I have a huge backlog of requests to see a modern Pacific proa tack. (Some call it "shunting." I prefer "tacking.") Here's Madness proa Hull #1 sailing on June 29, 2020. She's going fast but not making any wake thanks to a 15:1 length-to-beam ratio. Madness has been clocked at 20 knots on windier days. https://www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/wooden-sailboat-kits/proa/madness-31-foot-pacific-proa.html | Chesapeake Light Craft: Wooden Boat Kits
