Refitting/finishing a wharram Tiki 46 - what should I fiberglass

Hi fellow Wharram Friends,

It removed the heavy building base structure out of the cycle; the fixed backbone and bulkhead structure could be stood up on any type of floor and squared up with a string through the centreline. The bulkheads would be leveled with wedges to the floor.…
