I don't understand. In bow is red and blue, in stern is yellow and blue?

Aaah yes Rogerio,first colour was ''safron'' but it looks more like mustard to me so for one week I drove myself crazy and then went back to the paint shop and got ''tangerine''which is more orange that I originally wanted,as an ex full time artist color is very important to me,and I knew i would not be happy until I got it right.I hope the hippie chicks find it groovy too.ps your latest video is amazing stuff to watch.

how you say?abrigado???

Obrigado...yes.

The choice of colors is much personal choice, TikiRio is one boat of tree owners, so the color choice is more dificult between us . but this is the color.

Post some pics after paint end...

Hi Paul I just received the self steering plans from J Wharram. Can I ask you how the stet up is working for your boat any deviations from the plans? I noticed the bottom of your trim tab is curved to follow the rounded shape of the rudder...did this work out for you? Cheers

Hey Patrick, as soon as I get her in the water I will let you know. I have changed a few things since my build started.The rear beam has been replaced with an alu pole etc.

Ok Paul. If I have it installed soon I will let you know how it works out. Thinking to weld trim tab up out of stainless steel.
