Boatsmith Shavings: November 2010
http://boatsmith.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. New Carl Stambaugh 36' Sharpie. I was recently out at Indiantown Marina to do a little job on a sailboat. I like to go out there because there are usually a few boats that are not just like all the others. I was certainly not disappointed this time. Tied up right next to the office was this delightful little sharpie. Here is a view into the head and the lower photo shows the holding tank. The holding tank is mounted above the through hull for easy draining when appropriate.

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 ...

Pro-Built Tiki 30: July 2010
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...
