Cheers mate, i am sure if you've done it as thorough as the rest of your work it will be fine. Ive over built it like most things and over complicate it, my main concern was being able to do a thorough job in the restricted area ( had visions of wet epoxy stuck everywhere it shouldn't be :) and no access below.Cheers.Guy

Thanks, yes its all about retrofit for me, if the deck was open there would be other solutions. looking forward to seeing your solution.

Thanks, nothing worse than wondering if something will hold. Cheers

Cheers, trying to keep every change looking part of the original build and aesthetically pleasing. Thanks. What stage are you at with your build (Tiki38)?

@fromgumtreestoblueseas3349 I'm fitting floors in the lower hulls. Buoyancy chambers in bow and stern sections. About to start on bunks and some of the furniture. It's a long road for sure, but I am enjoying the process.

That's great, i would have loved to have built from scratch. Not that there is any thing wrong with the one i have and i love working on it. I would loved to have been able to say that i built it from scratch, few people will be able to lay claim to that.Cheers,

Thanks for the input, if it doesn't add much to the weight i don't mind beefing things up on structural areas. I never really thought about the slackening of the fore-stay, interesting(i never actually sailed it prior to haul out :). Med stile mooring access will be handy. the biggest motivator will be the inclusion of a furling Genoa up forward and possibly a sprit pole? I'm wanting to be able to sail it single handed (not solo).Cheers

Cheers mate, really appreciate the comments and feedback.

Cheers, this one is roughly based on the Wharram plan drawings.

Thanks, i had a very tight spot to work with between the beam trough and existing combing.If it were a new build i would give them a bit more clearance and height.Cheers

Cheers,the Sampson post on the case is a little different.If i wasn't rebuilding, a large cleat would have done :) . Always making progress just haven't been recording, so i will now endeavor no matter how short and unedited upload 1 video per week for those that are following. Thant's my aim. Thanks

Thanks for watching the video, ill do another one after painting in a couple of weeks with the windlass and rollers in position. The chain stowage will operate similar to the engine sleds, this will keep most of the chain and spare anchor weight next to the mast beam. As for weight it currently can be maneuvered by 2 people. Cheers

Cheers, need to wet sand this week then top coat with Northane Gloss White (two pack)

Thanks Paul, The original design, location and placement would be fine however most upgrades i do are are if the previous arrangements have been lacking, either from use, neglect or abuse. In this case the original, the holes were showing signs of stress movement and wear so i took the opportunity to refine them. With the planned adequately sized chain 10mm and vulcan 20kg or 25kg im hoping to rest a little easier at anchor.Cheers

@ecnaruaL Glad you love it, yes the drogue points are just as outrageous, however different. Internal similar to lucky fish but the forces will be distributed differently.currently it's a work in progress. Cheers

@@fromgumtreestoblueseas3349 would be great to see those too. Lucky Fish's being sited right next to the 'sternpost' i could not see how the drougue bridle would not come into to contact with the rudders.

I intend on using a Jordan Series Drogue, to stop the boat (Rudders will be locked). from my understanding the bridle will exit the points at 13deg to the center-line of the hulls.As the vessel moves one bridle leg will slacken on the side approaching a rudder(assuming no tension no chafe?) and the other leg will take load and reline the vessel.Cheers

Progress on the boat always ticks along.Cant spend time editing content so apologies for the quality. least i can do it provide a little content for the Wharram enthusiasts, Cheers

Thanks for the feedback, short and unedited videoing allows me to get posted otherwise i don't have the time. ill defiantly try integrating the tripod into the recordings. Cheers

@@fromgumtreestoblueseas3349 I figured, and it makes sense - it will still get views because lots of people are interested in Wharram's. In particular, there's very little content showing the interiors IMO. So I think it doesn't need a lot of production as long as the video and audio are clear. I would say if you record a bunch of those style videos in one day to schedule them to release one a day - I watched all of them but I don't know how many people will actually do that.

Thanks, least i can do it provide a little content for the Wharram enthusiasts, Cheers

The exterior has not changed since the earlier videos, however i have some coming up with the beams, mast case, and engine boxes/sleds. Cheers

Cheers

Yea i wanted to prevent a place for moisture/debris to sit, the cove joint at the upper and lower hull chine on the interior fore and aft cabins are concave this presents the leading edge of the plywood as an out side edge which is prone to being abraded. By filling and then rounding the edge the paint will sit on this corner much better and prevents it being a wear edge. Its only in these spots, i can only imagine that the original builder was just light on filler for that day. You can see it in the previous videos. i have gone over the full interior and given as large as possible rounding to ALL edges and re-epoxied them. I didn't edit that video, just recorded and straight upload to RUclips. That is pretty much what im going to try to do for the moment. I may do a bit of editing later using there editing platform later when i gain more time and confidence. Cheers

Hi Dom, yes the vessel for all intensive purposes was sail worthy when i first purchased her. However i have other itches that require scratching,I enjoy building, fixing and renovating. The vessel is over 20 years old and required attention to ensure it will last another 20+. The interior could have been left however, as i have the vessel readily available to work on in my spare time, and with the amount of attention too detail going on the exterior components of the vessel it will not be much extra to tidy the interior as well. Have watched a few of your adventures and find your spirit of and for adventure inspiring. Cheers Guy

Thanks for the comment, you've given me the motivation to DIY the videos without the wife's full assistance. Say tuned

@@fromgumtreestoblueseas3349 Lovely to hear that! Your videos have inspired me to make an offer on a T38 that is for sale in my area! It has a bit of wood rot here and there, but videos like yours are slowly convincing me that I should be able to fix most of these issues myself.

Hope you do well with your offer, make sure you do your own survey of the vessel as well. Most wood vessels can be replaced piece by piece :)

Built for performance, what do you have?😄

Hi dentside78, the bilge Panels on my Tiki are the tops of my built in water tanks, standing clearance measures 1836mm. i stand strait at 1860mm so no i cant stand strait up in the hulls.However due to the design layout of the 38s as you transit either to the head,bed, galley or table you are in motion and in the process of lowering your body.When lent against the galley benches(port) and dresser area(stbd) i have a clearance of 15mm. i can lean and chat comfortably.The cabin/wheelhouse on top will have sanding head room as this where we will spend most of our time, this vessel is for weekends and holidays and is for more of a camper than a permanent home.Cheers Guy

@@fromgumtreestoblueseas3349 thanks for the info. We're going to order plans from JWD this fall and our choices are narrowed between the tiki 38 and tiki 46. Setting sail June 2030, so 6 years and 10 months count down!

I'm a big advocate for all systems to be easily serviceable, repairable and replaceable without alteration to the vessel. Portable, drop in, and off the shelf everything, nothing fixed in or custom if possible.(or allowed 😉)

Cheers, i think that will be about it for fixed/soild storage.The rest of the boat will have net lockers to aid air flow, keep it light and keep it simple.

Apologizes for the very late reply, Ive only just decided to DIY this account without the wife's full assistance. Hope you build is coming along.

Thanks Mate, what bay are we referring to? Ive got a mooring location in Port Dennison leased and are currently seeking quotes for the mooring apparatus.$$$$ (Boat).

Thanks

Cheers , when time permits

Thanks, we hope to get more regular with video as time allows.

Thanks Waugh, nice observation there. i think i cracked me head half a dozen times when i was working on it, as you say it forces you to duck

Thanks Glen, i think for the internal structure customizing we are done. No its down to epoxy/ painting and then fit-out.

Thanks, were mostly just winging it

Our negotiated price was in confidence with the seller, however as these are not production boats prices will vary dependent on condition and build. We feel that our agreed price with the seller was fair to both of us. PM in our Facebook page From Gumtrees to Blueseas if you would like to chat further. Thank you for your interest.

Thank you Roxy, we are falling more and more in love with her every day :)

Thanks for the support

Thank you Russell, I am enjoying working with the design, it is a beauty. Guy

Thanks! 👍

Thanks Logan, there are some more detailed pics of the trailer on our Facebook page, facebook.com/photo?fbid=208055008458061&set=pcb.206451108618451

Hi John, this is the Wife here (Chelle), As we age there are definitely allowances that are needed. The Tiki had a ladder type set up and the spacings where uncomfortable for Guy so he has made them into steps, and he will put handrails on them that slide up so that as you come out of the Hull you can pull yourself up. I have a dicky hip, no replacement yet, however, I have a tendon issue that plays up from time to time. I know it is going to hurt and I manage the pain. I cannot comment on a replacement as I am not there yet so I don't understand the restrictions or pain, I just know that being wood, the Wharram can be modified. Guy will make sure that we have all the supports, spacings and comforts that we need so that we can sail for as long as we wish. On another note, we stayed on Moves a Foot for a week to see how I felt about it, going up and down to prepare food, go to the toilet etc. I found that I worked around going up and down a lot, I had a tray that I would prepare and throw up to Guy to reduce the up and down, I loved being on deck and only went below when I had to. Guy and I have a different relationship with sailing from each other and I will go on some trips but not all. I am happy for him to have his dream and me to watch the chickens and water the garden :) I am happy to chat any time.

@@fromgumtreestoblueseas3349 Thank you kindly for your reply, I will definitely follow yours and Guys progress, wishing you guys all the very best and happy moments to be shared on your Boat. Regards John⛵

Thanks Rev, we are slowing getting videos up, work on house and boat take priority at the moment.Thanks for the support

The only thing holing them down 🙂

I see your working at the side of your house, do you have plans for a larger enclosure as you progress?? Nice work on your Keels you've got me thinking??

Boat or dome?? Boat- Swan River, Perth Western Australia. Dome - Damien Cole Group, Perth. Supports for Dome - My own idea and construction. Cheers.

Thanks Mark, plenty of ideas get thrown around, welcome to the Tiki journey.

😷

You inspired me to fortify it

A bit harder to dance on a line, the pedestal leg is in and looking good will have updates soon.

Cheers

Thanks Mate :)

I am glad someone else saw through his evil plan.

Thanks 😃 he is the Captain no matter what pants his wearing.

Thanks, slowly getting some up. Work on the the boat and house get priority.Cheers
