I am considering trying out the proa concept with a quick and dirty
version of an Elementarry Camper (Rob, when I get to starting I shall
pay for the plans even if I only vaguely follow them - your concept
and calculations after all).
In small boat sizes I am lead to believe that stitch and glue ply is
as good as any system for light weight and ease of construction. As
this would be quick and dirty (and cheap), longevity is not a
consideration.
I am thinking of slab sided, flat bottomed and slim. Easy to build
quickly and the slimness maintains good speed potential despite the
hard chines. I previously owned an F27 and it is for about this speed
that I am aiming.
Am I missing something or does this look possible given that I am
happy working with wood?
