  Brilliant idea!  I'd gladly do it for the folding ends and telescoping mast (I'm already sold on a folding system).

  It might be tough to figure out the details to make it workable, but I'm sure that's possible.  I'd just need someone I've grown to trust, and who's already building Harryproas, such as Rob or Rick.

Hi Luc, All

agree and....
if even this group which tends to be following a while and fairly at the 'forefront' still has some questions - I think it is fair to assume the larger audience has them. So something to try to 'solve' that perception is probably worth it. (at the end more boats sailing is the ultimate proof of course)

Building on your point of 'work to be done' for proven elegant solutions for trailer sailor (or at least 'size reduction')I was wondering if a form of 'crowd sourcing' would work. I think if say 10 people chip in $500 to accelerate proof of 'folding ends', sliding/rotating beams, or even the 'extendable wing mast'. I think that money would be saved 3 fold when I would have my HP built. And for the first person taking the risk it may be a nice incentive to try.

Nic - would very much like to see what you/Rob are working on.
