Sailing proa to attempt circumnavigation

The large sailing Proa Gaias Dream is to attempt a circumnavigation.  Certainly an interesting project the craft is a 71' Pacific proa completely constructed out of Australian plantation timber. It has a cargo capacity of about 6 tonnes and a 26 knot theoretical top speed.  I've attached some videos of the boat shunting and sailing.  The website includes a tracker for the boat which will be regularly updated when they start their attempt.
