Hey Bill,
Great photos. Love the fact you are bringing her to life in your own living room :shock: I will have to show the photos to my wife to make her stop complaining about the boat bits that clutter up our house................just a tiny bit!! :lol:
I take it you have a big door or window for the final escape???
Cheers Rory

Thanks guys
posted some more photos of port hull catching up and beams. I have built the mast too using "birdsmouth" construction and Cascophen glue, but I wouldn't recomend it unless you have access to some serious workshop as there has to be no joint gaps. You can see the technique at

Still hoping to launch before the winter but pushing it a bit now !

Afloat at last, Tiki 21 no442 sailed from Carradale in Kintyre on Monday 12th July. A lovely boat to sail, I am well pleased with my build, just a few tweaks to do. Have a look at my photobucket page I have updated a few photos and a video. Special thanks to Sandy and Alasdair at Carradale for all their help and a warm welcome.

Excellent! I know you are on Cloud 9, Bill! There's nothing like the wind in your sails, eh? 8-)
