What a great adventure, Dominic! Tell us more about sleeping aboard. What are the cockpit dimensions, how deep in the vaka were you sleeping, was it...
hiya Domenic, very, very impressive. It is actually quite humbling as me having a couple of hulls and a rig but am still doing modest rowing and here you go...
I only slept in sheltered anchorages so chop wasn't an issue. with a small shallow draft boat like yours you should always be able to get in close a windward...
I think your doing fine. this was my second attempt. my first boat didn't get very far at all. oh, i forgot to say, wade: the vaka floor is about 6 inches...
VINCENT, Sounds great. Call the sailing press to come cover your event. thanks DONCAMPBELL prao38 <besin.vincent@...> wrote: Hello, We are organising...
I see your foiled proa concept.Looks good.The foils are angled toward the ama and are only at the ends of the vaka. Are the foils producing lift or downward...
Great adventure Dominic. Just back from overnight car camping with my kids in Salsipuedes Baja California. An old surfer hang out, olive grove 100 ft above the...

oops, all photos come out like that in the southern hemisphere, due to the coriolis effect, and you have to manually turn them around. I must have missed that...
Today I finally got to jump back into the proa after repairing the hole from the EC back at the begining of March. I took with me a saw and cut away the...
As usual, I want the akas to be strong and light. I will laminate 4 planks of 0.75 DF t+g flooring and plane out the t+g's. The aka dimension will then be...
I would think the 3-ply lamination would be plenty strong enough for 8 foot span, whether you use all DF or a center ply of cedar. I am planning on using 3...
