When the axis gets drunk it is difficult to stand

An excerpt from the video "Sailing to Mysterious Island Susak"

At the building time, I hadn’t really anticipated what a catamaran would bring to my lifestyle. Now, the catamaran has been at the same port for ten years. Even if I don’t go down for a whole winter, I definitely go in the spring time. If nothing else, it has to be checked if any water has been blown into the hulls or under the cover. Everything needs to be carefully wiped and dried out. If you leave water in a covered space unattended in the spring time when the sun is gaining strength, you will be surprised by a lot of mould in the cabins at your next visit.

Matjaž started his work using a little bit different method. First, he opened out a cardboard, on which he put 1000 grams of unfolded fabric, then he coated it all in epoxy. Using this technique, he managed to add layer upon layer of fabric, well impregnated with epoxy. At the end, he soaked a huge chunk of mate. Visit our site http://tiki26.com

My family, neighbors and several friends helped me to build the catamaran. It would not be finished so soon and that smoothly without them. The whole process of building took us six months, approximately 2000 work hours. We spend about 25k to full equiped boat. Not cheap and also not expensive. Visit our site http://tiki26.com

Few years we sailed without a dinghy and swam to shore when anchored. This is doable while the weather is hot. But as it gets colder, it becomes uncomfortable. This is why I thought about a new dinghy. I want a boat I can store in the trunk of a car. It has to be light enough for me to carry it myself. I want to sail the sea, rivers, and lakes. The most appropriate choice is an inflatable kayak. It is light and quite maneuverable in water. At the building time, I hadn’t really anticipated what a catamaran would bring to my lifestyle.

Greeting to the Sun from Catamaran Ariki. Nice evening Yoga and Taichi onboard and wild sea sailing after that. Visit our site http://tiki26.com

Listen to the captain: Best crew is female crew. Definitely! 10 people on board Wharram Tiki 26. There is still plenty of room. Gulf of Trieste is enough big for that hot crew, too. Visit our site http://tiki26.com

The usual order in which the hobby builders first create a model and then the right boat, was turned upside down with me. First I did the boat and after quite a few years went on to model in a 1:20 scale. I gave this rough model to a friend, who invented a new sails and needed a model, after the will to complete it was ran out. Visit our site http://tiki26.com

The video was shot in early October in the Gulf of Trieste. It was a beautiful day. We sailed from Piran (Slovenia) to Monfalcone (Italy) and anchored under the Duino Castle. Visit our site http://tiki26.com

The most I was wondering how can an amateur that knows nothing about building boats can build a DIY catamaran. Probably it was because of this question that the majority never thinks of DIY. Well, it was not difficult, I just started and somehow it went. Visit our site http://tiki26.com

It has been five years since the launch. Catamaran was dismantled. All constituent parts had to be colored again. And several things that were done improperly or superficially needed to be fixed or made in a different way. Therefore we spent our holidays ashore this year. We encamped for 30 days on the hot asphalt at the Yachting Center in the town of Izola. Visit our site http://tiki26.com

Wahrram Tiki 26 - Catamaran ARIKI the most beautiful catamaran in the Adriatic Sea Visit our site http://tiki26.com Technical data Length ower all: 8,20 m Width: 4,60 m, Draft: 0,60 m, Weight- 800 kg, Capacity- 700 kg, Sails- 26,5 m2, 4 beds in 2 cabins, Sails- Main (16,5 m2), jib (10 m2), Storm jib (1,8 m2), Motor- Outboard 9,8 KS Tohatsu

Just like any other sail boat, Arki uses alot of rope. This barely 8 metre long catamaran is equipped with half kilometre of different types of rope. Halyard is made of dynamic 10 mm thick rope, hoists are made out of rope that does not bend or get twisted, mooring ropes are 25 mm thick, they aren't knitted the classic way, but are twisted and very elastic. For trampolines, we use plain knit ropes. The most special ropes are used for tying the hull. Yes, you heard it right, for tying the hull! Visit our site http://tiki26.com

Catamaran Ariki is 13 years old. The last scheduled repair was 5 years ago. Cracks and flaws in the wood were mostly all removed. Catamaran was ashore for a whole month. Repair proved to be a hard work, boat was ashore and sitting on hot alsphalt in august, the hottest month of the year. Two years ago we also docked here, in Izola shipyard. For two days we docked onto a floating dock, took down the mast and repainted it. Emil was operating the crane. He is the one accompanying us, ever since we came here, to Izola shipyard, 13 years ago. Today here is Emil's co-worker Matjaž. Emil is on holiday. Despite his age, he is still avid surfer. They make interesting team: Crane operator Matjaž is lifting captain Matjaž and Ariki, who Emil jokingly likes to call »the fastest paddle boat of Adriatic.« from the water.

At the request of viewers, we prepared a second version of this video. It is more photos than in the previous video. Therefore, the video is longer and better.

At the request of viewers, we prepared a second version of "Buiding Tiki 26 in 180 Days" video. It is more photos here than in the previous video. Therefore, the video is longer and better. Slideshow with more than 500 photos showing the entire process of building 8 m long wooden catamaran designed by James Wharram. We built it under the Slovenian mountains in just half a year.

The most I was wondering how can an amateur that knows nothing about building boats can build a DIY catamaran. Probably it was because of this question that the majority never thinks of DIY. Well, it was not difficult, I just started and somehow it went. The constructor adapted plans to be easy-to-read for those that have no clue what DIY means in the first place (DIY = do it yourself). The DIY construction plan is actually a comic book including all of the instructions on how to use tools and materials. It is meant as a construction of playwood, wood and epoxy. So the boat is easy, flexible and strong. Visit our site http://tiki26.com

Already in the beginning, when Ariki came into water, we could not balance it. A experience sailor Jure Sterk said to me that I should fill the empty space between skegs and the hulls. This solution was clearly pointed to according to the sailmaker’s calculation. Although I was afraid that the awkward catamaran would become even “clumsier”, we went back to work.

1000 miles of Adriatic Sea (Slovenia - Italy - Croatia) without an autopilot. I sailed like they used to sail in the old days. Hours and hours on a bench with a steering in my hand. It was nice no matter if the sun was burning, if the moon was shining, or a storm was raging.
