Thanks Mark

Thanks for the post and so quick - less than a day!!!

The boat is ashore here at home in east Clare.

I am almost finished a major rebuild. I intend to launch in Ballyvaughan early summer 2011.

The major modification I made was to eliminate beams 2 and 4 and put in a new full length beam instead of the short mast support one. Much better support for mast also better deck/cockpit/cabin layout.

I have posted more details on the Wharram Forum in News and Pahi 31 .

When I launch I will take photos and post them that will be easier to understand perhaps.

Yes! Spirit yachts from Ipswich! Beautiful boat. Now I am working on a 147' Dubois Ketch with my Boyfriend. Sailed from Alaska to Patagonia....and across the Med. Now we are in Greece. Still dreaming of Wharrams though....saw one in Italy!

hi,

i am a swiss guy living in malaysia who is dreaming and planing to build a pahi 63. i will fly at  21th oct. to clark and will stay in the philippines for 1 week. hope there is a chance to meet you, to have a look at your pahi and you can give me some good advice for my project.

 

hope to meet soon

hello, malaysia is not getting cheaper and its hard to find good ply here and a change would suit me as well. i am thinking to move to the philippines or to indonesia, probably bali. i have a 11 year old son who needs a dissent school (international)as well.

i just read somewhere that the timber price increased by 25% beginning this year in the philippines, is that right? i know, it is a difficult question but what would be the approx. material cost of a pahi 63 in the philippines with out labour? i want to stick to the wharram plans keep it simple and functional. buy bulk and some west system or similar quality epoxy.

enjoy irland, lived there as well for some 3 years and loved it apart from the weather.

 

slainte, stephan

yes, “the whitemanhead surcharge” i am familiar with this!

$60,000; i am around 25% - 30% above this with my research but still think to find some corners where i can save a coin. reality will be as usual the opposite :(

Wharram mentions something around 4000 hours to build. is that realistic? it looks to me like a lot of boat to be build in this time.
