Building small boats. The Wharram Tiki 21, One Another is the 23rd boat that Kathie and I have built so far. We will continue to publish videos on sailing our boats, building a few more, tips that make building easier for us. We do not pretend to be experts on all of the various steps required to build a boat, just what works for us. Use or not, the decision is the viewers responsibility. Boat building can be a dangerous activity, there are chemicals and sharp tools that will hurt you if not used properly and in a safe manner. It is always your responsibility to work safely. Enjoy.
We have a shallow draft Corsair F24mkII trimaran sailboat which we camp with. I want to research sailing from pensacola to tampa, but I just cannot seem to find info. Our plans are for staying close to shore which is a different route than most Great Loopers. I need tips and warnings for my trip planning. Anyone know of a good resource?
Thanks, we sold this several year and have lost track of it since. I know it was sold by the individual who bought it from us. Appreciate you watching.
Very cool interesting boat, but the one thing I dislike is the engine placement.. It just looks bad. Is there another way to put an engine on there? I'm thinking an electric engine placed somewhere inside.
Since it is a double ender a motor well would make it difficult to enter the cockpit from the rear deck and there are steering cables ;under the deck. Being a sharpie, shallow draft is important and there would not be a way to raise the motor under sail.and when approaching a shore to beach the boat. All boats are compromises, thanks for watching and commenting.
Another way to get the hull fair is to use a high build primer paint. Do 1 coat.sand and ygen you will quickly see the low and high patches. Then paint the high build on the low patches etc.
Check out our Episode 26, this link, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U_NFPiPOL90.html It is a slideshow of our time sheet up to that point, with costs and time spent. You will have to pause video at each page to read but better than nothing. Thanks for watching.
Hey Mr and Mrs Payne, I have really enjoyed your series on this build. I have been wondering how you were getting along and found out that i hadn't been notified of the most recent two films. I have owned various beach catamarans and can empathise that with two people it is hard raising an aluminium mast and we normally have three or four people to raise and drop masts on hobie 16 and formula 18 cats. You are most impressive with your skill sets and ingenuity and the style in which you present. I hope you are both well and have been enjoying some champagne sailing.
Kevin, thanks for watching and commenting. Really do appreciate when people let us know that they are enjoying our videos. We haven't made any videos or progress on the boat since the mast series. We stopped because we had some health issues. We are ready to start work soon. Wish we had been out sailing. We are looking forward to getting back at it. Thanks, best to you, Rex and Kathie.
We have no experience with Coosa board other than seeing it advertised on line. Price was the reason we did not pursue researching it further. We have a limited budget and can't answer what others choices are. Thanks for watching.
I am so inspired. You both did an amazing job with your build. By any chance did you keep track of your work hours? I am wondering about how many hours it really takes to build a tiki 21.
We are probably slower than most builders. We do not work 8 hours days, most sessions are 2 to 3 hours so there is a lot of setup and teardown time. We are right at 1500 hours but most will be quicker. Plus we made a few mistakes you don't have to make. Thanks for watching, looking forward to watching your build.
i followed your example turning Phambili's hull recently. Chain blocks for lifting and truckers load straps for sliding it over. Worked a treat! Thank you.
We watched your video, yes it goes very easily. You were working with considerably more weight than us and you got it turned with no stress. Well done.
Sad to say but we haven't completed any work on the boat since the last video. We both had some medical issues that has kept us from either sailing or working in the shop. Hoping to get back to it here in the next few weeks. Appreciate your inquiry , we are enjoying your progress.
Did you build the stems twice? I'm waiting for my plans exciting. Beautiful boat great work. I'm going to laminate the stems on the boat also. Good idea
No, just once. there is an inner stem that you plank to and once planked add the outer stem. Thanks for watching. Looking forward to following your build.
Thanks , the West Coast Trailer Sailing Squadron goes to Cedar Key the first full weekend of May and , Nov 10-12 one week away. There is significant damage to a lot of the facilities this year due to storm surge from hurricane Idalia. Kathie and I will only be going up for a day this year.
Dominic, you know how that is, don't set a date and stress yourself out. We always wait to launch when it's done. Ran into several unexpected issues that stopped all work. We hope to be getting it all together again.....sometime soon or maybe a little later. Thanks for watching enjoying all of your videos, like the proa but think I need amas on both sides to keep me upright. Best to you.
@@RexandKathie patiently waiting for the age when I am patient enough for that! Two amas makes it a trimaran! I think if you want the real proa feeling you can't have two amas. Though a lee pod or safety ama that doesn't normally touch the water would be okay. One thing I really like about proas is that it's really designed to sail along at the edge, but in a way that is much safer than taking a cat or tri to the edge.
Love your boat and videos, anxious to see your next video. Your documentation is really helpful for those of us about to also build a tiki 21, thanks for doing it.
Glad you are enjoying the videos, we intend to get back to publishing more videos sometime here in the near future, life gets in the way occasionally, thanks for watching.

Great vid! So nice to fiberglass a flat horizontal surface, not much of that in boatbuilding. :) By the way, what type of roller were you using? I wasn't sure if it was a standard foam roller or something Thanks.

get a board and 1" dowel. cut the dowel in two, so you have two pieces, drill the boar to put the dowel pieces inside the belt sander handle, and to hold the front horn. now you have a stationary sander. sorry I vcan't draw a picture, but it's not hard to figure out.
This may sound weird, but I use a 32oz waffle head framing hammer to drive the bronze nails. it works out well enough if you choke up on the handle. you two do good work. it's a joy to see.
Well done. I used to raise my T21 mast on my own with a gin pole in a similar configuration. I used to stand on the deck and steady the mast on my shoulder whilst pulling the block and tackle to the front bridle. I had a line from the mast base to the rear beam to prevent the mast base moving forward. It was a struggle first time but after a while, I had a system that I was confident with. You've built a lovely boat.
Hope to improve it when we get back to work. Kathie had a knee replaced, her second during this project. I have been dealing with vertigo so not much getting done lately
I like this method especially if you don't have a lot of time time to spend in the shop to get multiple strips on and the unblemished wood does look so much better. Thanks for watching.
