Why not a Tiki 42?

It seems like there would be an appetite for a Tiki of this size. Has anyone heard of an approved plan alteration to extend the Tiki 38 (or reduce the 46)? It's just something I've been pondering. I've only ever been aboard a Tiki 38, and it was just a quick look. It seems like a 110% increase in dimensions would be a welcome addition to internal hull space and overall capacity. Having not looked at plans for either 38 or 46, the reasoning could be significant labor time due to standard ply…See More

"Wade, I doubt it, as most Okinawans tend to hang on to things until they no longer hold value. The design painted on the sides are the same as a tour boat company that operates out of the same port, so it may still belong to the company, rather than…"

"I decided to modify the lofting slightly. The sheet 3 diagram is 1:10. I drew the bow to the centerline 10mm forward of the station line. The plans indicate the bow approaches the centerline 1mm forward of the station line."

"Simon, Thanks for the suggestion; it makes more sense! I have looked at a few builders' blogs and the photos show about 50/50 for either method. I do think leaving an angle will also make it easier to taper the leading edge down a bit,…"

"Hi Nathan, I'm building a Melanesia too. I have cut out the pieces but not yet glued them together. I made that cut without a radius - without actually having considered the idea of a radius in fact. As I haven't yet started the assembly…"

Melanesia plans question

Hi All,I'm wondering if anyone can clarify: Should the bow end of the bottom panels have a radius in the indicated area, or be cut to an angle such as the side panels (clearly an angle at the station line)? The plans do not indicate one way or the other, and the detail of the area is just small enough to be unclear. TIA!NateSee More

"I see the bottom paint is different... Is it still silicone-based, or did you switch to a biocide? How long did the silicone bottom paint last and how did it perform? Cheers Nathan"

"Any luck finding marine plywood in Oki yet? I'm also looking to build a Hitia 14, but I haven't bought plans yet since it's tough to find the materials here. Make-man only has so much! "
