Aloha everyone.
Michael we were in touch several years ago (Big Zen…remember?).
Now that I’m retired (sweet!) I have more time to “play” and a few days ago I started building an updated riff
on Big Zen. This time he will be called Sweet Aloha and will be more of an Ndrua type. I’ll post some videos.
Glad to be in the File!...
Aloha to All,
claudio

Hi Claudio, certainly I remember. Still living on the aluminum cat? It’s nice to hear from you, and as per, I love your take on back to basics and DIY boatbuilding. Thanks for sharing your latest build here.

Hi Michael,

We sold the floathome/houseboat 3 years ago and have been enjoying a more nomadic lifestyle.
It’s nice to have some real play-time once again and I’m really enjoying hooking up with your community.

Thanks for the warm welcome
Cheers

Hi Claudio,

I enjoyed reading your Big Zen articles on Duckworks, and am tuned in to your latest Big Zen iteration.
If you are still around Vancouver Island (aha, video 7 provided an answer), than it would be great to compare proas some time. Assuming we both finish our builds. I’m confident you will :o)

Hi Curtis,
Thanks for your kind remarks. I will be in Victoria (and the Gulf Islands!) for the rest of the summer. I would enjoy a coffee break and some Proa talk! Please do let me know if you are ever over this way and we’ll meet up.
I’m enjoying following your build, by the way. Some cool ideas in it.
Cheers for now,
claudio
