About me or us?
Erica and I are interested in the world around us. We teach hands on skills and appropriate tech together; been married 5 years, working on additional members of our family. Erica is the brains and I am the brawn (she lets me say that). We are planning to build A Tehini with a few mods for us and our friends and future family. We are owned by one cat who lets us pet him, figure another cat wouldn't go amiss.

I have built several boats and been a sailor for much of my life, Erica has been a science teacher in a museum.. told ya she's the brains.
Looking to?
build A Tehini; I'd better since i asked the mill to start cutting the wood for it.

    Hello Ernie

    The automatic translators are very difficult to understand. By example, camelote in common French means cheap, poor quality!!!!

    You can have details concerning my Tiki46 building on the blog :

    At first you have to know where will be implanted the masts in the hulls in order to change the accommodations. My masts will be behind the second beam but by example on the Tiki46 Apatiki rigged with classical junk rigs the masts are in front of the second beams.

    Here is a general view of PHA# accomodations :

    Hi there!

    Re:  Errors

    On the Tehini plans, there is the original lines drawing, as well as the booklet with the updates.  The booklet lines drawing shows the location of the centerboards, etc, as well as the new sheerline.   This is to give more headroom in the areas of the fore and aft single bunks. 

    Comparing the widths in the original plan and the updated plan, note they are the same.  The side view of the lines drawing has new vertical measurements, e.g. 3' 10 1/2" from the waterline on the update vs. 3' 9" or so on the original. 

    When I lofted with the updated measurements, the result looked wrong.  What seemed to work better was to draw the entire boat w/ the original measurements, and expand the sheerline from there.  This is easy since the sides of the hull are a straight V.

    Let me know if this makes sense.
