#507 I'll just copy what I wrote over on the Coot group. Raven is indeed an interesting boat! <g> "Raven started life as a breakdown proa from Gary Dierking's book on proas. She can be taken apart on the beach and loaded into a pickup. John, the builder, found her a handful with the big original single crabclaw sail, so he gave her the present two masted dipping lug rig. I've watched him shunt (Pacific proas swap bow and stern instead of tacking) and I still don't know what exactly goes on. <g> I was talking to Joe Grez, from Electric Paddle, in Kingston and he said Raven was a physicist's dream boat, because of the need to balance all kinds of forces to sail and steer the boat successfully. I hadn't told him that John actually _is_ a physicist! ;o) "During this Salish 100 I heard a call on the radio asking for someone to check on Raven, because it looked like she was in trouble. I figured John was just shunting her. <g>" More photos: https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=43145927%40N00&sort=date-taken-desc&view_all=1&text=lazenby What the boat was supposed to be when it was first built: toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On 7/29/2021 8:05 AM, COD wrote: I’d love to know more about the funky schooner-proa in a couple fotos. -- -- |

#510 Nice boat. Gary’s done some great plans and it looks like that one is nicely built. I once drew up something similar by taking two bows of Bolger’s Folding Schooner intending to make a model (well, something like a 10 or 12 ft version). Looks like it would really go in a steady breeze. I recall John Harris getting a chance to sail in the only Bolger Whalewatcher some years back on the Chesapeake, and he mentioned he was astonished by how powerful a dipping lug is when reaching. — Craig O'Donnell dadadata@... cell 443-282-8073 toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
