"There still is an obsession with capsize and multihulls.  In reality capsizes usually involve racing and pushing to the limits, or Sh_t Happens situations like yours.  Thanks for the story!   It reminds me of a 40' (12M)…"

"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…"

"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."

Levi Verwoest replied to Éric Bouvéron's discussion Enjoy the boat, enjoy the food, but my sailing skills...
"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…"

Levi Verwoest replied to john james's discussion Strap VS Rope Lashing in the group TIKI 30
"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…"
