Building Sliding Doghouses for a wharram pahi 31, and Mud. Sailing Yes Let's! E6 

Thank you!

neither did I! then I remembered that one of the reasons they are favored by cycle couriers is because they give you a lot of control in traffic. Takes a little while getting used to but really enjoying it!

thank you! yes indeed. I was a big fan ofMacGyver when I was a kid. Watched carefully so I knew what to do if I was ever in that situation. I rewatched it a bit recently! pretty funny! his ideas never fail, everything works first time. Some of them would really work others completely ridiculous!

thanks! this was a quick improvisation to get some plywood to my boat. Thinking about a better one that can fold down so it's easier to transport on a boat

thank you Bobby! I've been trying to get better so I really appreciate that!

haha wow that thing feels hazardous enough when it's balanced! I would like to see this!

btw, built a new proa! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EdEAhlnCRko.html

thank you! I really like the minimalist aesthetics of the wharram, so this is as far as I am intending to go, with regards to deck pods. Although, I have set up a dome tent in front of the mast and also have a large rain tent that covers the entire central deck area

oh it's so nice to be able to park up like this! before this boat I had a raven 26. 1.5m draft, tipped over at 45 degrees if you "parked" it like this. On a deep boat like that, you can never really relax. Always gotta be ready to move to a different anchorage. And when you are near a town it's usually a bit rolly. But if you can dry out like this generally put the boat some place that will be sheltered in many conditions and just relax... or do some building projects!

@@dominictarrsailing For sure!

hmm sounds interesting. It would be great to be rid of the screws (rot risk) on the other windows) what glue specifically? glue over the paint? is the paint stronger than the wood?

thank you!

I dont know anyone who calls those clutches. Clutches are the ones with the lever, where you release the lever and it goes

the prototype pahi is 35, it's actually for sale... www.inautia.com/used-boat-73676110191655536570696669534567.html (please chainsaw off that bridgedeck cabin!)

oh hang on, maybe it sold, was listed for a while

It can be a bitch to tack, sometimes it would be easier to shunt! you have to back the jib, but sometimes just getting the bow that high doesn't work and you have to try again or gybe. gybing never fails! but I did successfully tack up an channel at the start of the outgoing tide the other day. I think it's the flat rocker that makes it hard, flatter than a tiki, didn't think about the bows, same windage at the stern so I think that would balance it. Havn't sailed on a tiki so not sure how different. One time when it was really blowing, big hills and huge gusts, reefed down, I tacked by oversheeting the main past the center, let a gust blow the stern around, that worked.

@@dominictarrsailing Been on a Tiki 38 a few times, tacks no problem, backing the Jib helps, but tacked almost like a mono anyway... Sheeting the main the wrong way is a great idea! Enjoy summer bro.......

hahaha well I'm sure you can figure it out if you study the satellite view for where might be a good place to park a shallow draft boat in nelson ;)

yes on rails. unfortunately I lost the footage for that bit... Yes the cargo bay still opens but only with the dog house in the closed position.

thanks! it's a lot of work to edit the videos but I'm slowly getting better at it.

please do! I'm still around here... oyster island currently

update: anchored at adel island, that's near you, right?

update: motueka...

No I really appreciate mud! without mud I wouldn't be able to anchor effectively!!! that would make the boat life a lot more difficult!
