"Sailing Tsunamichaser for the last 13 years along with a Tiki 21, a Hitia 17, and a Pahi 26 plus crossing from San Francisco to Hilo Hawaii on Beat Rettenmund’s Aluna has taught me one thing. Paying attention to sail trim, where lines run to…"

Hey, I left a message for Scott Viers as well; I'm an aspiring Tiki builder in Vancouver BC, looking to stop by, either on March 3 or March 10 in Seattle. If you're up to it, I'd like to come see Tsunamichaser. Let me know if that might work somehow. -- justobella@hotmail.com
