Very good to know that in the world there are people like you that make it possible to go against the tide dictated by media consumption. The Polynesian boats are the big key to get people to enjoy the sea. Congratulations<br /> I'm building a Wharram Tiki 26 catamaran's.

It saved me so far once, on the first tour we ran on to an wooden stick and cracked and punctured the flor in front of the second seat. But it was only filling this area with water 3''.<br />The beam is 8 foot to put it on the trailer without taking it apart and of course for the better look.Gunnar Jentzschnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897731496472085610.post-48002778053079823602011-01-24T20:41:48.772-08:002011-01-24T20:41:48.772-08:00Gary

Do you think you could use 10 to 12 foot crossbeams and a planked deck( similar to Wharram's Tahiti Wayfairer) to make a catamaran?seagypsynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897731496472085610.post-64640407615855169352011-01-23T05:48:37.937-08:002011-01-23T05:48:37.937-08:00cool, rugged looking thing, is it decked or self b...cool, rugged looking thing, is it decked or self bailing footwells or is it open?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897731496472085610.post-39377242819510987182011-01-20T07:23:45.827-08:002011-01-20T07:23:45.827-08:00Yes Gary is right, I did not want to have to thick...Yes Gary is right, I did not want to have to thick boards for the deck. Just the 4 feet section between the akas needs suport boards. Decking is made of pine 200mm by 20mm. At the moment I changed the mast for an bipodmast to lower the CE of the crabclaw sail.<br />Thanks for the comment<br />GunnarGunnar Jentzschnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897731496472085610.post-56590931734357205652011-01-18T14:58:21.452-08:002011-01-18T14:58:21.452-08:00Two crossbeams are adequate but Gunnar is trying t...Two crossbeams are adequate but Gunnar is trying to duplicate the classic Hawaiian structure which he did very well.
