How do you keep your main sheet line from shafting where it runs through the holes underneath the mast base traveler tract?

@@fjordproa6510 Thank you. I wish I had some plans so that I could build one. I've looked at a lot of different proa designs and have gravitated towards yours. I guess it's because it's modern, water tight and has an easy system to shunt for single handed sailing. I grew up racing when I was a little kid and went to sailing school every summer. I loved it and also excelled at it. Over the years I've raced all types of boats but gravitated to catamaran sailing and almost qualified for the Olympics in a Tornado catamaran when I got first place in a qualifying regatta with about 200 boats on the starting line. I got four 1st and one second and it was my first catamaran race ever. Anyways, I'm planning on building a Cyber 48 to sail around the world and would really like to build a proa to take with me so that I can have a little extra fun. I was thinking of putting a hinge on the bottom with a rod that connected both halves together so that I can store it inside or have compact storage on the side deck. I believe that it could be water tight if I were to build it with tight tolerances and build it out of carbon fiber. It's either building one of these or building a 9 ft. Spindrift nesting dinghy by B&B Yacht Designs.

@@robertlaird6746 I would build a P5 from Othmar Karschulin or a T2 from Gary Dierking and put my riging system on it.

@@fjordproa6510 Thanks. I'm hear in the USA so don't know the metric system all that well. How long are these boats and what length would you recommend for the shortest size. I weigh 220 lb's.
