to many wharrams rest in a boatyard

41 members

Description

we spend the last 12 month sailing from the Philippines to Thailand. we meet a lot of wharrams on the way.... sadly, 80 % of all this boat are in pieces and resting on the hard.

we saw in thailand: 1 pahi 50, 2 tiki30+, 2 tiki46, 1 tiki21and in the Philippines 1 tiki38 out of order...

 we spoke to some (new) owners, the boats where not old, 5-7 years old but often for many month "out off order..."

what is it with this wharram community? do we like building, fixing, playing with new construction ideas  then sailing...? i find this quite depressing.

i hope you are not getting lost in details and will sail on the ocean soon..

    Anyone have a lead on a Wharram in need of loving? Preferably Tiki/Pahi 31 or maybe Tangaroa? Cheap ? Either US west coast or Australia eastcoast.
    Unfortunately I am looking to upgrade as my lady finds my Hinemoa a wee small

    Thanks

     Stop Wharrams from rotting so quickly build them out of Aluminum.    Aluminum rots so  much slower
