Bulwarks

Inside the Tanenui.

To all the Tanenui owners out there, I’m looking at this design right now and while I’d like to build at this stage I’m just biding my time and seeing what’s on the used market. I have the study…Continue

"Bert; If your going to build one as a test are you then going to on sell it ? If so then a more popular and simpler design like a Tiki 21 might be better ?"

"Hey Ian, My name is Reuben and I’m in Perth Australia. I’m looking at Tikis and wondering about that wing sail, I crew on a Corsair tri and we have all sort of adjustments to sail shape, halyard, outhauls, Cunningham, mast rotation…"

"PS I have done reasonably long voyages (e.g. round Britain, Canary Islands), but then I had an Athena 38 with all the benefits (H&C pressure water, showers, fridge freezer, standing headroom, etc.) of a modern large(ish) cruising cat. It was…"

"On my Hinemoa I have bulwarks, since I won't be doing long voyages and space is not an issue. So safety rules. If like T F Jones I was going on long voyages in a Hinemoa and space was at a premium then I would certainly build up the centre…"

Richard Flegg replied to Reuben Filsell's discussion Bulwarks
"Sorry to hear about your bulwark rot problem If there is that much rot in the bulwarks, maybe you should have a good look at the beam mountings too. My Hinemoa is brand new (launch held up by Covid 19 lockdown) and all made from marine ply so I am…"

Kai Piatscheck replied to Reuben Filsell's discussion Bulwarks
"Ok on my Narai mk4 over 30% of Bulwarks have rot and to remove them and rebuild them would be a hellish amount of work as they are glued (epoxy) on to the hull so i think i will cut them off. bummer as i did like the look,"

Richard Flegg replied to Reuben Filsell's discussion Bulwarks
"I like the idea of bulwarks. If there are no guard rails I don't feel safe with just a toe rail, so I put them in the highly desirable category. The counter argument is that for no more weight one could have more interior space and they could…"

Reuben Filsell replied to Éric Bouvéron's discussion Enjoy the boat, enjoy the food, but my sailing skills...
"Levi, questions; What sail shape adjustments are possible with the stock windsail ? What sail adjustments would be desirable ? Does the stock sail have a shape other than the mast sock or is it just a flat panel ? Cheers, RR"

Reuben Filsell replied to Matthew Harrison's discussion Tiki 26 for sale in Connecticut
"Hi Mathew,  I’m assuming this was an epoxy build, in doing the repairs have you been able to ascertain how the rot occurred ? Where was the majority of the rot and how do you think it got a hold ?"
