Madness Rides Again
GALLERY | Click images to enlarge
The new owner of MADNESS has submitted some recent pics and videos of the 31’ proa doing his thing on Chesapeake Bay. MADNESS is a plywood and epoxy Pacific Proa design of John C. Harris. The plans are available here at CLC Boats. He says:
Proa MADNESS has been back in the water for 1 year and logged approx. 300 NM.
Max speed so far has been 17 kts with average speed being 8 to 10.
The video has some great footage of the lee pod getting used in anger.

It’s all about finding the right owner! As soon as I get a moment I hope to be a guest aboard.
One huge upgrade this season is a new carbon mast by Forte. It’s much better matched to the boat’s weight and righting moment compared to the factory-second Nacra section I started with.
