-stick would allow you to get more of the boat in the picture.
Anyway, it's great to see you sailing in such perfect conditions. What a smooth ride!
Yeah but I like sailing traditional boats in traditional ways...
It's Balkan Style...
Selfy stick? Yeah I need one of those, will get one, you're right, it's great sailing and she's a great boat, cruising soon....

It’s really great watching these updates and seeing you enjoying the fruits of your labor. The boat is wonderful. You have no idea the motivation and desire it ignites in me to get back to CR and finish Aywannalaya and cruise the Islas Murcielagos in el parque nacional de Santa Rosa. Great to see Jenia driving the boat. This video is producing a huge smile! 😊
Your comments produce smiles of joy John ❤ Thank U!
Yeah, I'm happy, was hoping for more speed, but that will probably come later with a bigger rig... For now let's go cruising, expect cruising vids next, I'm gonna give u ants in your pants my friend! You're Shunting soon!! I'm not stopping.....
Waiting for you, may the Force B with you

@@BalkanShipyards you could also try a "watersail" just hang something under the boom so wind cant go under the sail... a trick from gaff rig days
@@dominictarrsailing oh man! Dominic Tarr is on here too? All the most serious proa gurus sharing ideas. Great stuff! There’s too few of you guys in the world that are bringing proas into the 2020s. Admiration and respect brothers.
