- After several suggestions from viewers and watching other RUclips videos we were able to raise and lower the mast without straining any muscles or damage to the boat. Thanks to all.
Amazing journey! I just watched every video on a cross country drive over a two day period. I think my wife and I would kill each other! I love your relationship and boat. I hope you have been able to enjoy it on the water. Thanks for being a great example of hard work, gumption to see the project through and a beautiful relationship!! ❤💪👍
Thanks for watching, and yes we have been blessed with a wonderful partner.
Rex and Kathie, 😀I miss you both, 😢please come back! 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks, We hope to return yet this summer.
Love it. looking forward to your next video. Fan from Australia.
Thanks, appreciate you watching. We hope to start videoing again, life gets in the way occasionally.
Thank you R&K for doing this series. I really enjoyed it. Excellent work and a very nice cat. Hope all is well.
Glad you are enjoying the videos, we intend to get back to publishing more videos sometime here in the near future, life has a habit of getting in the way. Thanks for watching.
Hi Rex and Kathie. Missing your regular updates. Hope you got some great sailing going in your Tiki21 over the summer. Fond regards Grant
Sad to say but we haven't completed any work on the boat since the last video. We both had some medical issues that has kept us from either sailing or working in the shop. Hoping to get back to it here in the next few weeks. Appreciate your inquiry , we are enjoying your progress.
@@RexandKathie Hope you are both soon well enough to enjoy the fruits of your labour. Take care.
Thanks, guys. I recently finished restoring my Tiki 21 which has taken 3yrs (not full time) and it is now on a mooring, still more work to do of course.. I really appreciate your videos and like the way you don't rush anything and are so thorough with everything you do.
Glad you are enjoying watching and thank you for doing so.
Your boat is so dam beautiful !
Aw shucks, you are making us blush. Thanks for watching.
Well done. I used to raise my T21 mast on my own with a gin pole in a similar configuration. I used to stand on the deck and steady the mast on my shoulder whilst pulling the block and tackle to the front bridle. I had a line from the mast base to the rear beam to prevent the mast base moving forward. It was a struggle first time but after a while, I had a system that I was confident with. You've built a lovely boat.
Thanks, I will try from the deck, good advice. Thanks for watching.
Nailed it! Made it look like an absolute cakewalk. Well done on persevering.
Thanks Grant, we may be slow but we usually make it to the finish line.
Phew, marvellous what can be achieved by ingenuity & persistence. My T21 refit is progressing well & solo mast stepping was something I needed help with. Fair winds to you both, and all your supporters.
Thanks, we weren't the first to use this method, just took us a while to put all the pieces together.
Easy Peasy. great job getting it to all come together. You'll have to take this all down to transport to the water???? better to figure it all out before you splash the boat. Genius stuff there dude and dudette. I know for a fact you could not have done it without your wife. 😉😇😁
It is a trailerable boat, just need an hour or 2 to put it together. You are correct, I could not have done it without her. Now to convert the trailer to launch from. Thanks for watching.
I am so inspired. You both did an amazing job with your build.
By any chance did you keep track of your work hours?
I am wondering about how many hours it really takes to build a tiki 21.
We are probably slower than most builders. We do not work 8 hours days, most sessions are 2 to 3 hours so there is a lot of setup and teardown time. We are right at 1500 hours but most will be quicker. Plus we made a few mistakes you don't have to make.
Thanks for watching, looking forward to watching your build.
very good idea. thanks for sharing
Thanks and it was our pleasure to share.
Hey Mr and Mrs Payne, I have really enjoyed your series on this build. I have been wondering how you were getting along and found out that i hadn't been notified of the most recent two films.
I have owned various beach catamarans and can empathise that with two people it is hard raising an aluminium mast and we normally have three or four people to raise and drop masts on hobie 16 and formula 18 cats.
You are most impressive with your skill sets and ingenuity and the style in which you present.
I hope you are both well and have been enjoying some champagne sailing.
Kevin, thanks for watching and commenting. Really do appreciate when people let us know that they are enjoying our videos. We haven't made any videos or progress on the boat since the mast series. We stopped because we had some health issues. We are ready to start work soon. Wish we had been out sailing. We are looking forward to getting back at it. Thanks, best to you, Rex and Kathie.
Congratulations on working out all of the details for the gin pole.
Hope to improve it when we get back to work. Kathie had a knee replaced, her second during this project. I have been dealing with vertigo so not much getting done lately
To satisfy your old followers with a long video.
Best regards from France
Will resume videos shortly, Life got in the way of living it. Best to you, thanks for watching.
very smooth! so when is launch day?
Dominic, you know how that is, don't set a date and stress yourself out. We always wait to launch when it's done. Ran into several unexpected issues that stopped all work. We hope to be getting it all together again.....sometime soon or maybe a little later. Thanks for watching enjoying all of your videos, like the proa but think I need amas on both sides to keep me upright. Best to you.
@@RexandKathie patiently waiting for the age when I am patient enough for that!
Two amas makes it a trimaran! I think if you want the real proa feeling you can't have two amas. Though a lee pod or safety ama that doesn't normally touch the water would be okay. One thing I really like about proas is that it's really designed to sail along at the edge, but in a way that is much safer than taking a cat or tri to the edge.
@@dominictarrsailing I see your point but know I shouldn't exceed my abilities. Best to you.
@@RexandKathie absolutely! any case you should see how you like sailing this cat you've just built before you think about a proa!
Just like showing off your puppy's new trick that he's done perfect ten times in a row but as soon as other people are watching he only looks stupid and pees on the floor 😅
Thanks.
WHAT HAPPEND? This was a great Chanel are you fine?
Thanks, we hope to get rolling again yet this summer.
Hello.
Congratulations.
But....please, could you, chose à beautiful beach to put this boat on water....to satisfie
We are hoping to start work again so we can make it to that beach. Thanks for watching.
