That video has some nice hull flying in it. Not a huge cabin. But of a camper class cruiser maybe. Well it is the long hulls that I loved about sidecar (lw hull at least). It sticks way out and is so thin and slices through not hobby-horsing. No wake turbulence and so on. There are a few people doing there large cruising cat with 40' accomodations but extending out their cat hulls to about 60'. Longer but skinnier. I don't think the leeward hull length of a proa should be compared exactly to a catamaran length though. We need to be far longer in proportion to the accomodations I think. Or is it just that we can afford to go longer without much extra weight and expense? Doug Western Australia. --- On Tue, 10/5/11, John <jrwells2007@yahoo.com.au> wrote:
