Jim BrownPARK IT, DAD

This Caper is based on one of my favorite stories from, “Among The Multihulls – Volume 2.” It tells of a passage from Bermuda to New England in son Russell’s proa when I was recruited as crew.

It turned out to be an intense father and son adventure … including descriptions of the proa’s handling in storm waves!

I had previously not been interested in proas, but this voyage really turned my head. I have since concluded that the proa is the most conceptually perfect of all sailing machines, and I suspect this configuration will play an important part in the future “green recovery” for humankind.

More on this if requested. HAPPY HOLIDAYS
