Nixe Proa, videos of the boat under sail and motor

It's been interesting to watch Alexander's home built Nixe proa under construction and now sailing you can read about it over at the excellent proafile.com forum.  It's intended as a performance cruiser and seems to fulfill it's brief well.  Nice cruising grounds too Phang Nga Bay is spectacular.

You can read about the boats construction and launching at the following link.

Nixe proa completed and launched

Alexander has completed and launched his new Nixe Proa.  It's been an interesting project to see under construction built using the tortured or stressform ply method.

Nixe Proa, looking great and nearing completion

I notice over on proafile that Alexander has made more progress on his Nixe proa.  Looking sharp in fresh paint and  close to launching.

Nixe Proa build, two hulls become one proa

We love all multihulls over here at Trimaran Project and one project that has caught our eye in particular is the "Nixe" proa being built by Alexander in Thailand.  Alexander and his helper have now moved to the stage of joining the hulls with newly constructed crossbeams.  It's all looking very good.  The build thread is on the proafile forums here

Nixe Proa, build progressing well

Some time ago I put up a link to this interesting thread on the Proafile forums, this proa is being constructed using the tortured ply or "stressform" technique in Thailand.  The builder "Alexander" has made excellent progress and the most recent updates are here
