seeing more pictures of your finished boat and the building and stepping

get some of the boat sailing. Please let use know how it sails and your
experience with it when you get your sails.

like to hear more from other Harryproa owners of there sailing
experience as I am still wavering between weather to build a Harryproa
or a more conventional catamaran such as a Shuttle 28 or 31, or the new
F-32. The F-32 is currently my last choice as I have built two
trimarans already and would like something different but I have not
ruled it out..

Evenso with putting mast and boom together and rigging it the days flew
past. Always lots of small jobs to do you seem to forget about before
and once done you don't remember them.

behind schedule and so they hadn't yet arrived. That was

really would have liked to sail this boat.
