A new back-end for Proafile! The site has been upgraded to Expression Engine which doesn't mean much to visitors, but should make my admin more fun, meaningful, and productive! It also means that all Proafile pages are now search engine friendly.
The Endless VacationPosted: 06/23/05 |
Flotsam & Jetsam

My husband, Barry, and I enjoy independent and isolated nomadic living. So we really thought we had it made 11 years ago when we bought a 40-foot ketch and began island hopping up and down the West Indies. Eight years later, however, we'd both had had our fill. The ketch was a constant expense and every safe anchorage for a boat of that size, we'd found, was too populated by curious natives and/or other ships and yachts for our tastes. "There must be a better way," we told ourselves. "There must be a way for us to enjoy an endless round of sailing, swimming, fishing, shelling, contact with wildlife, and -- most important of all -- solitude and privacy. And there must be a way for us to do all this on little more than pennies a day."

Contributed by Chris Ostlind. Chris is a performance small craft designer/builder in Salt lake City, Utah. See more of his designs at Watertribe. PB Racer is a sail/paddle kayak double for expedition adventure races such as the Watertribe Everglades Challenge. I pulled the basic hull form from an expedition double I had designed to see how well the form could be adapted to a concept boat of this type. I just gave it a transom and some additional rocker and after a lofting of the new curves, the resultant sectional shapes yielded a surprisingly good hull for sailing after I ran the hydrodynamics. A small tweak here and there and it was very good.

Gary Dierking has launched Wa'apa - "a three board sailing canoe". The handsome design is intended for sheet plywood construction, and is built in three take-apart 8 ft. sections, which can be assembled as a 16 or a 24 footer. The 24 footer seats up to four crew, and the canoe may be rigged as a tacking outrigger, a shunting proa, or even a trimaran. Optional trampolines and a tent will allow sleeping onboard. Construction plans include full size patterns, printable PDF files, and construction photos. Details at Gary Dierking Boatbuilder
