Wharram Tiki 30 #164 catamaran: Time to stop before getting started

Time to stop before getting started

Due to to many items on the agenda the Tiki build will be on hold until at least summer 2012. Thought I'd say this since I hate it when I find a blog that just stops without explanation.

James Wharram's Description of the Tiki 30:

"The largest design capable of being towed by the larger car. This means simple accommodation . This is not a high cost, luxury catamaran, but an elegant, versatile, 'double canoe', providing basic comfort for 'Living on the Sea'. With a sleeping capacity of 6 and spacious level deck area, TIKI 30 makes an excellent low cost charter boat."
