Building SV Satoshi - Wharram Tiki 38

My name is Marcel. I'm building a Wharram design Tiki 38 catamaran. The Tiki 38 is capable of longer voyages and ocean crossings and that is also what I am going to do when I have finished building it. I see myself living modestly on a beautiful sailboat that I have built with my own hands and know inside out.

2017-09-30 Building SV Satoshi - Wharram Tiki 38

YouTube link: https://youtu.be/fM55T-4ToP4

In this video I unpack some tools and epoxy materials. I cleaned the workplace floor, because after several days it is needed, you can't really see it on the video, but there is some sand, dust, twigs and parts of leaves on the floor. After that I continued drawing the backbone lines. For me it's a very slow process, because it's all new for me and I want to get it right. In the process of drawing I discovered that one of my station lines was off 10mm. I have redrawn this station line and checked and measured everything again. All the lines are drawn except for the curved lines for which I need to nail down a batten. I will do this next time and then proceed with drawing the lines again on sheets of hardboard.

Hello Atoll,
Thank you for your reply. I am located in Belgium. I just recently started the build of my Wharram Tiki 38. I will post a message in this thread each time I add a new video on YouTube. I will also try to answer questions regarding my build and most likely on this forum ask a lot of questions about many different things that I encounter while building my Wharram Tiki 38.

Wharram's having no solid bridge deck, as few others, makes them the safest.

Hello Scaramanga, I do not have expert knowledge, but I also feel so, one of the reasons why I chose for building a Wharram Tiki 38. Thank you for your reply.

2017-10-02 Building SV Satoshi - Wharram Tiki 38

YouTube link: https://youtu.be/gjn3_PgDBpI

In this video I nailed down pieces of hardboard on the lofting floor and drew the same lines again. Oregon pine wood was delivered and the neighbour came to visit with 3 little girls to look at my project. I gave them an explanation and told them that they are always welcome to visit and see the progress of the build. I also followed the advice of Ricardo who commented to my video on the Wharram Builders and Friends forum that I should buy some knee protection. I bought a high quality pair of trousers which has special pockets for knee pads. It was well spent, because today I did a lot of drawing on my knees and there will be much more to come.

thanks for sharing!
can i reccomend that you also at this early stage cover the floor in your workshop with cardboard and a layer of plastic sheeting before you start using resin,this will make cleanup after the build a lot easier..and keep landlords a lot happier that their floor is not getting damaged by spilled resin that can be difficult to remove.

also an extracter fan will cut down on dust once you start cutting.
numerous over head power sockets from an extention cable will also make life easier,and go some way to keep the floor clear of clutter
you should also build 8-10 80-90 cm high, trestles to use as table supports and for raised platforms once you start assembling the boards make them light as possible as they will get moved many,many times.

Hello Atoll,
Thank you for your advice.
- cover the floor of the workshop
- extracter fan
- over head power sockets
- light trestles
I am very happy to get advice like this, because I am really a novice, but want to build efficient and to highest quality standards.
Really appreciate your comment, thank you
Marcel

i meant to also mention that good lights are also important,i have found that LED work lights are very useful,as they give a very powerful light,do not break if moved around and do not create heat or fire hazard,also low wattage so cheap to run than normal filament bulbs.

i found the best source for polythene plastic sheeting are agricultural suppliers/farm shops,as the sheeting is used for greenhouses etc,comes in up to 12m wide x 25-50m rolls,and not expensive.

a good quality "track" circular saw,is indispensible if you do not have a full sized table saw,for cutting up plywood.

a router with a "bearing" moulding bit is useful for making exact copies from templates .

a router with a flexible guide for cutting out curves from plans is easier to use than a jigsaw,and gives a more even cut.

rolls of fiberglass cloth exposed to cold,damp conditions very quickly absorb moisture and become unusable,i have found that" in use on a roller" 25kg rolls kept in a cupboard with a 20-40w incandesent bulb lit 24/7 keeps them dry .

keep all recipts for power tools,so you can take them back and replace under guarentee when they break down after 3 months if bought from superstores!

always wear a dust mask when cutting or grinding any material if you want to live a long life.............

Re: 2017-10-02 Building SV Satoshi - Wharram Tiki 38

Don't buy boat stuff before you are ready to install.... Pumps, electronics, even electrical switches. I can't believe the amount of stuff I've purchased, sat aside in boxes until I needed them, and found to be defective once installed. Of course, this was after the warranty was out of date
