yes, waapa is white-orange one, and is handmade with proud by myself. you can see her from safety ama side. "her"? I was told that in Polynesia proa is "he", but anyhow that`s not the metter. unfortunately I have only some pics from my telephone, I lost my camera during event (sunken? stolen? stolen&sunken? everything was possible...)
there were eight proas during II Polinesian Boats Event in Poland. It means that we had 80% of Polish proa fleet there. All but one wooden, all shunting, three of them with crab claws, four lateen sail and one "special case". four of them v-hulls, one waapa, one Tepuke - the biggest one, built by my friend Jerzy on the basis of some photos and pictures found in books, Tepuke is very different, it looks rather like a ship than a boat, great stuff. One called "Maderka" Proa is a kind of a "reversed proa" - almost flat bottom, and on the top reversed camber, rather small but very fast. And the most impressive although small one "Nietoperz" ("Bat") yellow canoe with outrigger, as a sail using a wing from paraglide. Paraglide, not a kite.
"Pjoa" proa with Janusz as Toliwaga and smaller one "Wikiwiki" with Jerzy as Toliwaga, came to the sea from a lake (lake Jamno has a cannal to the Baltic Sea). And they started beach cruising i.e. sailing along seaside, trying not to go farther than 2 miles from a shore (our local law regulations prohibit us from crossing that distance). Me myself, as my proa is not trimmed sufficiently, did not join them, instead I came on the motor boat for catching cod (with guide to have more chances - good choise - at least we found some cod fish). Seing Baltic sea from a board of relatively big motor boat I had absolutely no idea how Janusz and Jerzy had crossed a break from a beach... Baltic has a very short, stepp waves. For sure they have that what in spanish is called "cojones"...
