thank you for friend ship , yes the Tikiroa is nice boat , i like it because it is perfect size, very simple, and Polynesian look . I dont know if Hanneke has improved the plan since the first one . I bought mine and i am refourbishing it . New hatches , new tiki rig ... yesterday a 5mn storm put one hull down in the garden , big fear and no damages OUPS !

Hi Rod,
did you go with Günther Nutt? He seems the far better choice than Andy Smith and here does not seem any trouble with the boats he built, he also seems to have a way better understanding how and which wood to use.
The containers for the Tiki hulls are 40 foot high cube, the cockpit shipped seperately and was packaged in a crate (which was actually pretty well made by the builder).
There would be quite a few modifications I would recommend on the build: aluminium masts, different mast foot design, cockpit roof, lowered cockpit floor on a slight slant to prevent water standing in the cockpit, lockers besides the cockpit....
I hope this helps a bit
