Small tacking outrigger.

14' TOR - advertised as a proa - AMF Hilu. Ahead of it's time apparently, as it didn't take off and almost none left. Same people also did a 14' cat -again with the sunfish rig - Catyak (i think). Just wondering what you guys think of it.....

Hello Alex,

Pardon me for stepping in here late, but I just came across this thread.

I am also looking for information about the AMF Hilu and wondering what you found.

Here's the best I have come across so far.

Wikipedia entry - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilu -

and this ad...




From other articles I've read, I do not believe AMF made Catyak.

This is a nice one, though a friend built it and didn't convert either to proas or constant camber.
