<p>That's a good looking boat you have. Been thinking of a forward beam, but have a bit of rot to sort out first.</p>
<p>Any chance you could send me the dimensions of the lashing blocks on the hull?</p>

<p>Well I bought the boat.</p>
<p>Other than ease of assembly I am not too happy with the webbing and bolt assembly.</p>
<p>You end up with sharp bits to catch line on. The tension of the beams is transmitted to through deck bolts, which have leaked and caused rot already. Also the whole contraption loosened up after only three days underway. And that was in sub 10kts of wind, with Nylocks. Never seen Nylocks back off before.</p>

<p>Other than that deficiency Wow, so much more space…</p>

<p>Other than that deficiency Wow, so much more space than my Hinemoa. It's going to be hard to not have tons of crap aboard.</p>

<p>I have the plans and they spec these webbing/bolt arrangement. Would anybody share some photos and dimensions of the lash on system? I assume I will have to lengthen the beams by several inches, or narrow the boat by same.</p> The straps and buckles worked…tag:wharrambuilders.ning.com,2019-10-31:2195841:Comment:1700042019-10-31T20:51:20.799ZArthur Gottschalkhttps://wharrambuilders.ning.com/profile/ArthurGottschalk
<p>The straps and buckles worked perfectly on my Tiki 30. I imagine that they are much easier to work with than lashings. </p>

The straps with buckles are the original Tiki 30 beam connection design. The option for rope lashings were added to the plans later.
