neither did I! then I remembered that one of the reasons they are favored by cycle couriers is because they give you a lot of control in traffic. Takes a little while getting used to but really enjoying it!
Your resourcefulness is impressive. I work a lot in the same manner, though I am not a mariner. Carpentry projects sometimes require a lot of "MacGyver-ing" to get the job done.
thank you! yes indeed. I was a big fan ofMacGyver when I was a kid. Watched carefully so I knew what to do if I was ever in that situation. I rewatched it a bit recently! pretty funny! his ideas never fail, everything works first time. Some of them would really work others completely ridiculous!
Lots of clever thinking and good building skills, in a resourceful and inexpensive manner. It reminds me of watching wood craftsman in India in the 80's making things. Lots of hand tools and barefoot ..... fascinating for a modern trained house builder like myself.....
thank you! I really like the minimalist aesthetics of the wharram, so this is as far as I am intending to go, with regards to deck pods. Although, I have set up a dome tent in front of the mast and also have a large rain tent that covers the entire central deck area
thanks! this was a quick improvisation to get some plywood to my boat. Thinking about a better one that can fold down so it's easier to transport on a boat
I know it is six months too late, but for the hole cutter, you can take one of the cutters off and extend the arm out to get larger sizes. Just cut slowly as it is out of balance..
the prototype pahi is 35, it's actually for sale... www.inautia.com/used-boat-73676110191655536570696669534567.html (please chainsaw off that bridgedeck cabin!)
Pretty cool to see you in my neck of the woods. I was at your Nelson moorage just a few hours ago! That seems to be one of the many advantages of a catamaran - being able to bring it so close. in to the shore and just have it rest of sand. Ideal for this area especially but I'm sure also an advantage in many places around NZ.
oh it's so nice to be able to park up like this! before this boat I had a raven 26. 1.5m draft, tipped over at 45 degrees if you "parked" it like this. On a deep boat like that, you can never really relax. Always gotta be ready to move to a different anchorage. And when you are near a town it's usually a bit rolly. But if you can dry out like this generally put the boat some place that will be sheltered in many conditions and just relax... or do some building projects!
You could have just glued the window on the outside with Bostik marine sealant. Just round the edge over and polish it. It will hold so strong you will.rip the wood off before the sealant breaks. Polish with 80 grit going up to 600 then finish with wet wipes and toothpaste. They come out see through. Use black Bostik on the frame and the window to stop bubbles. Use stick on picture frame hooks to seat the windowsin correct position mask off window and frame for clean finish. Make window at least 30mm more than frame all around.
hmm sounds interesting. It would be great to be rid of the screws (rot risk) on the other windows) what glue specifically? glue over the paint? is the paint stronger than the wood?
Great wee video. Sound is pretty poor. But content is brilliant. I’m a fellow wharramite…so I’ll watch with interest. Good advice and insights. Thanks for sharing!
Well done, good editing! way above my abilities.... Love the Pahi 31, it's got great lines, beautiful ship! How do those high bows tack? always interested me, Since James lowered the bows in the Tiki designs, I wonder if that was the reason. The Bike trailer was a highlight... Dog House Dynamite! Keep Shunting Brah, Balkan Shipyards
It can be a bitch to tack, sometimes it would be easier to shunt! you have to back the jib, but sometimes just getting the bow that high doesn't work and you have to try again or gybe. gybing never fails! but I did successfully tack up an channel at the start of the outgoing tide the other day. I think it's the flat rocker that makes it hard, flatter than a tiki, didn't think about the bows, same windage at the stern so I think that would balance it. Havn't sailed on a tiki so not sure how different. One time when it was really blowing, big hills and huge gusts, reefed down, I tacked by oversheeting the main past the center, let a gust blow the stern around, that worked.
@@dominictarrsailing Been on a Tiki 38 a few times, tacks no problem, backing the Jib helps, but tacked almost like a mono anyway... Sheeting the main the wrong way is a great idea! Enjoy summer bro.......
You are amazing at problem solving and innovation.
Thank you!
Out there! Very cool. Bike trailer, Doghouses, all done while on the water.
never knew fixies were so practical. . nice the round windows too for that nautical look

You are totally bonkers !!!!! I love it !!!🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
excellent outback composites skills! love the glass cloth and balloon technique, amazing what you can do on-board on a wharram
I love Wharrams. Congratulations.
Like the window frames..... simple and water tight, easy to maintain etc, well done
Awesome skills! Thanks for sharing!

keep it coming buddy! welcome!
Hi Dom! We just watched this video with Will. This is a comment. I am excited about the pulleys.
Will is even more majestical than the beach fort

Massive living space improvement , Well done !
Well done!
Seems like most of the wharram's acquire a deck enclosure at some point. Those pods are nicely done.

Lookin’ good Dominic! WOOPWOOP!
btw, built a new proa! ua-cam.com/video/EdEAhlnCRko/v-deo.html
Wow Dominic, that is a very creative and affordable bike trailer build with a stick towbar and innertube hitch. Love it. Thx for sharing.
thanks! this was a quick improvisation to get some plywood to my boat. Thinking about a better one that can fold down so it's easier to transport on a boat
Some good boatbuilding techniques.
Nice designing and building!
Another great episode, thanks.
Enjoying these!
I know it is six months too late, but for the hole cutter, you can take one of the cutters off and extend the arm out to get larger sizes. Just cut slowly as it is out of balance..
haha wow that thing feels hazardous enough when it's balanced! I would like to see this!
Nice work.
thank you!
My ideal yacht, I wish they had plans for a Pahi 35! 👍🇦🇺
the prototype pahi is 35, it's actually for sale... www.inautia.com/used-boat-73676110191655536570696669534567.html (please chainsaw off that bridgedeck cabin!)
oh hang on, maybe it sold, was listed for a while
Hey this was a really nicely edited video. Thanks Dom! Makes me dream
thank you Bobby! I've been trying to get better so I really appreciate that!
17:12 just like xmas morning opening the presents :)
great content as usual. thanks Dominic!
Yowie, sabe make those!.

@@dominictarrsailing For sure!
Great!
Looking good Dominic!!! Interested where your little spot is.
hahaha well I'm sure you can figure it out if you study the satellite view for where might be a good place to park a shallow draft boat in nelson ;)

I just found this and just had to say”shackles, blocks and clutches oh my.
I dont know anyone who calls those clutches. Clutches are the ones with the lever, where you release the lever and it goes
Daym saw you parked up in nelson should have come said gidday
please do! I'm still around here... oyster island currently
update: anchored at adel island, that's near you, right?
update: motueka...

thanks! it's a lot of work to edit the videos but I'm slowly getting better at it.
Dude, eye protection !

Wow, these doghouses look fantastic. 👍👍How are you going to mount them? On rails ? Can you still open the large hatch ?
yes on rails. unfortunately I lost the footage for that bit... Yes the cargo bay still opens but only with the dog house in the closed position.
I’ve got a spare pair of safety glasses if you want em
Mate volume is very low
Fuck mud. Ship's looking better each video.
No I really appreciate mud! without mud I wouldn't be able to anchor effectively!!! that would make the boat life a lot more difficult!
typical hippie. stole some little girls bike and he thinks he's a good person
