Lake Taupo is her new home.
Looking to?

Welcome Jay. The T21 is a great boat. You will have many hours of fun sailing her. We visit Taupo occassionally and will give you a shout when we're there. Cheers - Carl

Hi Carl, thanks.

I had seen somewhere here comments about your trailer.

I think you have sold your Wharram now. Do you have a plan for the extendable trailer you had?

We are looking to have a trailer we can build the tiki on and then float it off from; this will also enable long term storage at Tokaanu in the fenced areas. But still want to be able to pack it up and take it to hauraki Gulf and Bay of Islands.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

jay

I take the top of a surf mast for my bowsprit and use it for an asymetrical cut spi and for a reacher
