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..
I am an owner of a restored Tiki 26 and now looking for a bigger project that my Girlfriend and I can restore and love and live aboard and travel. Anyone know of anything? Living in Alderney-Channel Islands UK but happy any ideas as far as the Med
to many wharrams rest in a boatyard
