<p>Sounds like you have things sorted then, but not so sure about your sister (I mean regarding them building a Tiki 26 for a family of 7!!!) Of course it'll make a great day boat, but you have big waves in your part of the worlld ;-). I have 3 kids now 15, 12 & 10, and they grow fast, so her 4 year old will be maybe 6-7 at least before the boat hits the water. So soon it won't be 2 adults + 5 kids, but 2 adults, 3 teenagers, 2 kids......of course depending on their plans for sailing. So…</p>

And then there's always friends and kids' friends who want to come along too! (& dogs ;-))</p>

<p>Well..... Now that you mention it. Lol</p>
<p>I got the Tiki 26 study plans today. Then realized there are two berths per hull instead of just one as I had misunderstood before.</p>
<p>That coupled with my sister and her husband being very interested in sailing also now. They live a mile from me & Shelly (my sister) are close & they have 5 kids 4 to 13 years old, they will be going with me a lot.</p>
<p>Shelly wants to build a Tiki 26 now also soon as the finish the house they are…</p>

<p>So I'm going to start mine before long here, they will come help me build mine then when their ready I'll help them. My bro inlaw has been a contractor for long time too. Plus Shelly can build & read plans & such with the best of them.</p>
<p>It should work out pretty nice if we both build the same model boat since the learning curve from building mine will help them. I'm sure they'll get their plans & start before mine if finished. </p>

<p>Hi Allen - welcome! Great that you've found the Wharram community and the boats. I know that everyone has their own ideas as to which Wharram is the best for them, but I'm wondering why you want to build a Hinemoa now in 2015? The design is very old now compared to the Tiki range. Tikis were designed specifically for building with epoxy laminate, whereas the older Classic designs were not - even though of course they can be built successfully with contemporary techniques! I am no expert on…</p>

I am no expert on the Tikis but I suspect it might be cheaper and quicker to build one compared to a Hinemoa....? Have you compared the materials lists? (or does anyone else know?)</p>
<p>Best of luck with your project anyway!</p>
