Building the Dream
G'day all
I am building a wharram tiki 26 at the moment and hope to be sailing in the not too distant future.i have always dreamed of building my own boat,not being filthy rich i had to go for a simple design and one that was relatively inexpensive to build.i am not a craftsman by no means but have found my confidence and can do- attitude go up a level since starting the build.i have no idea where this little boat will take me one day but coconuts and fishing may feature somewhere.
cheers paul.

Aloha and welcome aboard!
Our club has a Wharram 23 that's fun to sail and there is a 26 out in the Bay. Very fun boats and stable.
Good luck on your build. Your crafstmanship looks great compared to mine.

Welcome to CF.
Most people build 1 boat as a first try, you jumped right in with 2,
