"It´s a wonderful, interesting and inspiring book. The only disadvantage: it´s too heavy to read in bed ;-) Michael"

"I’m half ways through reading and can’t put it down. Fantastic tales, history being made and consideration of the world in which we live and how to live it on a different path... loving it!"

People of the Sea. James Wharram and Hanneke's new book.

I have just bought my copy of this book which has been awaited for with great anticipation for some time.  I thoroughly recommend it. Excellent photographs and diagrams and a fascinating insight into the life of James Wharram, Jutta, Ruth and Hanneke and all involved in the Wharram Catamaran World.James is certainly a pioneer and has enabled such a huge number of people to be able to safely enjoy both coastal and ocean catamaran sailing.Don BrazierNarai IV.

Good Day,

How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( mrsstellakhalil5888@gmail.com ) for the full details.

Have a nice day

Thanks God bless

Stella.

Hello Don, I was just too quick to add a personal message when I requested your "friendship". So, I'm adding one here. :-)
Building a Narai Mk IV myself (actually continuing a the build of an italian guy) I would like to ask a brief question. I read through your Katipo voyage post and found the passage I was hoping to find: you mentioned that you added another 2 ft 7 in to the crossbeams. And hulls do look a lot wider apart.
I am considering something similar to allow for a deck pod with a little more space but would like to know if you increased the height of your crossbeams as well (which I assume), and if so by how much? Did you calculate it (which I assume just as much)?

Best wishes from Croatia,
Fabian
