Harry Proa Bucket list

Foiling Bucket List/Volvo Proa has been nominated for a Foiling Week award in the Projects still in design phase but not yet in production section, sponsored by Persico Marine, the high end race boats builder in Italy.

Voting is open until the 16th November at FW Awards 2017 Nominations http://www.foilingweek.com/pages/season-2017/foiling-week-awards-2017/nominations-for-foiling-awards-2017-are-open/

Contestants are:
-Harryproa a new foiling proa by Rob Denney
-Laureano Marquinez Nahuel Wilson monohull foiler MW680F
-Pegasius Project by Sébastien Rogues
-@infinityperformanceyachts 56 by Farr Yacht Design
-Goodall Design viper foiler
-Barracuda Yacht Design @inigo toledo 110ft 75 kts foiling superyacht

Progress is being made on the conversion. The lee hulls and beam are ready for joining, the rudder mounts are in, the foils and rudders are made and the wand/foil/rudder linkage is sorted, but not yet installed, the steering system (combination of quadrant and tiller) is part built. Nothing is faired and there is still a lot to do, plus testing, breaking and fixing. And the rig.

 

Many thanks to all who voted. It appears we are through to the final and another vote is required. Please visit http://www.foilingweek.com/pages/season-2017/foiling-week-awards-2017/foiling-project-award-by-persico-marine/ and vote again.


Pictures and progress report on Foiling Bucket List (does not look as glitzy as the renderings, but will suffice to demonstrate what works and what doesn't) will be on the web page and facebook shortly.

 

It's close! Voting closes on the 23rd.
