Greetings From Canvey Island (UK)

[moniia]

Hello,
I'm reading this forum for quite long time now, decided that's the time to register
For now I'm in a process of building (just started!) TIKI 30 - and ready to move aboard my friend's Bruce Roberts 44 (which would spend winter in my boatyard - I would have much closer to my boat). ETA is 20 of OCT so quite soon. Finally aboard!

I hope I would be able to get some advice from you (and hopefully, help someone as well) - I'm sailing for a while now (ok, 20+ years), last trip to the high Arctic this year (onboard the boat mentioned above) with nice bunch of friends as a crew, but the building side can be challenging... OK, I did a fair amount of work on different boats, but never build my OWN... you know what I mean, much more stressful one

Aloha and welcome aboard!
Good to have you here. Is your Tiki a Wharram design? I've done a few repairs to a 23 here that the club owns and the construction looks fairly straightforward. I'd not do any overbuilding because they seem to sail better when lighter.
kind regards,

[GordMay]

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Monika.

As usual in life, ETA was a bit optimistic. They may finally make there next weekend...
