Got a wharram 28 or some odd at the marina. It's gorgeous, see the man playing around on it. He loves his boat. Never seen it leave the slip, but I'd take it for a ride almost anyday. There is another on the hard in the yard still being built production seems to have stalled once they got the hulls together. Too bad it's a big one. In all I love the designs of wharram. Very impressed Matt gave the Polynesians their dues on this one. Btw, James wharram was the og 2 chicks one dude on a green cat sailing across the ocean 😂 pay tribute to the forefathers. Not that you need to have the wierd love triangle thing going on. Good tour Peter! Thanks!
YESSS! K.I.S.S.... KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID! I'm a Wharram fan. You could "single hand" the pahi if you had to. Maintenance is wood, glue, rope and Sharp blades. Flexing vs Rigid? Flexing any day. Boats should not be rigid on a flexible ocean. Oh and the wing sail?💕 Sadly James Wharram passed away earlier this year but his legacy will live on in his adaptation of ancient polynesian design in a modern era. The Wharram is you dude. I like the Tiki.
That Wharram was truly a visionary wasn't he? And his ideas have proven to be durable, sustainable, and have stood the test of time. Great boat. Thanks for that.
Plucky, you're a hero, bro!! Taking us aboard that beautiful Wharram Pahi for a tour!! Wharram has a few different hull shapes out there, but the Pahi is my personal favorite. What a beauty. I knew you'd like it. They're simple, rugged, easily maintained, fast, and sea-kindly. What's not to like? The owner's solution to the lifting prop-shafts was a really interesting adaptation of the outboard pods you typically see on Wharrams. Makes sense, and definitely suits the boat. Thanks again for taking us along on this one. Really enjoyed it.
I traveled to the UK and built one with james and Hannake boon it’s a boat for sailing and enjoying the adventure not bank interest, and expensive part replacement.
Bamboo? You're thinking raft not boat! I loved Matt's explanation of the Wharram concept, in tune with the boat and the designer, no verbiage, wooly conceptions or time wasting. It's about efficiency, safety and economy. Nice one Mate!
I didn't know I wanted a sailboat until now. Gee, thanks Plukky 😆. Seriously it's a beautiful boat and I love the simple concepts. Thanks for the tour. Maybe you should build one! I hope you're well, buena suerte y cuídate.
Nice touch to the Lagoon issues. Nice documentary of the big Wharram. I am actually selling my boat to start my Wharram Tiki 38 project. That will be fantastic. As little metal as possible.
I have already proposed a Wharram for your next boat. Much more simple to build and maintain with your skills. No more hassle with getting hardware sent across the world. Telegraph pole masts. No electrolysis. Tar anti fouling slapped on on a beach at low tide. Repairable on a tropical island. Seems the obvious boat for your type of cruising. Back to basics. Go for it. You may even start a new trend with you knac of story telling.
I love this Wharram boat , the Genius simplicity of it , never heard of boat before , learn a new thing every day ! . Im gonna check Kiana and her Wharram out 👍🙂
To me, the Lagoon is an AWESOME catamaran, I mean they are absolutely perfect, but only when you keep them in a lagoon. If you wander out of the lagoon you're going to end up with all types of issues. lol.
Great video. Love this Wharram, it looks superb. There's one in our marina, but sadly although its a liveaboard, it never moves and looks very tired, but with a bit of tlc, she would be something to be proud of.
Any interview on a Wharram is bound to be interesting. Thank you. What a great return to the thinking of early voyagers who had only fairly simple resources to hand. There are some fairly good recent and current builds with an internet profile out there, for those who are interested.
Best Wharram sailing on youtube is " Sailing Luckyfish " it's a Tiki 38, which Stewart ( a Kiwi ) sailed from South Africa. There's 5 years of videos including visit and interview with James Wharram. Also very detailed tour of boat, 2 parts.
I saw an aluminum Wharram in La Conner, WA that looked to be about 50 to 60 ft. long. The boat had been tied up at a dock for years and years and looked like it wasn't being used. I inquired about it but couldn't find the owner to talk to him about purchasing it. One day it was gone. Never to be seen again. I've got loads of photos of it and wanted to purchase it.
Like the sense of humour, the Wharram 53 is awesome . I actually saw a brand new Wharram 28 just the other day in thornham marina , emsworth uk. Fantastic boat build was amazing .
You don't realize it yet but your whole being just oozes that Wharram vibe. Just keep it in the back of your mind and re-visit it occasionally. The more you think about it, the more sense it makes. I've been sailing sort of the opposite catamaran all of my life. High performance, high tech Stiletto 30s. It's about time for me to do some serious cruising. Unless you've still got that speed demon rattling around in your head, the Wharram is about the perfect warm weather cruising boat for rough-and-tumble guys like you. Give it a little time. You just might come around.
Hi Peter, I like the Wharram design and between that design and a Mumby is where I would Aim , taking the best of both designs, Loved the drop down drive , what a $$ saver and built out of light strong Aluminum over all,,,, WOW!!!! I like speed and strength.
Nice boat. Great to see simple design concepts that work. How did Colin’s bulkheads adopt this concept? It was a design disaster for Lagoon. When do you start building the Mumby? I’m also looking at a Mumby to set sail in July 25! Good luck living as a lubber after so long at sea. Best wishes to you and Lisa!
This is only the second time I've commented on you channel, to to busy enjoying the content and thumbs up. But yea bud 100% correct, S/S isn't what it used to be, you know 316 s/s should never rust, certainly not in three weeks. You know what all you cruisers are missing? A place of your own to pull your boat out and do work yourselves with a kitted out workshop. I'm not in in the water yet and just started out on YT. {I've been to busy 9-5} In the near future Plukky, I'd be up for chipping in for a place we can all use for ourselves while running it as a business. Food for thought. Great content bro, fair winds.
OMG was laughing so hard at the lagoon designers "copying the wharram" with the swishy design but maybe it doesn't work so well with the falling cabinets and broken bulkheads comment. Nice tour of the wharram and description of its inspired design.
I'm excited for the mommy I'm excited for the dyneema and the simplicity of that rigging you got this plucky.! You really are a great person. Thanks for sharing your life with us ✌🏻💗😊❣️
Plukky When I stated building my first boat I went out and bought hundreds of stainless fasteners. A couple of months later I pulled all the SS crap out and traded the remainder in on silicon bronze. Cast the chainplates and all the bits and pieces from bronze. When she launched there was absolutely zero of that SS crap on board. Forty years later none of the bronze has rusted! Silicon bronze, aluminum, or titanium, or wood, or stay home and take up farming. I've always thought of Wharrams as hippy boats. I think my eyes have been wide shut.
I have always had a soft spot for the wharram's, what are your thoughts on a dynema rig on a 40 foot steel Br spray ketch? We are due to replace our rigging and i have been thinking about going dynema where possible
Lovely video thank you! Great to see a non-Wharram UA-camr on a Wharram. For you to do a personal Wharram to a Mumby comparison video would be great to see.
This guys a genius, keep things simple with the laws of physics, low maintenance, easy to fix , this guys sails any where . All the stainless steel is made in China, just shit , not enough nickel in the products. Peter you could build something like this ⛵👌👍🙏
Beautiful boat Plukky. Your viewers may be interested to know Rory McDougall held the world record for smallest multihull to circumnavigate. He did it in a tiny and legendary Wharram Tiki 21 he named 'Cooking Fat'. Hope to meet you one day on my own Tiki 21. Cheers!
I replace all my standing rigging 8 months ago, and me new stainless rigging looks more rusted then the 12 old stainless we took off...it's fucking bullshit dude.
Hi, the ideas in wharam that you and friends kindly showed us are very futuristic, avoiding the costly ransom of marine hardware and a better greener ride, I'm sure some of these ideas could adopted by mono's,, thanks for sharing your new journey s
@@MsMesem Indeed, most of his material is European development but what is simplistic in using todays material to fashion yesterdays craft? Dose it make the sailors less brave, less ingenious. Its so easy to hate negative simpletons!
Love the Wharram. We built the hulls for a Tiki 46 on my property 3 years back. It's launched and sailing in Florida now. I know he would welcome you on board. He has a yt channel, not sure its ok to mention the name but Im sure you can find it.
I likes the boat you toured. Pretty neat. Still pushing for the Mumby, have complete confidence in YOU!!! I pray your spirits is up today! I'll check out that other video and post what I think about that to ya. 🙏❤️🇺🇸⛵️🤙🍹🍻
Loved seeing a Wharram that has clearly been loved by her owner! Getting Kiana Weltzien along on your next adventure would be a great shout.
Seriously good content Peter. The Wharram would be a very good match for you. It really compliments much of your needs and thoughts on a great boat.

I'm a huge wharram fan! Waking up to a video from my favourite sailing channel with the subject wharram just made my day!!

It's not a wing sail, it's more like a wind surfer rig.
Hannake boon carries on the legacy they both build for 40 plus years
That Wharram was truly a visionary wasn't he? And his ideas have proven to be durable, sustainable, and have stood the test of time. Great boat. Thanks for that.
Wow.. Wasnt expecting that Plucky.. What a top guy that fella is. Hope this message finds you safe and well mate!
Tiki 48 is awesome. The Wharrams have a stellar safety record. Been described as an ocean crossing VW camper.
Ocean landrover was my favourite description!
“The LandRover of the Sea”👍

I want a wharram so badly. It’s my sail off and forget everything but the sea boat!
I traveled to the UK and built one with james and Hannake boon it’s a boat for sailing and enjoying the adventure not bank interest, and expensive part replacement.

the wharram seems to be a great boat, so many ingenious inventions , sure you can put some of these on use in your own build mumby
Love Wharrams. I thought Plukky might go this route with the new boat, but hi-tec aluminum will be fun too.
I didn't know I wanted a sailboat until now. Gee, thanks Plukky 😆.
Seriously it's a beautiful boat and I love the simple concepts. Thanks for the tour. Maybe you should build one!
I hope you're well, buena suerte y cuídate.
I have been on Matt's boat when it was in the southwest of the UK. Its a great boat.
nice to see Brian from Delos
Nice touch to the Lagoon issues. Nice documentary of the big Wharram. I am actually selling my boat to start my Wharram Tiki 38 project. That will be fantastic. As little metal as possible.

I agree👍
Yes
Kiana W.'s Classic Wharram *had* a (dead) tree as her mast.
According to herself: Very organic but also very heavy.
We so enjoyed this tour of the Wharram at Isla Grande! Sorry to photo bomb you, but you got us both and PAREM, too. 😅
Loved this episode Plukky, can't wait to see that Movie!!
Tiptoeing around the Pacific in a sustainable way. That pretty much sums up a Wharram.
I love this Wharram boat , the Genius simplicity of it , never heard of boat before , learn a new thing every day ! . Im gonna check Kiana and her Wharram out 👍🙂
To me, the Lagoon is an AWESOME catamaran, I mean they are absolutely perfect, but only when you keep them in a lagoon. If you wander out of the lagoon you're going to end up with all types of issues. lol.
Amazing Wharram. Love the ancient tech. Impressive.
👍😎
You have already nailed it Plucky -- A simple Boat for a Simple Sailor !!!!!!!!!! Wharrams are very realistic and capable crafts --- nuff said ---
I sailed a Wharram 27 to Costa Rica in ‘69-70. No motor, no radio, $15 plastic sextant. Been going to sea ever since.
I am a fan of the Wharram great boats affordable and sustainable.
What an awesome boat. Cool find, thanks for sharing.
Great video. Love this Wharram, it looks superb. There's one in our marina, but sadly although its a liveaboard, it never moves and looks very tired, but with a bit of tlc, she would be something to be proud of.
I love naval science episodes with Plukky... Top stuff people! 👍

never seen a boat like it bloody good idea. thanks for sharing
I love it and I want one...
I like the wharram 😀
If i were a bit younger say in my 30's I'd be on one just like that one ! That's the coolest design I've ever seen !
You don't realize it yet but your whole being just oozes that Wharram vibe. Just keep it in the back of your mind and re-visit it occasionally. The more you think about it, the more sense it makes.

A Wharram could remain an option for Plukky after the Elcano challenge is completed.
Good stuff.
Wharrams are awesome.
I viewed the Savage Waters official trailer and subscribed. Thank you. BTW: It was a pleasure seeing Brian drop by!
This channel is the best sailing channel! I've watched all episodes from the start, hell of a ride ! :D
And it keeps on going.... No matter what
Wow sweet Tour Bro 55 footer wow never seen one that big
Love the warrems
Awesome tour! thanks Matt and Peter. Love the Wharram!
Hi Peter, I like the Wharram design and between that design and a Mumby is where I would Aim , taking the best of both designs, Loved the drop down drive , what a $$ saver and built out of light strong Aluminum over all,,,, WOW!!!! I like speed and strength.
Wharram was definitely thinking outside the square, I like it
Love the Wharram. Simple and, importantly, accessible. Dyneema over stainless? Definitely.
Nice boat. Great to see simple design concepts that work. How did Colin’s bulkheads adopt this concept? It was a design disaster for Lagoon. When do you start building the Mumby?

Yeah I forgot

Thanks for sharing that with us. That is one cool boat and she looks like she has served them well over the years. ⛵
I love the Wharrams. Always have.
You and the Wharram were made for each other!

That one got me, I didn’t recognize the boat of course & thought it was a Documentary! Then I started looking for you and it popped up again!
I have always had a soft spot for the wharram's, what are your thoughts on a dynema rig on a 40 foot steel Br spray ketch? We are due to replace our rigging and i have been thinking about going dynema where possible
Do it
What a fantastic boat!
Love the Wharram. Almost built one myself. Wish I had.
I was going to mention her, definitely worth a watch brilliant sailor.
Lovely video thank you! Great to see a non-Wharram UA-camr on a Wharram.
For you to do a personal Wharram to a Mumby comparison video would be great to see.
Second that. Wharram style in fill building adapts well to any vessel. The hydro style could have it's place in the ElCano build.
This guys a genius, keep things simple with the laws of physics, low maintenance, easy to fix , this guys sails any where . All the stainless steel is made in China, just shit , not enough nickel in the products. Peter you could build something like this ⛵👌👍🙏
What a beautiful vessel the Wharram is, Matt certainly has a passion for a quality yacht
love the wharram designs
Also watching, " Wildling Sailing ' rebuilding a Wharram. Currently in the steam cleaning phase.
Beautiful Boat.Would love to see the whole thing sailing
Dyneema is a godsend for Wharram owners
Super yo quiero construir uno
She’s making bread on a wharram! Love it!!
Beautiful boat Plukky. Your viewers may be interested to know Rory McDougall held the world record for smallest multihull to circumnavigate. He did it in a tiny and legendary Wharram Tiki 21 he named 'Cooking Fat'. Hope to meet you one day on my own Tiki 21. Cheers!
Very interesting boat tour! Did you get any of that homemade bread? 😋😉
The Wharram is fantastic, ALL boats should be styled like this.
But I doubt Plukky would go 'all-in' for such a design.
Seems to be a great boat, well thought out and designed.
Super fascinating. Good episode.
Always love the Wharrams. Easy self make everything. Can't see the design use ending.
that is an awesome design bud, i love the simplicity.
I replace all my standing rigging 8 months ago, and me new stainless rigging looks more rusted then the 12 old stainless we took off...it's fucking bullshit dude.
Love the ingenuity - deployable props, swim ladder etc.
Very cool boat
Two girls, two catamarans is a must read.
Ok
Fantastic boats I would have a heartbeat
cool boat, very pretty
Really like the boat, she's a beauty. 👊😎

Great video awesome boat
A purller mate ,the message is keep it simple as I head back on the water 2 weeks yay .
Rather cool of Matt to give credit to the Polynesian Islanders! Ingenious and brave of him!
Rather simplistic view. Industrial Europe allowed development of so many materials visible on that vessel.
@@MsMesem Indeed, most of his material is European development but what is simplistic in using todays material to fashion yesterdays craft? Dose it make the sailors less brave, less ingenious. Its so easy to hate negative simpletons!
@@RickMentore simplistic view
Wharram has some very interesting solutions… I would take the best solutions from different designs.
That was fascinating! Simplicity, flexibility, all incredible. Respect for the past techniques applied today.
I love the Wharrams
Lovely boat and the principles well explained . I've got a Hitia 17 , but optimally I'd have a tiki 30 / 36 tops
Interesting boat!

Do more of them.
Thought warram were crap but after seeing the simplicity.
Can see the advantages
