Different to the spec I was using (low cost, low cost, low cost, island bunks, etc), but if I have to lose a client, I guess Derek would be the one I would choose to lose him to. Will be interesting to see how the proa problems are resolved. Interestingly, I have just sold a set of plans for a 15m flat panel Visionarry to a Peruvian who is having his boat built at the same yard (Ballotta). There are some more pics on their site. Ballotta are almost unique in that they give prices for completed boats once they have built them. Be very interesting to see the comparisons between the Kelsall cats and proa, the Stanton cats and the Vis.
I guess Seabbatical is building a harryproa after all, be it in a kelsall biplane rig version. It is called DRUA and is being built in Peru. Quite an exotic look & feel.
The SOR did change as bedrooms are all in hull.I can see where this configuration is more attractive than catamarans.No info on rig and rudder arrangement though.I also wonder if the see through panes are glass or mosquito nets?Luc
