Proafile Update in Progress

28 April 2021     Editor    8 Comments.

Ahoy! Proafile has just undergone a big update (EE v.2 to v.6) and is now getting back into shape. Some images are missing but should appear again shortly. If you find any functionality not working, please let me know via the Contact Form, thanks.

I’m uploading an old racing proa concept from 2016 as a test entry, I don’t think I’ve published it before.

  • Hello Michael,

    Thanks for update about the site’s update.  Much appreciated.

    Your R2AK proa concept hasn’t been posted here before.  An amazing design - fully expect the proanauts to be wearing spacesuits.

    All the best,
    Paul

  • Paul: this design has gone through many iterations, and this was an early version. Actually, the proanauts are just wearing comfortable athletic wear because the capsule is providing a comfortable environment. 😉 The later versions I drew are made from plywood (of course).

  • Doug: I think about it sometimes. Do you think anyone would be interested? It seems like FB, etc. has got that space well covered.

  • Ed,
    Yes, I definitely think that proa popularity will continue to grow. I’ve been using proafile archives recently to find out about proas more.
    Proas sometimes even dominate the Sailing Anarchy - Multihulls section, but not everyone is comfortable using S.A.
    Why did it close?
    Is it a hard job to run?

  • I would love to see in the Archives you sketches once posted on Proafile discussion group. Not lost completely, I hope.

  • Janusz, the Forum archives are still there. The formatting is terrible and I’ll be working on an update shortly. Thanks for the comment.
