Equilibre
A French West Indies Proa
Jeremy Fischer designed, built and sails his 40’ proa Equilibre out of Martinique. Everything about this boat is virtually perfect: the strong Micronesian heritage, the huge crab claw sail, the time and cost sensitive construction/fit-out, even the color (probably the result of the can being on clearance at the local chandlery). Equilibre helps me think about balance, not only with wind and tide, but with the environment (economic and natural), with my fellow man, and maybe most of all, with my spirit.
I’m surprised there’s no comments, i have this proa in
my play list on YouTube. My screensaver on my
phone a computer since I first saw it year ago. Ive
seem similar ones but none to fire my imagination
like this. Which ys why I’m here. Hoping for pics i
don’t have. I love this yellow / orange iroa
