Hello,
Multihull kook, cruiser, and armchair designer here.
I'm interested in large cruising proa designs and have visited Jim Antrim's site and TSpeer's symetrical foil models--most interesting and helpful.

I'm curious if anyone knows if there is a rotatable power leg on the market that could be applied to a large cruising proa design. Seems like a specialty application (read $$). With a large proa it seems you'd want to be able to motor both directions and an outboard for a cruising powerplant starts to become impractical.

Ideas?

Best people to ask would be the proa mailing list, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/proa_file/.

According to Rob Denny (http://www.harryproa.com)'s FAQ, it isn't necessary to motor in both directions (http://www.harryproa.com/a10.htm).
