Hooray, this is the first tacking proa or outrigger canoe KZitem video I've seen where you get to see the boat tack! Really lovely looking boat and love the chair seats.

This looks like quite a brilliant design. It looks like it would have many of the advantages of a junk rig (easy reefing, light luff tension) but also a very good lift to drag ratio, given the high aspect ratio, and smooth sail shape. It doesn't have any balance area so it would have a hard gybe, but doesn't have need a massive boom either. the sheetlets and lazy jacks would make more drag than a modern squaretop sail but this looks much lower stress. What are the batons made from? are they just regular fiberglass sail batons?

ah I saw your other comment that this was a sail from a tornado.

The battens were taken from old windsurf sails. I did add a roller furling jib later.

makes a great case for the tacking canoe esp when getting through stays with a unirig which I could never do.

The curved up stern rocker made it turn quite easily. I don't think I ever blew a tack.
