Pro-Built Tiki 30: Wire Runs Between Hulls
http://tiki30.blogspot.com/2010/11/wire-runs-between-hulls.html
Sunday, November 28, 2010. Wire Runs Between Hulls. James and Hanneke don't mention in any of there plans anything about electrical systems. A builder is basically on there own. We used ordinary compression style wire glands at first. These were not really satisfactory as they are designed for a single round cable. We had leaks around them into the cabins. We came up with this technique that is very simple and very effective. I thought I would share it. This system has worked out very well for us and we ...

http://tiki8m.blogspot.com/2010/10/beam-blocks-other-parts.html
Tiki 8m Wharram Catamaran. Wednesday, October 6, 2010. Beam Blocks and Other Parts. This is the floor of the compartment where the black water tank will be installed. The fwd compartments also get a floor . This creates flotation compartments below the floors at each end of the hull. We paint these areas with white elastomeric paint. This paint is tough and provides a good non-slip surface as well as not showing scratches. It is also easy to recoat in the future when required. We build our beam blocks ou...

http://tiki30.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Islamorada Wharram Catamaran Rendezvous 2010. May 14-16 was the spring hui of Wharrams in Islamorada. We had our Tiki 30 down for the event and had a great time as usual. This time we pulled right up on the beach at the Lorelei Restaurant and took people on demo rides all day long. The wind was a little on the light side so we didn't set any speed records. However the slowest top speed we hit on any trip all day was 10 knots. Not bad for a boat with8-10 people on board. To start of...
