    hallo glenn,

     finaly you made it onto this platform but you are still in pohnpei... i would perfer to see you on a anchorage in the philippines and not on this forum. how is it going wtis the boat??? and you of course. what are the plans?

    did you sail since we meet last time?

    we just ordered new sails (from LEE sails) and getting ready to cross the india ocean. after 6 month philippines we sailed down to langkawie. very boring sailing here and you will have not much fun without an engine. a lot of thinks changed too. not much space left for people like you and us..

     all the best

    Welcome Glenn and thanks for the photos, any chance you could find the time to post a few on our "Small Pahi" group ? seem to be very few sailors with experience of this boat out there...

    Hello, I have been wondering about the narrow beam of the Tama Moana vs the appx standard of 1/2 LOA as the beam size. I have noticed the Tama is more like 40% instead. How has this narrower beam affected the vessels stability in large seas?
    Thanks,
    Tom Vogt

    Also 1 other question. Was there a particular reason why the Tama Moana design was strip planked as opposed to marine ply?
