Hi, im from the Philippines but based here now is SD. Sometime 15 years ago, i bought the Wharrram Tiki 21 plan. I already build the the two hull when my petition to migrate here is US. It breaks my heart when I abandon the project. CONGRATULATIONS on your new build.
Hi from Brazil! I also own a Tiki 21, though I bought it instead of building it. I built a Hitia 14 some 4 years ago. My opinion is that the T21 is a great little boat, you can tote it around and sail it really fast and safe. I would surely like to see some more of your videos. And, of course, you did a great job building your boat, it is really beautiful!
Thanks so much! My thoughts exactly…It’s the perfect size to do some adventures on but still very manageable. I see lots of Wharrams online down in Brazil, I bet it’s a good place to sail them!
@@svprimitiva Well, we have from warm to very hot weather in our country and the sea state varies a lot, of course. We have something around 5,500 miles of shoreline. During the pandemic, we lived in NE of Brazil and now we're back to São Paulo. Here is a video from that time. The "aerial" images were shot by my wife from our apartment. ua-cam.com/video/yB1VAGqU7FU/v-deo.htmlsi=S_lgsh1rSYekFduc . The T21 was blue at the time, now it is red. We have something like 100 Wharrams of various sizes here.
A friend of mine built a tiki 21 and we sailed it to Ensenada back in 1969. 12 hours down and five days coming back. He also built a 27 foot fWharram which we sailed to Costa Rica and 69-70.
@@svprimitiva That year, 1969-70, was amazing! No motor, no radio, 2 charts and a plastic sextant. When I finally reached Panama, I started working on SD based tuna seiners. Over the next dozen years I got my Chief Engineer’s USCG Merchant Marine license and made a lot of money, and “pissed it all away so fast”.
@@ZigZagSailing_113I based it on a couple other tiki 21 trailers I saw online. I’m still working out a few kinks on it, but overall It’s been working well. I’m sure it could work on the 30 if it was beefed up and you may need some sort of mechanism to expand the two hulls.
@@toddpasco1799 No way! I definitely noticed your boat out there. Thanks for the comment! Maybe I’ll run into you when I’m down again next month. Cheers!
@@svprimitiva Sweet! Reach out when you are in town next. I saw 21 knots of speed last week in the blast off of Point Loma. That was right after we threw an anchor at Ralphs and surfed for a few hours first. Would love a ride on your Tiki, as well as visa versa. Nice Vid man.
@@zackariasthepirate yeah dude! I’ll be back in mid September. Do you make it back to SD very often? That’s so cool, I was wondering which ship that was. Cool family history there. Don’t know if I’ve mentioned but my grandfather worked at Kettenburg for many years, wonder if he knew your dad…
@@svprimitiva I believe my dad also worked at Kettenburg as I remember him talking about it often. Prob still be on East Coast till work ends in October. I'll def catch up. Would be interested in PNW if you sail it there again. Stoked on the progress and shakedown videos.
Great seeing the full length video .... She seems to run sweet and true. I wouldnt want to leave her on the water long un attented or the seals would soon start hauling out for a sun. We had a walrus that decieded it liked doing that... You can imagine the damage that guy caused hualing his 500lb plus wt into a small monohuls cockpit. 😬😂 🇬🇧🧙🏻♂️😎 Very cool, Mark ... from Wilding sailings managed to get his mast up and mainsail.. the weathers been pants mindyou.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 that’s for sure. I’m leaving it packed up on the trailer for a month till I get back here to sail so no worries of stow aways. I watch marks videos weekly as well. He’s doing a great job!
@@blakewatson28 I found it on Craigslist. It had a Prindle 19 on it originally and then I built all the bunks custom. There’s a couple other similar setups out there that I went off of.
@@blakewatson28 if you search for a tiki 21 trailer there is another good video on the folding trailer idea. It is a few years old and doesn’t give measurements but does show information of the concept to start from
Hello Scott. I’m in the middle of building a 21 as well. Currently working on the trailer basically the same as yours and would like some measurements if possible. What is the center line measurements for the hulls when folded and when the trailer is extended? Cheers Scott
@@ScottHerbert-s1h are you wanting to know the width of the centerlines folded and extended? I can get the info for you soon. When they’re folded in, they basically sit right next to each other with only a few inches gap. I do remember I used some of the measurements from the trailer plans that are in the Wharram booklet. I’ll take a look. Thanks!
@@svprimitiva yes mainly what you have done extended please. I have used the measurements from the plans for the basic set up. (Obviously that’s not an extending trailer) the centre line folded measurement is 1016 mm and mine has worked out to be 1100 mm (yes I’m in Australia so metric 😀) but I don’t know what the arms will have to be to slide out
@@ScottHerbert-s1h cool. I’ll try to get you some measurements. One thing I need to do is make the inner sliding tubes longer as they sag quite a bit when extended and the weight of the hulls is suspended in them (especially in the front).
@@ScottHerbert-s1h I really appreciate that. Just figured I’d start filming stuff to document. Been fun so far! Good luck with your build. I’d love to see it.
@@captainsurfcast Purely from a sailing performance view. Your optimum sail angle at the moment is off the rear quarter, but straight downwind, getting the maximum sail area is hard, and any wind angle from say 80 to 20, your mainsail shape is compromised. It only really matters if you are racing, or your motor isn't working.
Yes, I concur. Having entered the catamaran world just 40 years ago. Keep experimenting and learning. My 2cents: invest in high performance safety gear. Blow overs are common. My buddy lost his footing while we were hiked out. In a butt bucket he went on a swing ride down to the starboard bow and we pitch poled. Just like hitting a brick wall at 12mph! PFDs, harnesses, even helmets. I never expected a bridal to snap until we left the Mission Bay channel and the cable went “ping ping ping” as individual wires in the cable broke. (Right in front of my eyes.) There went the mast in a hurry.

Its such a beautiful boat well done sir.
@@arrshyan thanks so much!
Great video guys and nice camerawork Mikey!
Beautiful boat.... 11.6 knots... Wow!!
Thank you!
I’m so curious about this trailer design. Thinking it might work for a tiki 30 as well.

I own the Tennant Tourissimo that was behind you in the mooring field, while you were assembling your beautiful Tiki.

Great video my friend!!
@@ericjnelson6442 thank you!
Congratulations on a fine build sir, and what an awesome saltwater launch sail! 😎✌👌
@@captainsurfcast thank you so much! Felt great to get her in the sea.

He's doing well considering his starting point...and the mess the weather's been this year.
The trailer looks like a winner. Is it a kit that you customized?

Just as a flower, which seems beautiful has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of a man who speaks them but does them not.
How do you reef a sleeved main?
@@yamabiru4553 the sleeve just scrunches down and there’s a downhaul ring at each reef point.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Its a shame your sailing is limited by a boom-less rig. I guess with a motor it doesn't matter so much.
What part of the sailing is limited?
@@captainsurfcast Purely from a sailing performance view. Your optimum sail angle at the moment is off the rear quarter, but straight downwind, getting the maximum sail area is hard, and any wind angle from say 80 to 20, your mainsail shape is compromised.
