Hi folks,

I would like to introduce myself to the crew here. I’m a small craft designer of all kinds of boats from a one sheet kids canoe to a 30’ power trimaran created for high efficiency travel. Over the years, I have created a fairly eclectic group of boats of all types with a specialty of designing multihull vessels in all shapes, sizes and purposes…. except proas. I’ve come close to the genre with a couple of tacking outrigger designs, but have just not had the proper inspiration to jump on over, so to speak, and get with the program.

That’s weird, even for me, as I have always been intrigued by the form and its long and interesting history.

I aim to change that in the near future and with the helpful inspiration and comments from the gang assembled here, I look to have a wonderful experience in this part of the boating world.

Best regards,

Chris Ostlind
