Had an excellent visit to the Deutsches Technik Museum http://www.sdtb.de/English.122.0.html in Berlin recently. Fantastic maritime section, the Roman river barge had to be the star attraction for me, but also this Proa was an excellent find. I'd never seen this sail technology before, so great learning experience, wikipedia link if you want to know more about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotorsail.Falcon building is stalled for a week while I go to the UK, however the sailing club is now open and in 2 weeks it will be sailing.
