Way cool to see another one of these has been built!

I attended a seminar by the owner of Chesapeake Light Craft on stitch and glue construction. His presentation highlighted all the construction methods with examples from some of their very well designed kits. He had an 18 foot racing kayak there that was simply beautiful and very light/strong. But the thrill of the presentation for me was when he showed this proa design as a bit of an afterthought. Always great to uncover multihull enthusiasts! At the time he didn't say that he was going to make the plans available, and I asked him if was considering a catamaran based on a similar concept. He said he had thought about it, and if he did it it would be plans and not a kit. Keeping my fingers crossed...
