    Claudio, cruzando el río hay varios tikis. Dos 21 seguro, uno en Piriápolis y el mio en 33.  Podes googlear "catamaran truco" un blog interesante.

    Mucha suerte y a la orden

    hola, estoy en la desembocadura del Cebollati cerca de laguna Merin al la espera de terminar asuntos burocráticos del barco. Me gustaría tener el cata "Tamatea" en la zona de Colonia, ya se verá. Todo es plata....

    Ya nos encontraremos por esos mares todos los tikis, arriba esa nueva construcción, suerte

    Hola. Las primera vela la hice con politrap o plastillera en forma de crab claw. Camina muy bien. Después conseguí unos viejos genoas y con una maquina singer hice velas mas parecidas a las del plano. Es mi berretin  experimentar velas raras.  En tu pais hay una veleria llamada Foxtrot, creo, que fabrica velas de politrap a muy buen precio. En BSAS hay un mercado gigante, en cambio en este rincón lejano hay que rebuscarse con lo que hay. Si encontras alguna buena solución vélica para el KEA avisame para copiarte. Abrazo

    Thank you for this forum and for this group - very timely for me and for my son who is taking over the helm on the Tiki 21 that I first launched in Canada in 1999. Here is a preview picture of #97, finally restored and waiting a few days ago to be carried down the to beach at Cape Three Points, Ghana, where my son will sail it out of his eco-lodge, www.escape3points.com. More pictures and details to follow after I get over the jet lag from my return to Canada.

    Hello people

    I am just arriving to Wharram world. Starting building a TIki 21. After sepent a week readind the plans, I am cutting drawing and cutting the bulkheads, and hulls panels for the first hull;

    I will need for help, a lot! There is the language barrier, I speek Portuguese, and the age,I am 67 years old.

    I am following the plans exacthy as it wrote in the plan's sheets. 

    In the design it is indicated to fasten the hull panel on the keel with wire loop.
    You need to drill the panel. Is this usual? There is no other method less
    laborious or invasive.

  • Rune M. Christensen

    I am not completely sure what you mean.  Are you referring to holes drilled in the hull panels used to tie the hull panels and the bulkheads together?

    If so, yes this is probably necessary. The holes will afterwards be cowered with the fillets, or you can fill them with thickened epoxy. There will also be a layer of glass fiber on top.

    It seems strange to drill holes in the hull, but it’s really no problem.
