Gotta love the Asian countries, none of this nanny state nonsense from government. Imagine here in Australia having 3 dudes riding on a hull and trailer going under electrical cables down a busy road? My god it would make the news, it would be a big deal. Asian countries they don't bat an eye lid, god i love that attitude
"verses"...really? It's James' design, not yours, not Seascapes. If James had not lived this Tiki would never have been built. I'll grant that you build good, or even great boats but don't kid yourself that this is "verses" anything.
@@seascapeasia7814 I did not ask a question. I made a statement. You are correct, if you had not lived *that* boat would not have been built. But if James had not lived you would not have built it either. Instead you may have built a toaster, or a building, or a road, or even a wonderful ship but you would not have built *that* boat. My problem is not with the boat that was built or who built it - I am sure it is a good or even a great boat.. My problem is your "verses" nonsense.
@@joelvoss1226 ...Really?...like...seriously...! The fundamental difference is James draws plans, I build boats, many boats. I build boats since I was 7. I build them better, stronger and faster than what I see on the plans. I modified most of it, like Diesel-hydraulic drives, built in fuel tanks that provide a range of 1000 plus Nautical miles. sheer line, bulkhead dimensions, layout of interior, hull shape to accommodate the extra weight, less draft, wider keel sections, rudder shape, deck cabin(s), sail plan, mast construction and shape, (my masts don`t wobble), sheeting and halyard arrangements, electric and plumbing installations, sturdy stern ramp that works, Cockpit and deck boxes for engines are all re-designed to take the loads, beams are reinforced with Carbon fiber, ...etc. none of which I can find on his beautiful plans. If James or any other designer can not live with that improvements and don`t accept my input to make his designs more seaworthy, then it is called Versus. Just remember for your future comments, we are Sea people...are you?
@@seascapeasia7814 Yes, really and yes...seriously. I don't doubt you build with diesel-hydraulic drives or build with larger fuel tanks, add this and add that and use this material or that material. You could build them out of stainless steel or aluminium or carbon fiber and mount rockets on them...so what? You keep defending your boats, why? No one is criticizing them. You want to add the expense of those drives and carbon fiber and the weight of the fuel...knock yourself out. I'm sure some people want that. *But your improvements are not improvements to everybody.* I have sailed dinghys as a child, later a 26 foot monohull, a 35 foot catamaran and a 51 foot Wharram which was the most bare-bones boat (over 30 foot) ever. I would not want those diesel drives nor the huge fuel tanks nor the less draft (because I don't want to need a daggerboard to help point) nor the extra weight, etc, etc, etc. I had no problem with mast-wobbling and the stern ramp worked fine. Your build quality aside, you took James' design and made major mods per your post above and you know those big changes are not the direction he wanted to go so you can't blame him for not wanting to deal with you. No big deal, every boat is designed on compromises and no one can say either design is "the best" for every sailor in every sea and every sea state. Build the boats you and your clients want! I am not likely the sea person you are, so what? I have no need to remember that. You argue about things nobody is arguing with you about.
@@joelvoss1226 You sound exactly like Hanneke. You know, sometimes, Joel, you have to experience what you don`t want in life to gain a full understanding of what you do want.
Love your vid both boats are glassing along nicely well done .....p.s what was the music in the back ground ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ha4bYmePMXQ.html
Well done does the ship builder yard there build these Wharram or is this just a DIY one off for personel use .Lovely well made example of the larger types Wharram ball park how much to make this size example
@@seascapeasia1382 - Could you expound on this a bit? I've been looking at Wharram catamarans for years, and I really enjoy most of the design, but there are a few things I'd change myself. What did you do to "improve" the design? Are the improvements aesthetic or performance related?
