Ian Aitken's Proa JACKNIFE.
I bought some jammers and horn cleats so can now get some leech tension and the sails set much better. Well done North Sails I am very impressed with how good the top of the square-top main sets.

Far underrated channel. 👍👍👍👍
Lovely boat, indeed, Ian. Congratulations. And a nice set of sails, too.
Looking forward to following this design, cheers for the upload Ian.
Crew is awesome! Hope all are well and still afloat
That's a good looking sailing rig friend.
Astonishing that this is the first proa I have seen with an “Aero” rig. It seems like a really natural choice. I hope it works as well as it looks like it ought to!
brilliant creation. do you have a web page detailing anything about the boat?
Nice Sails
What a sweet set up that is, can see a lot of creative thinking went into her. What was the end cost of this design and are there plans available?
Boa noite, muito bacana seu proa, duas perguntas: 1) o mastro é giratório? 2) qual matérial do mastro? Grato saudações. Ass. Renato
Do you have any diagrams of your tiller to rudder link? I would be interested to see them if they exist.

No sorry, the linkage is just a stainless tube with marine grade rod ends. I sorted out the geometry on a model before making the full size parts. When I am sailing next summer I will video a shunt and show how the rudders flip around 180 degrees and how the tillers are used.
