<div>After thinking about it, I asked myself if it is possible to use an aluminum mast on a Wharram wing sail Design, as the constant movement would not be good for the aluminum. What are your thoughts bout it?</div> zipper on tiki38 mainsailtag:wharrambuilders.ning.com,2020-01-07:2195841:Topic:1708072020-01-07T23:49:35.021Zgeorge schietingerhttps://wharrambuilders.ning.com/profile/georgeschietinger
<p>There is 1 zipper on the tiki38 mainsail and there is no need to unzip it when lowering the sail? Is this correct? </p>

<p><span>Hi, the study plan for Tiki 38 specifies plywood thickness of 9mm for the hulls. Is this (+cloth+epoxy) the final hull thickness? Or is one supposed to glue two layers of plywood? If not, is this enough for a relevant puncture resistance?</span></p>
<p></p>

<p>my Tiki 38 lifted this week. Planning to move her by road on a flatbed trailer next week one hull at a time. Any advice as how to secure the hull on the trailer? I do not have cradles, planning to let hull stand on keel using big straps to secure upringht from beam attachment points. </p>
<p>Any better ideas or advice?.. need to move her 800 km by road.</p>

Hi, I am very interest in the 38 or 46. I like what boatsmith did with the Ariki deck. Would it be possible to remove the deck pod and have a large roof like this? Is is practical on a tiki? What problems do you see? Also, I would like to raise to cabin roofs a bit by building storage on top. Would this idea work? Would these ideas get in the way of handling during sail or docking?

<p>Hi all, I found my 9.9hp outboards were getting a lot of water around them, and it was always finding its way inside the covers, which is obviously a worry. I've tightened the covers down, and tried lifting the pods, but the props come out of the water too easily, so I've lowered them back down, thinking about adding some ply fins to protect them. Anybody got any advise on this? </p>
<p>Many thanks, Norm </p>

<p>Hi everybody, just a couple of pics that might be of interest.</p>
<p>Previously, our anchor chain was stowed forward of the mast but we've added more chain for cruising, so we built a chain box alongside the mast-beam to carry the anchor chain/rode. It's a much bigger space, the weight is a bit further back, and it takes a bit of weight off the mast-beam. </p>
<p>You can see our new sprit pole in the same pic, with the new reacher set, as you can see in the GPS pic, giving us over 10knots…</p>

<p>You can see our new sprit pole in the same pic, with the new reacher set, as you can see in the GPS pic, giving us over 10knots in under 14knots of breeze! That whole day was spent romping along at 8-10knots, and we travelled more than 100nm in 12hrs, while crossing from the Philippines to Palau. When I came up for my watch at sunset that evening, the hulls were thrumming and we were doing over 11knots, so we decided we should maybe take the reacher down for the night ;-) </p>
<p>PS We've started using gaff vangs as per other discussions in the forum, and I agree they're very good. It's a hassle having 2more lines, but it keeps the gaffs off the stays when you're off the wind, which makes me feel happier that they're not being chaffed. </p>
<p>We'll be sailing from Palau to Raja Empat in Eastern Indonesia when the winds go Northerly, then on to Bali. I hope we can meet up with some other Wharrams along the way ;-) </p>
