Great Vid man, best Shunting I seen on the tube!!! Amazing! First time I see the advantage of Aft CE on shunter. My rig carries CE ahead of mid ship, yours Aft. I must go off the wind, sail on a beam reach, some times slow, sometimes I may almost stop, now I shunt and move my rig to my new bow, boat heads up and off I go, sailing to windward.... Your boat turns around it's sail, like a wind vane, Amazing!! I lose distance sailing towards a hazard on a beam reach, you shunt like a tacker losing nothing! turning the vessel around your sail, Well Done!!! Keep Shunting Bro, Balkan Shipyards

Thanks I always wanted to see a video of a proa shunting up a narrow channel. Interesting that using both rudders worked so well, though it would take a bit of concentration to get it right.

I've done this on a bigger proa and it's really not that much different than tacking once you get the hang of it. Sailing right up to the rocks and coming to a complete stop within a boat length and then shooting off in the other direction again is a unique experience

Totally get the name Crazy Proa. I like the lazy man's shunting style.

Short-shunting zen. This is inspiring. Thanks.

Охренеть! Никогда не думал что он может и передом и задом. А разворачивается-то как почти на месте)).

Обожаю сумасшедших конструкторов за оригинальность !

looks like it's going great! I've never seen a proa with the rudders right on the very ends like that! wouldn't mind a close up view of how they work!

How clever is that! Interesting and wierd looking.

Thank you, have an idea of how I want to build a Proa, this gave me an idea about the sail, great! 🙂

Excellent…but did you also try tacking to compare. (If that is possible)

wow it really picks up speed when it gets out into the channel!

There should be a significant force on a rudder, right? Center of lateral resistance is constant, but the sail force goes around the mast while you tacking 🤔

well done! did you use the rudders or was it just sail position? it‘s impressive either way, i‘m just curious about the design and possibilities

Handsome! What are the specifications? Length, weight, sail area? Cheers!
