Another Ronald Morris - Scam artiste?

Just got an email from "Ronald Morris". Smells like a scam artist and I noticed he has just joined the forum with no photo or personal details. Can we send him to Truth Social or perhaps X, where he belongs?

Who has a Wharram for sale?

Hi folks, I am writing this on Nov 26, 2023

My name is RIchard. I am in the USA, but I am not limited only to purchasing a boat in the USA.

I am looking and maybe shopping for a Wharram. I have found some listings for sale but that sale happened years ago and their listing has not been updated. I have also found listings for Wharrams that are now in estates of owner/owners who have passed on.

Hoping to hear from you soon!

Thanks,

Richard… Continue

Tiki 30 spinnaker

Hello fellow Wharram sailors. I have been on the hard for a couple of years but I am planning to launch early spring. I’m hoping someone can offer a suggestion for a spinnaker for downwind sailing. I’m hoping to find a decent used sail. I’m sure this topic has been discussed before but I don’t see anything. Thank for any info.

changing U Bolt to lashings for forestay bridle

Hi would anyone have the drawings for changing the U Bolt to lashings for forestay bridle? Does there need to be extra wood or epoxy in the stem to carry the load as it appears the lashing hole are drilled further back than the ubolt position. Cheers Pat

Birch plywood for a Tiki 21

Hello everyone,

Well, it is now 2023 and my son and I's Tiki 21 project is back on.

This time we would like to know if Birch plywood would be right for this project. We may have a good deal on enough of it to build the entire boat.

I am attaching a screen capture that describe the main qualities of this material.

It seems right to us but, being first time builders, we would appreciate the opinions of more…

Tiki 30 progress

I’m 2 years in averaging around 20 hours per month. Yes, very part time but still enjoying it. The beams, tillers, hatchs, mast and other small parts are complete. I’m just now fitting the upper panels to the first hull. Building one hull at a time due to space limitations. The upper panels have been the most intimidating so far. Any advice from the Cretan’s out there???

There are also a couple of anchors (mud and rock), a Johnstone outboard motor, some fenders and a box of bits. Open to offers (it would be nice to see it on another boat).
