As we sail in the English Channel we are quite keen on making ourselves visible to commercial shipping!!! Passive radar reflectors do not seem to be particularly effective and our systems will not provide enough power for radar (plus it is expensi...

ah yes, i see. it was suggested that we should build the top laminate of beam 5 wider to accomodate a traveller. it would need reinforcing for sure to take the loads.

Hi, Cliff took those photos and was kind enough to post them for us on this site. I think you are referring to the way Nev attached our foremain sheet track to the station #5 crossbeam which is just in front of the pod. Having a boom, and a track ...

Deck tent

Bonjour à tous!
I have to let go a Jeckell's deck tent fitted for my Tiki 28 in thick cotton cloth good state. But It may be used on other wharram cats. The tent is 3m by 4 and once put up allows for over 2m head room in the cockpit. I am afraid I already recycled all the inox rod bars of the tent for other projects.
There is a rear face that can be rolled up with zippers, and a clear plastic window.
I could trade it for a working portable PC or portable VHF, or let it go for under 300 euros.
Th… Continue

Tiki 30 centre section available

We have replaced our Tiki 30 open cockpit with a pod. We still have the old centre section, which is in good repair, and if anyone wants it and is willing to collect it from East Yorkshire UK please get in touch.

Sailing with "PHA" Tiki 30 n°119

We built our Tiki 30 "PHA"n°119 in Martinique (West Indies) in 3 years and since her launch under Belgium flag the 16th December 2004 we have a lot of sailing time.

PHA is not rigged with the conventional Wharram Tiki rig. Since a lot of years I wanted a rig very easy to handle and we built PHA to test an advanced free junk rig implant in each hull without shrouds. Each sail is in fact a double sail with wishbones inside to generate an asymmetric curved shape.

Have a view on the lines to handl… Continue

Building of the Tiki 30 n°119 "PHA"

I arrived at the beginning of March 2001 in the West Indies to work at the Martinique airport in the air traffic control.
At first I bought an old mono-hull Etap28 to enjoy sailing. After a few cruises with our 3 teenagers, the life on board is appeared to be very difficult on a such little boat. So I thought why not to build quickly in one year a Tiki 30 in order to test the advanced junk rig (Swing wing rig) I planed to put on each hull of my Tiki 46 under building in France.

In December I or… Continue

Building of the Tiki 46 n°2 "PHA#"

Since a few months I spent almost all my time 7 days on 7 to build our Tiki46 (we want to name now PHA#) until the 9-9-2009 when I broken my left arm in descending too quickly a ladder.
During this last month I stay completely disconnected from the building, using my time to read and to learn more about the Linux system on my laptop and net-book which is a marvelous alternative system to Windows based on the sharing and cooperation instead competition and domination.
Now I can reuse slightly my… Continue
