I have a tangaroa mk iv that has had its beams replaced with aluminium beams and tiki style lashings works brilliantly the beam o'all has been increased to 6m .. I have no idea on the cost but could perhaps put you onto the previous owner who did the conversion

Matt I fail to understand Wharram's comment that Crab Claw is only for very experienced sailors. But this is not the first statement from W. that I failed to understand. Perhaps it is just me.
I don't know why any of the "crabbers" did not pick up your post. Frankly I waited for a vigorous discussion. Doubtless once I post a suggestion this will change and we will have a flood of replies showing how I got it wrong !!
I will put some thing together but I need an idle hour as I will need to post a drawing etc. I will try to do it soon.

Matt I am more and more pissed off with this site. Almost no body is sailing it seems. You get huge amounts of replies to useless things like "best way to fit a fiddle rail". At the same time simple questions like "what is the head room in a T21" drag on for weeks without any actual measurement. A prominent contributor posted photos of a finished boat last year. Still in no hurry to actually put it in the water. I better stop here.
You sound like some one who actually wants to go sailing. Keep in touch.
