- About me or us?
- I have owned three other wharrams in the past.
1st Wharram was 30" found it standing on blocks under the motor way flyover, there were homeless people living in the boat. It was a mess.
After a lot of hard work, I sold the boat b4 I it got to the water & then I moved to England.
The Wharram in England I found abandoned on the river Mercie, I bought it from the Yacht Club. Again I left the country b4 I could get it on the water.
Teheni, whick is now "match sticks" she rotted out & no chance for repair.
Now I own an Oro with center cockpit. - Looking to?
- Sail my new Oro - junk rigged to & live in the Phillipines.

I'm very intrigued with your single mast junk rig design..... I don't see anything in the photos about it other than the drawing Was it built? How does it work?
It is my intention to build or modify a cat to a single unstayed mast which will use the Aerojunk rig, similar to Pete Hill's latest rig on Oryx, which I heard he recently sold.
Talk as they say is cheap, and wanting to do something and actually doing it are considerably different.......I won't live long enough to do all the things I would like to do, and have reached the age where I need to prioritize....... a sailing cat is very near the top of the list...........
