I have a question for the huddled masses yearning to be free, or perhaps it's better addressed to those who have already built their boats and are free. Whichever. If you have what you think is the…Continue

Paying to crew on someone else's boat?
5 Replies

This came up recently in an all too brief discussion I had with a poster on this forum, who had been looking for crew for a Transatlantic crossing. I was surprised when told that as crew, apart from…Continue

I have come to the sad place where I have to divide assets and move on. One of these is my 3/4 complete Tiki 38. I am trying to find any references to similar Wharram incomplete projects for sale,…Continue

Build help wanted

I'm in New Mexico, finishing up a Tiki 38. The plan is to launch next year.  I built the bulk of the boat on my own but I am at a place where I need an additional pair or two of hands and am hoping to find someone who is interested in Wharram's who wants to help and learn for a few days or even weeks.I will provide room and board and a stipend, you'll get to see what it's like to work on a project like this. If a building-for-sailing time trade is interesting, that's open for discussion…See More

"Look up "Keeney 3.5 inch strainer basket" for kitchen sinks. They screw down and cost $14. The blue big box hardware store carries them. P traps are designed to keep out sewer gas."

Sink drains

I have a question for the huddled masses yearning to be free, or perhaps it's better addressed to those who have already built their boats and are free. Whichever. If you have what you think is the right answer, please share it.In my layout, I am limiting through-hulls to a single salt water intake for the galley and head. I will have 3, perhaps 4 sinks. I intend to route them straight to holes in the hull. I prefer a straight shot in whatever configuration to limit clogging and make it easy to…See More

"In addition to potential legal problems in the country where you are operating, my understanding is you can be charged with offences by your flag state, where the boat is registered. For most most ordinary folk that will be their home country.…"

"Interesting details about the Cheeky Rafiki. Very sad story. I assume the criminal case is against the owners for negligence? I had not yet really considered the liability aspect of charging people to work for you. It must give you responsibility…"

Great pictures of your pod. Yes its heavy. With 6 guys (strong) I could manipulate it up and down without crane or loader.
Interesting the reverse thing, i was thinking doing the same and finally stuck to the plans.
Beautiful job.
