I like the Ikea idea. Let the machines do all the measuring and cutting. I hope that this philosophy will be extended to the larger designs. I find that the weakest component on my monohull is me. I urge you to consider the comfort of a very sea-sick solo sailor. Self steering is mandatory. (Mine is called Attila the Hun.) Consider Paulonia plywood from China. I shall be growing my own on my land in Southern Tasmania. It is fast growing, light and rot resistant.
He was actually a bit of a egotistical self obsessed chauvinist in real life. My family knew him and although a talented designer he was not a great human being.
Such a poignant and beautiful memory Hanneke... much thanks! Your life time contributions to the freedom of our oceans is already legendary and Spirit of Gaia will forever be the people's Flagship! You 3 showed us the way to create our own dreams of freedom... fair winds and following seas!

What a legacy you have and are continuing to create. Have just started looking at your boats and videos and enjoying them. Thank you from southern highlands of New South Wales Australia Where can i buy your book. Regards Rob
A great tribute to you and John, as you portray a new vision of history and it's indigenous technical and cultural heritage. Thank you for sharing your inspiring dedication with this community and the world beyond.
How cool to hear James Wharram’s voice and hear him explaining basically the basis of his whole life’s work. For sailors everywhere, this is a massively important documentary, an honor to experience.
Wow! respect, love, sorrow. As an addictive designer maker forever, i want to combine yurts and double canoes, may sound crazy but the 2 pinnacles of nomadic design.
Thanks for sharing the building process! I really would love to build one of these but at ~20,000$ Canadian for the kit I don't think I could "float" that. I might be interested in buying the designs and then trying to build it myself in a lower cost way though! I really love the philosophy and think the size is perfect, and really like that it gives a bit more interior space than the Tiki 21. I have grown up sailboat racing but I think my future is more focused on just ENJOYING my time and not being forced to go to certain places. Freedom ya know! I know a lot of very talented folks who would be willing to help out on the build too, and I am no DIY slouch myself, but I live in an apartment so build space is something of a challenge. Something I really like about these boats is that they are modular, but I wish I could figure out a way to get even more modular than these. I also think there's probably a variation that could be done on the Tiki 21 design that might allow more livable space when needed too but I have to think on it! Either way! Thanks for sharing these! It really does make boat building seem a lot more approachable.
Basically polynesians are a mixture of Filipina and papuan the polynesians cannot accept it but the Filipina are the most beautiful ladies in the world also our native melanesian Filipino negrito aeta also are the best looking melanesian group
No wrong. We Tongans and Sāmoans are from the Kingdom of Tonga and Sāmoa. We Polynesians are not of your kind. The white man colonised indoctrinated ideology is rubbish. We Tongans especially were Seafaring Warriors 1500 years ago Tu'i Tonga Empire ie. Giants. Our bone structure are bigger, wider, heavier and more dense than you Asian, Filipinos. Your kind have lighter boned structure smaller in stature and where is the correlation? Doesn't make sense. Search Tu'i Tonga Tu'itatui king warrior of Tonga and the Trilithon Ha'amonga and 40 metres down from there you will see his Giant Coral Backrest and you will get a gauge on how massive this Human was and how massive the Tongans were back then and today like the Sāmoans also which are 2 of the closest related people. We Polynesians are from Polynesia not from Asia.
@@alfredtameifuna8928 you can call us asians and offend us our ladies in Hawaii and in guam are majority of the beautiful ladies are Filipina and actually if you go to all the other islands in the Philippines islands there more beautiful we dont want to be tongan or samoans we respect yall to the fullest but the samoans were on time nice to Filipinos then they snapped do your research alot of the words in samoan originated from the beautiful islands of the Philippines 7000 islands guam are Pacific islander they look exactly like Filipinos but when they take DNA is pure Filipino I straight out tell Filipinos the polynesians were one time cool with us but they hate us for being to good looking suavicito and the ladies are hot like tamales
@@kidmanila2160 I ain't talking about your ladies what you on about? I'm talking about us Polynesians are different not the same as your kind? Sāmoan language does NOT come from Philippines get that straight. I'm Sāmoan also, my Ancestors are so I know bro. We're are different breed from you people and totally different in everything, language, culture, traditions... You Filipino stick to your own kind and don't be listening to the white man theories. Different bone structures you people are small, We're huge humans literally... Stating facts brah, you young ones with internet social media these days think you know it all lol. Relax, Filipino are there own people and not connected to us Polynesians.
@@kidmanila2160 😂 Sāmoan words never originated from the Philippines. Where TF did you get that from? And I'm definitely not talking about your women here? Do you understand what I wrote in my previous message? I'm Sāmoan also btw and we Polynesians are different from your kind? Filipino is not Polynesian? That narrative come about when internet Google, social media came about. You Filipino are different people smaller in stature and lighter bone structure compared to us bigger people bigger bone structure body mass etc... there is no correlation brah.
It was proven by elena fowler from familytreedna that there's a number of different male lines, one from the austronesian but one that is from the aboriginals migration, that being haplogroup c
A beautiful homage to the people of the sea. Seeing the last crew navigate by night was special to watch. Must’ve been very sad indeed, once the journey came to an end. Lovely work, Hanneke.
I am a fan of glass microspheres as they are slightly stronger than the wood and sand easily. A clear video. I also recommend Mastering Epoxy With Russell Brown Part 1 and Part 2 here on RU-vid and his book by the same name. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yDoauHaOfBQ.html
I use a makeshift pastry bag to lay down the filleting mixture... by makeshift I mean.. use a plastic food storage bag filled with the mixture and cut off one corner.. the angle of the cut depends on the amount of material I want to lay into the joint. squeeze it out at a constant rate.
Wharram Designs should send CNC files for the bigger boat construction plans, that would be much easier instead of measuring the boards before the cutting.
