A key element in this singlehanded shunting method is to use a bridle as the attachment point between the yard and the mast. I got this idea from Commodore Munroe's proa as pictured below.</div>

The bridle accommodates the peculiar geometry of the shifting mast and sail arrangement. This method will not work without it. Watch the action where the yard meets the mast and it can be seen why.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also, brailing the sail is not necessary but it helps to keep the sail out of the water and tames it in the process. I'm using standard "spilling lines", run to the mast, to accomplish this.</div>

<span style="color: #54595d;"><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa;">I've posted this image so as to allow it to be blown up to its full size and enjoyed. Note two accuracies: The stone or coral foundations on which the homes are built (peculiar to Yap) and also the leeward curve in the very tip of the mast - characteristic of Carolinian canoes - to allow clearer wind into the sail.</span></span><br />

This is my first and only take and there's no narration. Please pardon the amateurish quality. It was my first video shot on a (borrowed) smart phone.<br />

<br />
By the way, the sail can be shunted without brailing it up as shown but the foot would drop nearly into the water when the mast is centered. The brailing does come in handy at times.<br />
<br />
Here's the video and a poem-like mnemonic device for the shunting sequence:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Brail it up </i>(the sail)</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Center it up </i>(the mast)</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Move the sail across</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Drop it down</i> (the boom)</div>
</div>

So, I'm satisfied that I have found a good method of single-handing the traditional Micronesian proa rig. <span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><b>Should I be blessed to be able to build again I'm confident that this will allow me to handle the rig in larger boats and in most sea states.</b></i></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
Following are some pictures and more in-depth commentary which I hope will help. I've left the pictures huge - it may help to see the details. BTW, as soon as I can get Blogger to cooperate, I'll post a higher resolution video.<br />
<br />
Please bear in mind that this is a crudely and cheaply built mock-up made to test a rig idea - the fittings consist of what I had on hand.<br />

(1) In this longshot we see the basic rig. With the continuous-loop backstay belayed note that the backstay is taut even though there is slack in the forestay. No matter - the yard is bowsed-down to the the bow with a bungee cord and hook. The yard stays in place even if the boat is pitching around in a choppy sea.<br />

(7) and (8) Two views of how the halyard bridle works while shunting the sail. The bridle allows the yard to move upward while passing amidships thus keeping the heel and foot of the sail out of the water.<br />

(10) and (11) A couple of final shots on port tack. In shot (11) the heel of the yard has gotten out of its socket at the bow but the real boat would use a stronger bungee cord and hook to keep it bowsed down snugly. The "keeper" sketched below worked pretty well on my first boat.<br />

Good results working with the "new tack" mock-up rig this weekend! <span style="color: #3d85c6;">There's a new Page I've put up on it - <i>A Working Crabclaw Sail:</i></span><br />

<br />
I'm happy enough now with this rig that I'd use it tomorrow if I could build a new boat! That's all I can ask. The ancients have already done it all for me! All I ever needed was a way of short-handing the rig. I'm ready to go sailing now!</div>

Plenty of photos here. I only picked these two because the sharpness of the hulls caught my eye. Plenty of lateral resistance, eh?</div>

</xml><![endif]-->I happened to be reading an article at Wikipedia about the venerable Sunfish and it mentioned that the design was one of the earliest production <i>planing hulls</i> (under sail). So I followed the link to <i>planing</i> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planing_(boat)"><b>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planing_(boat)</b></a><br />
<br />
Was delighted to read, "The earliest documented planing sailboat was a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proa" title="Proa">proa</a> built in 1898 by
Commodore <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Munroe#Vessels_designed" title="Ralph Munroe">Ralph Munroe</a>; it was capable of speeds of more than
twice the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed" title="Hull speed">hull
speed</a>. "<br />

wind on the quarter, outrigger in air and spray flying, they were traveling at
a very high speed for a small boat. Then suddenly, with a little extra puff,
the fore part of the boat lifted under them and, skimming the surface like a
skipping stone, leaped into a surprising burst of speed. The sea beneath swept
by like a cataract, vague and foam-streaked, the tugging steering oar cut a
clear open cleft in the water and threw up on either side a long rainbow of
spray, while the boat itself rested so lightly on the water that she made
little, if any, disturbance in her flight. They stole hurried, ecstatic glances
at each other. How fast were they going? What sort of creature was this proa?
And what on earth was she doing?"</span><span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On the subject of planing hulls - IMHO, while there's no denying that the deep-V'd native hulls are the most beautiful and offer the bonus of great lateral resistance for windward work, there's one advantage that a flat-bottomed hull will have and that is the ability<i> to plane. </i> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Any finely proportioned hull, i.e. with a high length-to-beam ratio, will be able to go faster and faster as the driving power increases and there is no "hull speed barrier" so to speak, which must be overcome. But while the knive-edged V hull keeps slicing <i>through the water</i>, a flat-bottomed hull will climb <i>on top of the water </i>and really <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">go</span></i></span> at that point.

It's about </span></span>boat re-building in the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda:<br />

It's a worthy project and article - please read. I post the photos here just to present the simple but efficient kind of hull that can be built in a "quick and dirty" fashion. Resourceful, inexpensive, and working with materials on hand - all the way of sustainability and the way we must go, as I understand it. We must work (gratefully) with what we've been given...<br />
<br />
(The hull itself bears quite a resemblance my own old <i>Voyager</i> hull which, incidentally, sailed to windward respectably on it's hard chine.)<br />

All out of scrap wood. Just an experiment to see if a hull could be built out of 1 sheet of plywood. It carried me (150 pounds) both paddling and even sailing but of course, as I expected, performance was <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;">abysmal! </span></span> (To be expected with a waterline length of maybe 7' and tubby proportions.)<br />
<br />
But it sure was fun to be on the water again - even if only in a "toy" boat.<br />
