Proa Registration

My 21' trailerable camp cruiser proa build is finally at a stage that I'm beginning to think it may be done in my lifetime. Here in Oklahoma registration is fairly benign and inexpensive. My previous Trivial Obsession was registered and after discussion with the inspecting official I put the registration stickers midship of the leeward side of the hull and windward side of the float. This is a little iffy on the new boat since I'm not sure which way the float will end up; it's symmetrical except for a tip foil and whether it faces leeward or windward is going to depend on some trials.

The windward face of the seating pod will work fine but as long as I'm going with both stickers on the main hull is there any prior tradition I should be aware of.

 

Hey Skip!

How about a picture for a friend?

 

Fallguy, my apologies I really should have sent you something earlier. The m200 was a real blessing in making hard points for cleats, heavy spring attachments, hatch attachment rings and the like. Most importantly the attachment points for the telescoping aluminum tube beams are quite stout. Thanks again.

I have planned for a while to post something on the multihull structure thread as soon as everything is glassed in (a few weeks from now). The original design brief pegged the trailerable weight at 320# everything except personal gear. Currently looks like it might come in a bit under that the hull before the cabin ends were installed weighed in at ~150#.



Cheers,

It is all good, Skip. The boat looks great.
