The major part of this site is dedicated to my « proa
project » and it’s components. I have tried to skip scientific
details, which can be found in the « Sail Performance »of
C.A.Marchaj (Adlard Coles Nautical) or in the links, where the subject is
covered in detail, at least in the technical aspect. I didn’t forbid
myself the pleasure of adding a few pages about my first passion :
Oldtimers. Before starting… I thank : Mr. J. Mussier and Mr. C.Laurelli,
the President and the Director of the « Club Recherche et Loisir
Paris 10éme, »for the financial backing of my project and for the
confidence that they had in me. I thank the Professor C.A.Marchaj for the authorization to reproduce illustrations from his book to which I frequently refer. I thank my wife, Michéle Huard, for her patience and
understanding. |
