Although I am multihull sailor for many years I never sailed a proa,
and I know very little about them. As I became interested in the proa
concept I started to study as much as possible via internet and proa
groups. Today, I have a reasonable idea how they work, BUT !! there is
always a "but" you wrote some thing in a article about harryproa
concept that confused me a lot. You wrote (about the steering/leeway
reduction) the following
"….. but eventually simple two balanced rudders were used of a size
which eliminated the need for centerboards, which can be used
INDIVIDAULLY or TOGETHER"
The concept of two rudder simultaneously in the water is a possibility
or I misunderstood what you wrote ? Sorry for what, might be a very
silly question.- Luis
