Looking lekker Adrian! Bamboo is amazing stuff, I'm very interested to see how this experiment will unfold. Also thanks for the Bamboo introduction, please keep telling us what you know... great editing, good luck! Keep shunting BSY....
Wow that's beautiful. I wouldn't care if floats or not. Some people like building out of original or natural materials. Others build traditional craft from carbon fiber. Bamboo is sort carbon fiber in a sense.
Well done video. I had just dug up my copy of Dierking's book and was contemplating the possibilities of a stitch and glue hull when I decided to search videos. Best of luck with your bamboo version. It's beautiful. How heavy is it at this stage? Are you planning to use bamboo yards for a crab claw rig?
Thanks Frank, locally we have a bamboo importer and wholesaler Brightfields here is a link to the product www.brightfields.co.za/bamboo-board-cladding also see my reply to Tom H, hopefully you should be able to find a local supplier where you are?
Yes I used just the one layer of bamboo with fiberglass on both sides. but it is very flexible. I have bulkheads at 30cm intervals that are filled with PU foam and that provides the additional support required. To build a larger craft it likely require more layers of bamboo and fiberglass.
In documentary "The Last Sailing Canoe of Mokil" in 15:01 you can see there is a two massive beams. You don't have them :( btw Nice build what is the finally ? I want to build bambo for my self.
Thanks James, my inspiration to build a proa was partly influenced by your trip to Rapa Nui :) I'm a complete novice at this, a good person to ask is Rael Dobkins, he has built several and is currently on his 4th build I think. He has a really kool channel and have leaned a lot from him. ruclips.net/channel/UCd9ghqB2aRAO6aL9ZAOHKMA
I just watched a video of a Harryproa ruclips.net/video/wftyqI2aJlo/видео.html Wow that thing is a beast :) Amazing shunting solution for the gig. Very Kool.
I have seen a few vids on YT about engineered bamboo, it is amazing stuff. Very interesting project Adrian. Looking forward to seeing how it goes; the hull looks like a knife, that will slice through the water very nicely.
Boa noite tudo bem? O senhor está em que país ou local ? Eu estou estudando o bamboo como um material e na sua viabilidade na construção uma embarcação de 44 pés e pelo que vi o senhor conhece mais deste material do que eu então poderíamos trocar informações?
Very well done! I have a very strange question...the processed bamboo...how the hell do they get it so thick and straight and would you be able to duplicate it?
Hey! hope you guys are enjoying your trip and thanks for the goodies, your cap features in the next vid :) Good question, its hard to explain but in a later video I will show you how, but basically they split flatten and plane the strips.
Great video,keep it up!⛵↗️
Totally enjoyed your video and really really loved the music with it , fantastic video mate , awesome build ,love it. 👍
Sweet dog too!!
Excellent Adi, next project a bamboo workbench :)
Lolo thanks Kev, yes a proper bamboo workbench is badly needed.
Wow, thanks so much.

Many thanks Rael, your channel and advice has been greatly appreciated

Wow Adrian, what a great project. Really really nice build. Thank you for the learning experience.
Thanks !

Why did you take the bamboo strip roll apart? Wouldn't it have been easier to just keep together?! Great video btw. Lots of details :) Thanks!
Great project! Where do you get a roll of processed bamboo?

Great stuff Adrian, many thanks for sharing. Is it just one layer or bamboo? amazing to think how light this is going to be.

+1 cool
LOVE it! So awesome. What do you think about the Harry Proa? I'm very interested in building one.

Not much going the reverse from the long proven pacific proa... ama to windward is foolish
que material é essa chapa? é bambu? Sou do Brasil
Wow!! That looks awesome! Keep'em coming! 👍
Muito obrigado Teo! I have loved watching and learning from your channel too :)
Cats bamboo sailing canoes!! 👍
Excellent. I've been playing with this idea for a while but never actually got round to doing anything about it.
Yes there are two kinds of people in this world , talkers and doers , some just talk and others actually do it . 👍

I am very impressed by your creative use of your material and your craftsmanship! A beautiful Proa. Will you be showing a video on how well she sails?
