How to build a boat according to Katie: First you make the stringers, then you attach them to the stringers, then plane down the stringers and epoxy them to the stringers, then you put some carbon on the stringers and carefully affix to the stringers--et voila! :)

Excellent work guys, we’ve just passed the first year mark of having splashed our rebuilt Tangaroa 35, her name is Curious. Your comments and advice about never giving up resonated deeply. So many setbacks, so many times of exasperated patience, so many times of thinking you’ll never see the end of it , but when you finally get there, you can actually feel the dream coming to life, and that moment is priceless. Congratulations guys, well done 🍻🍻🍻

Awesome! Wheee are you sailing? The frustrating part was we did upwind sailing all the way to Guadeloupe. Over three hundreds miles of upwind. Definitely a good test of what these cats can do. Saw a just hope for better direction in the future

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us! Your boat is incredible, and you two make an awesome couple. Keep up the great work and continue inspiring us with your adventures!

Thanks Kale!

Nice build job. Over the top build, however you will appreciate that when you survive your first full on storm at sea... I built a Tiki 30 a few years ago. Very robust design... Mine had a flat deck similar to yours and 50 mil lhigher saloon bulkheads for more down below room in each hull... In terms of sea worthy design, a friend of mine told me, the Pacific is full of Wharrams all sizes... I'm considering building a 35 footer out of aluminium... Might just be an old farts dream but I think it would be a really cool project...

What a one of a kind classic boat! Well done and Happy sailing!

Completely rad thank you for posting. I’m currently building a tiki 21 and will build a tiki 30 at some point so this was super helpful and inspiring. I really like the hardwood chainplates 🤙🏽

The 21 is so fun. Excellent choice

A great little boat you've built... It must have been a bit of a 🤦🏻‍♂️ moment loosing your early records.. Dynema really is a wharram builders best friend. 😉 Mark from Wilding sailing has just got his sails from the guy he bought the boat from.. so hes trying to crack on but the weathers been flip flopping from heavy rain ☔ to sunshine and thats making his work impossible at times. He realy wants to get the Pahi south before Autumn.

Yes we are headed south to Grenada this summer. Currently we are in St. Barths waiting for the wind to shift in our favor. We can’t motor directly into the wind like all these monohulls

You guys are so cool.....

lovely boat! Thinking of building one and just wondering does it sail up wind OK?

I love your big red tent at the end, looks like it’s over you during the interview above the bimini? Did you make that or buy it? Any details? Great to see your work and all the effort going into that lovely boat!🥰

It’s called a neso tent. They’re like beach tents. It works well but it’s wearing out already.

I also stayed in an airstream when I went to Miami. The ac cut out one of the nights and we were dying 😂

Hahaha if it was in Wynwood it was probably the same one!

LOVE the colour scheme! glassing over epoxy primer doesn't hurt i think, but normally the primer goes on top of the glass. Although, you can actually paint polyurethane top coat directly over epoxy/fiberglass

Not sure what you’re referring too. Of course all paint goes on after glass

Yeah we just didn’t show footage of the glassing. The clip of us painting coincided with us talking about glassing. No worries

Great video, thanks! Can you educate me on the foam you put in the hull? I don't see that in the plans and don't know anything about it. Thanks!

@ZigZagSailing-ug5de

The foam is not in the building plans but we thought it was a no brained to add the flotation foam to the empty cavities. The foam is closed cell polyurethane, with a 2 pound per cubic foot density. We also used this exact foam to make the roof and the cockpit floor. We reinforced the roof and floor with carbon Kevlar and fiberglass to compensate for the lower density foam (building plans for the floor and roof call for 6lbs density foam)
