    Oh my God! I'm going to delete it. I have not been able to get a photo in the profile box. Each time I did it I had to delete it. My son said he would do it and I didn't know it was there so big.Thanks, Kim, for the compliment. I like the colour-coordinated photo as a friend took it recently walking to the waterfall when we sailed to Great Barrier Island (on a monohull). But not that big!!!

    Hi Kim,

    Thanks for the message. Seems like I'm slowly getting the hang of this Wharram site..........this rainy UK weather certainly helps!!

    Great to see you have the Wave dancer vid featured - I found it about 2 weeks ago and have been drooling over it ever since. Just poetry in motion!!

    Been out sailing much lately?? Love seeing all the smart new mod-cons you add to Vaea. can I ask the meaning of her name??

    Cheers

    Rory

    Hey you didn't happen to save any pics of Gerald Winkler's tiki 26 deck tent did you? They've pulled the site down and finding any info on deck tents has been a real pain. I'm having one custom built for Element and I really liked alot of the ideas from that tent... Thanks!

    Kim I do not know where I read it on the interwebs but somewhere it said that these blocks should not be used at a height?

    Hey Kim, I have been looking at your double mainsheet arrangement again. Interested to know how the set up has worked for you ? Also can you possibly let me know how i could have the same system as yours but cheaper?
