AYRS Zoom Meeting

Mark Hillmann has been building a 30 foot proa over a number of years and 2025 was the year he launched it and sailed it on Lake Windermere.  Based on his sailing last year he does not want to continue with the project so has offered to tell us what he has found unsatisfactory and has titled this talk ‘Proa Failures’.   This is sad, but perhaps we can learn something from his assessment. (the picture below shows the proa in 2024, at that stage it did not have its proper rig, just a couple of old sails that were used to test the sail hoisting arrangements).
