I also wish Rob all The Best,so he can finish the boat asap...but I'm still badder with the rig/sail choice for the new age harryproa...
It is absolutely not a new concept(Stowable semi-rigid wing sail system),and you guys have been on it many times before,but I can't stop thinking about it...and,if somebody will come up with the right idea,how to actually improve it and make it work...that will be great!!
Here are some links,I guess it's been called the Gallant rig...

I will build a harryproa one day,but the sail/rig choice and the steering system still must to improve...
...and just one other thing,if one want to race a proa with "the others",how do you do "the 360(or the 1 tack,1 jibe),in case you foul someone?
