My Proa requirements

1) Single hand
2) Fast
3) Gentleman racing
4) Live two
5) Sleep other couple and children (2 children and grand children)
6) Trailerable

For your consideration and/or entertainment, I offer the following Z40½ Roadster.  Current, it shows it as an Atlantic.  However, I'm still debating the Pros and Cons.

Specifications
  • Schooner Proa
  • 40' (12.2 m) Windward Passenger Hull
  • 60' (18.3 m) Leeward Performance Hull
  • 5000 lb (2270 kg) Race weight
  • 10,000 lb (4535 kg) Max weight
  • 80:20 Race weight ratio
  • 70:25 Cruise weight ratio
  • 1 King bed on bridge deck w/ panoramic views
  • 1 Queen bed in hull
  • 2 bunks (1 double, 1 single) in hull
  • Salon for 6
  • 2 Heads
  • 2 Showers (doesn't wet down head)
  • Work shop / office
  • Lee hull expected to contain kayaks and bikes.
  • Three levels - Hull, Bridge Deck & "Crows Nest"
  • Two helms - inside, and in Crow's Nest
  • Bridge Deck can be sailed closed as depicted or open (It is a roadster!)
  • Not shown - 10 foot dingy and tramps.
  • On a perfect day... Mitchlet predicts 27 knots at eminent hull flying in race trim.
  • And the insanity... It will fit within the USA interstate towing regulations of 40'x8.5'x13.5' and can be towed by mid size SUV's or full size 1/4 ton pick-up trucks. It is a true roadster
