it makes me sad, that all the stuff we post in/on this forum is never read by people using this nice information platform... so many questions are repeated but it is all here.... we flip through all the pages, look at pictures and if a question is coming up in my mind, i just ask...this is OK but many of us take the time and work to write about there experience...but did we look at it, did we resurge if the answer to our question is already here???NO??? maybe not really???i understand the…See More

Profile Information

I am:: I own a Wharram

What boat (s) are you building or do you own?: I owned IKA ROA, a 42 ft Narai Mk IV built in Sheffield and sailed out to New Zealand by a guy called Tim Whelan in the early 80's. I had it for 20 years. In July 2010 a storm blew it off it's mooring , out the harbour and onto Matakana Island where it lies wrecked covered by sand. I aim to but or build another within the next two years. Soul destroying thing to happen to any owner.

Country, City, and State?: Pukehina, Bay of Plenty, NZ

About me or us?: Have done a Tonga--Fiji--Vanuatu--New Caledonia--NZ trip in 1996 when I met James on Spirit of Gaia.
Sailed to Tonga in 2006. My wife and two stepchildren sailed with a friend and I up through the HAAPAI Group to Vava'u.My three sons and my daughter-in-law sailed it back to New Zealand. Now my eldest son, Hamish has purchased Hans Klaar's waka Ontong Java, renamed MAREVA, which I am helping to rebuild before it goes to Tonga later this year.
