Couple of quick sketches of where the design could go. A development of the current design. Lug rig with moving leeboards. Beam wide like international canoe sliding seat. The colourful one is minimalistic strip planked wave piercing hull. The B&W one wider dory hull with attached outrigger, more a laid back touring / expedition boat.

Back at work so not much movement on the proa, the mast partners are made and bolted on, new leeboard slider made, two new hatch holes cut.

Other news - the number 57 sail - see earlier has now been turned into a 'storm sail' for the RS vision and was used to great effect last Saturday. Slow controlled up wind work and a wet sleigh ride down wind with the asymmetric.
