Bulwark replacement and rudder conversion
2 Replies
The bulwarks on my Hinemoa are in need of replacement. As part of the reason they rotted out was due to the screws holding them on, I would like to replace without screws. Just a flexible adhesive. I…Continue

"The smaller your boat the bigger your adventure !"
"Yeah, I’m with you on the small vessel sentiment. I bought the plans for a Tiki 26, but I bailed out and have gone back and finally begun building the Hinemoa like I planned years earlier. The length (possibly years) of a Tiki 26…"
"I'd part with my Tiki30, Honolulu, Hawaii."
"Not building, I'm reftitting. Too lazy to build anything bigger than a dinghy.
I don't think most people would find the tiki30 too big, more likely too small. I'm a dinghy sailor at heart."
"Okie dokie Levi, you are on. I'm buying!
Coincidentally, we love Hawaii and spent 18 months there in 2014 / 2015 while passing through on our big boat. Also celebrated 2019 Christmas there (Big Island) for 3 weeks. Just…"
"Andy,
I am back in Hawaii. Working away on a Tiki 30. Realizing its way more boat than I need/want. Wish I was still in QLD. Somewhere down the line I'll take you up on a coffee.
enjoy"
"Wow, what a story. Thanks for sharing. Are you still in QLD? I'm currently located in Airlie Beach. Would love to buy you a coffee one morning, and talk Wharrams!"
"Using a boom will give a much better sail shape as you can get good foot tension. Off the wind it is a necessity for decent sail shape.. at the moment my Tiki30 has a piece of bamboo, approx. 35mm diameter.
Double mainsheet is great to help…"
"I have a few questions on the rope/side lashings. My tiki30 has the webbing connection, which is absolute rubbish. Holes in deck that get pulled on cause leaks. I converted my Hinemoa to rope lashings, and she became a much better boat.
I want to do…"
"Wish you guys were buying the sticks nearer to me. I'm in Hawaii so not an option.
Currently replacing about 1m on the head of my wood mast, on a tiki 30. Would so love to go Alu.
Curious how you will set up the mast heads on your new…"
"Glad to help. I usually don't have my phone on, so lets set a time to talk. Best time for me is 1900 to 2100 hours PST.

So you have a set of plans? And the Blue cover…"
"I had a look at my Tiki30 plans, They give no dimensions regarding the lashing holes. I may be missing a page though"
"I'll take a picture when I am down there tomorrow and include the dimensions. Cheers "
