Since you are using square edge strips there will normally be some gap on the outside, particularly at the turn of the bilge. I'd possibly taper...
I've got a full suite (suit?) of spf50 clothing, fisherman's tech stuff and it's helped keep me sunburn free for a number of multiday excursions...
The cambered panel staysails on QB are the result of a long journey to find a sail rig uniquely suited to a proa. The balanced club sail on P52...

My experience with a 'conventional proa' in light winds is that overall minimal wetted surface dominates. The least amount of wetted surface...
I vote for crazy. An alternate approach would be to have the beams end in real ring frames and then you could just rotate the hulls back upright,...
