- After finding some new rot on BareBare just days before leaving in October we have now come to the sad conclusion to hand BareBare over to new owners. What price to set? We have no idea. If you are interested, handy and have a good idea of how to give BareBare a good life - get in touch with me: anne@flytbok.no

I always loved Wharrams!!! The colors on this is so beautiful. Such a beautiful place to sail .
Wharrams are really nice and especially our Tiki 38 BareBare. And I agree - the colours ar beatiful!!! Orange being my favorite and combined with Lagoon blue!
30 years ago I built a tiki 31, unfortunately it turned out to be too expensive for the costs in the marina, (3* more expensive here in 🇭🇷) and a large area for removing grass and shells every two weeks... My colleague recommended to burn all the wooden parts with a torch before epoxy resin. They have never rotted and have had beautiful patterns for years, I let the boat to an acquaintance for $1, and today it sails without rotting with minimal maintenance. Your boat seems much more usable to me than the tiki 31 and I can still only dream of such a beautiful vessel.
🙏👍🇭🇷
Thanks for your comment! Tiki 38 is a good size! Very usable for sure, at least in warm climate! Burn the plywood first, never heard of it but must be a very good idea! For us, three years in the tropics with no maintenance was very bad for BareBare. Covid time harmed her a lot.
Sounds like you are living life on life's terms. Very fortunate to have gone so far!! Good luck, and continue to follow your dreams.
Thank you! And one does still not know which direction the adventure will go! And for sure, there are so many fun things to be done in life!
Sad to hear about your 3 years away from your boat. We experienced the same thing. We bought a Kelly Peterson 46 in Fiji in 2019, sailed her to New Zealand in November 2019, and we never saw the boat again. We sold her 2.5 years after the beginning of COVID. How many plans it changed for all of us. Good luck selling your boat. Great video.
Pandemic changed the world and did rather hard on our poor boats. I am sad you never got to see your boat again. We were at least able to go back twice, though... a lot of work it has been we have also had fun! Do spread the words about BareBare, hoping good owners for her!
@@barebaretoboraboraДобрый день. Какая цена лодки? Заранее спасибо за ответ.
😮😢😭 Someone can make this a real gem 💎 again, and enjoy years of unforgettable experience ⛵️🏝️
Thank you! And yes, someone can do that for sure! We are hoping for a super good project with good people!!!
And do spread the words! Or the video ; )
I have heard of a cat, now forty years old, build of WBP softwood ply, still going strong.
The most important thing is to make sure any timber is fully coated before even bring to the boat assembly. Ideally three coats of epoxy.
In hot humid climates, once wood gets wet, marine grade or not, it will rot.
And then the issue is drying it out, the coating seals in the moisture as much as keeps it out.
The blessing is that repairs are not difficult.
You do need a moisture meter to ensure any timber adjoining a repair is properly dry.
Best of luck passing her on.
Hi Mark and thank you for your comment! We used WBP, not the very best marine type, but either we did not cover well enough, or the sun started eating first the paint and then the epoxy... And during three years the sun we usually love... managed to do a lot of damage! We know the repairing is not difficult, but living in Norway it is not so easy to manage to get it done ! Moisture meter is a very good idea. And, again Thanks for your comment. Somehow glad to hear that even the very best plywood would rot, eventually!
@@barebaretoborabora i discovered a penny sized area under my mast beam where the glass / epoxy covering was missing, the rot had affected both softwood and marine ply back 30cm or so.
So sad!!! Always something!!! Hope you manage to fix it quickly!
Anna, how very sad for you two
Such a happy looking boat and nice video's
Hello - yes it is rather sad this! We have had lots and lots of work after the pandemic, but also so much fun! Do spread the word - we are hoping for a good project and good people!
To sail to the Polynesian Islands is my ultimate goal , I have a 26 foot James Wharram design Pahi . But to have a boat already at the ultimate destination is very tempting ! Could you itemize the location of the rot and or maintenance needed and I'll seriously consider a new goal in my adventure !
Hello Mark! Yes, Polynesian Islands was our ultimate goal as well and it has been fantastic! Do send me an email and I will explain more about the rot. Send the email to anne@flytbok.no - Looking forward to hear from you!
Tyvär jag har inte pengarna måste till oslo och jobba men lycka till det blir ett fint äventyr för någon.
Mvh.Jonas
Heisan! Ja, det blir helt klart et eventyr for noen og vi vet ikke hva prisen blir! Det er nok en god del arbeid. Om du vil ha mer info kan du sende meg en epost og jeg sender der et dokument som beskriver hva som må gjøres. Eller om du kjenner noen andre potensielt interesserte!
Wish you well with whatever comes next!!
Hi Charles! We are joking about building an even bigger double canoe... but will not do that! Hoping to find the best solution ever for BareBare!
You’ve done an amazing job of building her and looks like you’ve had some amazing adventures. How long did she take you to build please?
I am thinking of building a tiki 38 here in the UK. We lived and sailed around Europe for 5 years on a Hallberg Rassy 42 but had to but the trip on pause and want to do it again but on a catamaran.
Hi! We built two hulls in one month, but before we had prepared well. Next year, mainly during Saturdays we built beams etc. We worked full time beside, difficult to say how many hours. Making it flush decked made it all easier, also having the galley outside. Wishing you the best of luck!
1 min into your vlogs I love it!
Thank you! I hope you started with episode one... me running around in my Snoopy nightgown while BareBare almost stranded on the beach... but that was 2022...
Beautiful video. Thank you so much!! Love from Portugal😀
Portugal - one of my favourite countries. I have been to Isla de Culatra three times and found the lagoon there at that time full of catamarans, many of them Wharrams. I just love that island! We sailed the coast in 2015 and there were so many nice places. I tried to learn a little Portugeese, but it is such a difficult language!
@@barebaretoborabora Really.!?? My family is from Olhão . Ria Formosa is not clear water(at all) , but in general is a wonderful and beautiful place. Full of live (fish , squids, clams, etc, etc). Warm regards.
We usually have lunch in Olhao before taking the ferry to Isla de Culatra... you don't know about a small house for sale there?
@@barebaretoborabora Hi , friends :).The past 5, 10 years there has some controversial laws regarding Farol and specially Culatra and Armona(cost line), regarding the issue of houses. The Portuguese government wanted to take people out. Rallies were made (some of them violent ) because there are many, many families that live in Culatra, Farol for decades and because of the environment (according to the authorities) they want to send down all the houses. This being said, its very, very difficult, almost impossible to find houses for sale .
I did not see your answer until now! Sorry! It will have to be AirBnb I suppose then! That island is one of my paradise places!
I am a retired carpenter and boat builder.The fact that there is so much rot so quickly is a very bad omen. With boat building especially there are NO short cuts .If you want to pass it on I hope you are very honest about all the materials and methods you have used.
We explain everything to potential buyers or anyone interested. Do send me an email (anne@flytbok.no) and I’ll send to you as well. Three years during the pandemic did bad harm to BareBare.
But if removing all wet plywood and glue pieces it’s reparable! That’s the good thing.
What a Shame I love the Way you had that Boat set up in the end ,That was perfect with the Roof and all
I bet Your Sad , But at Least you Guys did it a no one can take that away from you , Not even the Pandumic
Life is Cruel some times Isn"t it ,
hope she goes too a Good Home
Thank you for your kind words! And yes, life can be cruel! We’re hoping for a good home for our dear little ship’ ❤️⛵️⛵️❤️
I follow a TH-camr that is rebuilding his . His is yellow. I can't remember the name at this time . These boats look so nice. He is setting his up for 2 motors .
Wildling Sailing. ;)
His name is Mark and channel Wildling like Russ says in his comment! Mark is doing great work in Amsterdam! Maybe we go and visit at some point and help out!
Thank you Russ - it's good to spread the word of Marks great work!
Mark with wilding sailing is rebuilding a wharram in amsterdam. He might know someone. He and his parents have put a lot of hours in on the rebuild. It appears his was built fairly stout.
Hi - I follow Mark and his rebuilding in Amsterdam - great guy! I've already reached out to him!
That is a sweet looking cat. I wish you well and hope someone will see the possibilities in taking over BareBare. The repairs really should be straightforward. Great for someone who lives there to take over.
Luckily a young local couple has taken over and we hope to visit! We will keep making our videos - Short stories! I hope you will watch and possible comment! ❤️⛵️⛵️❤️
That dry rot will be very very difficult to stop. Did you use any marine plywood at all?
Hi. No, we did not use marine plywood, we used «kokefast» (in Norwegian) and think it translates to Weather and Boil Proof.
good luck!
Thank you very much! And do spread the word if possible!
This is why you should go heavy with epoxy coatings when using wood products in a sailing vessel. Every hole every screw hole needs to be sealed with epoxy real epoxy and not polyester.
Yes, Jack - that is good advice. We did a good work on BareBare, but three years with no maintenance and in the hot and humid weather it was difficult. Do spread the words so BareBare!
Yep. If there had been epoxy layered cloth they would not have had the issues but the investment would have been more at the start
But i imagine wood in huahine costs about the same as cloth and epoxy in norway
I must ad we did cover the hulls and deck with cloth as well a epoxy. It is the pin/bolts through the beam pockets and beams that caused the big problems we think!

I would build a nice deck and build a covered room on the top.
Hello - there are many possibilities of what can be done with the lovely little ship!
Åh, det var liksom et sjokk å se denne videoen, selv om jeg jo også på sett og vis har visst det. Fantastiske videoer og for en glede det har vært å følge dere, kjøpe merch og alt. Ja, det må komme en rik velgjører! Hvem vet! Jeg skal spre dette. ❤
P.S Det var Ingmar som skrev den tidligere kommentaren om Søsterøyene, vi har visst jammen fortsatt kanal som heter Haugstenetellerannet på YT 😁.
Kanskje dukker det opp en rik velgjører, hvem vet!?! Uansett fortsetter vi med kanalen en stund til, den siste filmen går virkelig viralt... 10.597 har sett den til nå - helt utrolig! Og nå har dere en abonnent til på kanalen deres! Så er det bare å legge ut flere filmer - ingenting å lure på!
That is the definition of a hippie boat.
Thanks! I like your comment!
Delightful. 🌺
Thank you very much!
Was it build with Epoxi?
Yes, SP Gurit epoxy and fiber glass on hull and deck. ❤️⛵️⛵️❤️
Oj oj oj oj oj... det var en trist vending.. Jeg vet tropeklima sliter mangedobbelt hardere på alt av treverk mm. .. Det ser ut som svært store omfattende råteskader? Nydelig båt.... hadde jeg bare . . ...bare bare.. Må den havne hos noen som vet å sette den istand igjen...
JA, dessverre, en ganske så trist vending. Men, vi legger altså ikke ned kanalen - i alle fall ikke helt enda. Og hvem vet, kanskje dukker det opp en entusiast med for mye penger på bok og som vil ha oss til å reparere som betalt jobb - det kan vi få til ; ) Time will show!
... og spre gjerne ordet... eller retter sagt videoen!
What is the actually amount of rot that has accured
Please send me an email and I will send you a report of work needed!
To anne@flytbok.no
This is why people build fiberglass boats . Wood boats begin rotting while being built , and it gets worse if you leave them outside or get them wet . Constant repair required and some rot can not be seen and can be dangerous
It is a lot of work on a wooden boat, but lots of fun as well!
@@barebaretoborabora You can do just as much work on a well found fiberglass boat but it won't be trying to fix rot , it will be improving systems or adding things like a hard dodger . You do not have to give up boat projects just because the boat is not rotting away .
You are right!
I built a Tangaroa
Fantastic! ❤️⛵️⛵️❤️
Oh no! How sad. Good luck with sale and whatever you move onto next.
Hello - yes, it is rather sad. We have been joking about building another and even bigger catamaran, but will not do that LOL - Hopefully something good will come out of this and good people with a good project will take over! So spread the word!
Huff, det var jammen leit. Selv om den drømmen er over så har dere heldigvis ennå de nydelige søsterøyene. Jeg kommer til å savne alle de fine videoene hvor man bare blir fraktet til et stillehavsparadis med nydelige tegninger og historier.😔
Heisan Yngvild, ja, trist dette, det er sikkert og visst. Jeg håper jo fremdeles på at en eller annen riking dukker opp... som vil betale LE og meg for å gjøre jobben og kanskje bruke BareBare et par måneder i året... hvem vet? Og kanalen, vi legger den ikke ned, vi må fortelle resten av historien, selv med dette avbruddet... Og nå er drømmen å overnatte på Søndre Søster, jeg skal finne fram det 30 år (eller mer) gamle teltet - KLEM
... og spre gjerne ordet... eller retter sagt videoen!
You maybe used low quality wood.
We didn’t use the very best quality but the pandemic and three years of no maintenance in that hot and humid weather was not good for the boat. More epoxy would have done good!
❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
❤️⛵️⛵️❤️
I'm very sorry. A dream is not for sale.
We are rather sad, but hoping for a good new life for BareBare - with their own dreams! Do spread the word!
Sorry, you must have spent more time building and maintaining than sailing? puts me off homemade when there are plenty of decent secondhand fibreglass boats competitively priced and ready.
Hello - yes, that is correct. We did end up spending more time maintaining than sailing, but the actual building we did rather quickly (due to a handy group of people) and we had so much fun as well! The main problem was the pandemic and the hot/humid/rainy weather on the top. But I must add, having a boat so different from every other boat in the area (both the summer spent in Norway) and three seasons (2-4 months each time) always gave us lots of attention, new friends, help etc! But for sailing - I agree a secondhand fibreglass is rather smart!
Do spread the word about selling BareBare - if you know anyone!
Please don't do it. A little more work after all that you have accomplished is a small price to pay for following in the steps of the great seafaring explorer Thor Heyerdahl. Imagine the obstacles that he had to overcome to realize his dreams in those days. 😎✌👌
Hi! The main problem is that it is soooo far from Norway to French Polynesia and a wooden boat there does need extra attention and a lot of maintenance. And she deserves to be sailed more, much more!
@@barebaretoborabora I love your art and videos. I will miss them. 😥 Thank you
Not finished yet! We will make more videos! Tomorrow another one! Cheer yourself up with a mug from your favourite episode! barebaretoborabora.myspreadshop.net/
Glad to see them, living their dream! But for God sake, will somebody donate them Maritime radio, lots of lifejackets, buckets getting the water out, a ton of signal flares, possibly a hand crank sump pump, more lifejackets and will somebody please give them sailboat identification numbers, so when we find this thing stranded on an island, or stuck in a coral Reef scuba diving we know who it is!
Hi Leslie! We do have VHF, lifejackets and BareBare has a registration number! And Wharram catamarans - or double canoes as we like to call them, have crossed big oceans many times! Thank you for your concern. We hope to hand over this wonderful little ship to some good and loving people!
The good bad and ugly of wood boats in the tropics.... plenty of fiberglass boats in the shipyards looking for new owners as well.
For sure...
Rotting wooden boat for sale anyone ? ;(
Maybe deserves a Viking funeral instead
Hello Mark! I hope a Viking funeral is not the solution. Plywood and epoxy and time to do the work and she can be fixed!
Why not take it back by container and work on it in Norway yourselves ?
Hi Jimmy! That is a good idea and we might consider it, but somehow I feel like her home is in French Polynsia. But for sure, she can be taken apart and shipped anywhere in the world!
Подскажите пожалуйста стоимость доставки лодки во французскую Полинезию или обратно в Норвегию. Заранее спасибо.
I’ll give ya $2000 usd
Hoping for a higher bid.
Do send me an email to anne@flytbok.no and I will give you detailed information about what is needed to be done to repair BareBare!
@WildlingSailing
Good idea - I will get in touch!
My first thought as soon as I saw the thumbnail 😊
Good ideay - I have already followed it up through email and messenger! Thanks to both of you!
