RUSSELL BROWN and His PROVEN PROAS

I've admired proas ever since sailing aboard Cimba, a Russ Brown design. Cimba is 37 feet long and goes like the wind. Attached are some photos I took of Cimba in the Bahamas whilst cruising aboard my 15 sharpie Little Cruiser. - Dave Bolduc

and Russell Brown's latest 37' Pacific proa!

The Photographer's Sailboat! Little Cruiser,
a fifteen foot sharpie cruising the Bahamas!
Many new friends were made while cruising this area, and one of our favorites was the McGregor family. They were traveling on a fantastic 37 foot proa called "Cimba," built by Lew McGregor and his friend the designer, Russell Brown. Though spartan in comparison to the typical forty footer, this polynesian craft was extravagant next to our own.
