    Hello
    Thank you for your reply. We have been back and forth on the Tiki 38 vs the Tama Moana designs. While the latter is less expensive my wife has determined that she needs much more so without her input I would still be in limbo. So as I stated earlier we will build the tiki and do want to insure the optimum deck space ....sooo an unstayed mast/ Junk rig for safety is the perfect choice. Iam just unsure as to implementing this as I build... knowing the wharrams are not so thrilled with the idea of a biplane modification. Any advice would be helpful on mast size/height sail plan area and Ce(center of effort) in respects to CLR ... raked mast or plum? things like this.
    Thanks again
    Tom

    Bonjour Bertrand,

    je navigue sur internet depuis quelques jours pour trouver des infos sur le tiki 30. et à vrai dire mon anglais étant limité je suis bien contente de tomber sur toi, qui je pense est de plus une bonne personne pour me donner des conseils sur ce bateau!

    voilà j'ai la chance d'avoir depuis peu un tiki 30, bateau que l'on m'a cédé gratuitement, et oui il y a encore des gens généreux dans ce monde...

    il a été construit par des amateurs, avec un système de fixation des poutres par des sangles en inox. ce système ne plaisait pas au dernier proprio (trop de frottement) qui a décidé de résiner les poutres. le bateau n'a pas été testé avec cette nouvelle configuration, il est en haut mais pas de navigation effectuée.

    pour ma part, je me demande ce que cela vaut...et donc ai fait des recherches sur internet, qui disent que c'est plutôt une mauvaise idée.

    j'aimerais savoir ce que tu en penses.

    merci d'avance

    bon vent

    Hi Bertrand.
    Thanks for making contact.
    We are in the swing moorings at Williamstown. We live in Williamstown and have just bought Sarayu, but have no immediate plans for her. We will spend the next year getting to know her and doing some alterations.
    I would love to catch up and have a look at Grand Pha.
    I believe there is also a Pahi 42 in the bay, though I haven't seen her for some time.Regards,
    Dave English.
    How about we sail down to Geelong one weekend?
