Made several improvements to my proa, Waimea.
A new leeboard on the ama makes shunting easy and reliable,
because if you release the sail, the boat turns side on to the wind,
which is ideal for a proa, enabling you to shunt and sail away in either direction.
Also, I tried sailing in stronger winds, using the brailing lines to react to gusts and stay straightish.
With that I'm able to sail the roughly the direction I wanna go, but I want to be able to hold on to that wind power longer, and sail really fast! So I think it might be time for an oar. But that will be in the next video.
