Hi fellow Wharram Friends,



I have recently bought and unfinished Tikki 46, the exterior is pretty much fixed but I am having concern on the seaworthiness of the boat as I don't have the plans to double check.







I also see a lot of conflicting advice on internet regarding the glassing or not of the interior of the hulls and bulkheads.







I know that the boat is supposed to have had two layers of 6 oz (200gsm) on the outside of the hull, do you… Continue

Bonjour.

J'ai déjà remonter au vent avec un cap de monocoque dans des creux allant jusqu'à 2 mètres sans avoir à réduire la voilure...

It removed the heavy building base structure out of the cycle; the fixed backbone and bulkhead structure could be stood up on any type of floor and squared up with a string through the centreline. The bulkheads would be leveled with wedges to the floor.…

Hi Everyone,

We have progressed into our next phase of R&D for our Narai Mk IV wooden catamaran build: building a 1:10 scale model of one hull. Hanneke Boon strongly suggested we build a model; she’s been building them herself since she was 14 years old. For the next few months, we’ll be sharing Building Logs to establish good practice for documenting the real build, which we anticipate will…
