Videos and pictures from the Third Texas Proa Championships, October 9 2010:

John's very clever hard tramp.  The 1/8" ply surface is supported by a web of ropes.  Firmer than a tramp, very light.  Clever.  John's boats are prone to make me ask myself, "Why didn't I think of that?"

 

 

The model for Skip's new boat.  Looks exciting...

Moth rigging.

 

 

When the halyard is on the wrong side of the stay, the solution involves a wrench and a lob.

 

 

John's and Kevin's boats on the beach.

 

 

In the fading light, the schooner Moth rig is done.
