G'Day Charlie,
 Not sure what you're tripping out on but they are all the same thing.
What else is there in this group
Some other things no one is interested in becausesthey don't understand.
If you can't follow I'll help spell it ou a bit:
Harriette, Elementarry,Harrigami and Rapscallion, Harry, Visionarry, 60'+, maxi. These are harryproas by ROb.
Same basic design. Some for two kids or a small adult(harriette), elemntarry for one or two adults including capmy cruising.... etc so on up to the untries supersizers.
If Drawings and photos don't show you the mast on one side and the "ballast" on the other its pretty simple to me.

Hi Rob,

I've been out of the Harry loop for a while, so please forgive me for not being up to speed,
and I apologize to everyone for not taking the time to read all the posts about Harriette,
but I'm curious and a bit worried. And I'm not nearly as educated as lots of you folks about
proa/Harry nuances or even sailboats in general.

So is Harriette really a Harry? It looks more like a bigger Elementarry. So isn't it really a
pacific proa, where crew weight keeps the boat afloat more than the weight of the ww
hull?

I can tell you're excited about the Chinese boats being ready for Christmas, but I'm
worried that you're going to be confusing people.

If it's more like a pacific proa than a Harry, you might want to start getting real clear about
that or you could damage your education efforts of the past decade.

Muddled branding has killed plenty of decent products in many industries. I'd hate to see
a big step backward.

If I'm wrong, how so?
