Building the Boat

As of yet the boat exists in each of our heads. Each one of the characters has a different vision of what the craft will entail. We have agreed that it will be a proa design with Cayucos (dug out canoes) for hulls and the wind as our primary means of propulsion.

Various designs have been considered and designed, but due to financial and time goals the product will be very basic.
The first task is to find hulls and a mast. With these components in had, we will head to a friends beach to fill out the remaining design details including sleeping space, steering, centerboard, backup propulsion etc.
