Wharram Tiki 21 cruising the West Country for 4 days. Exmouth to Bantham and back via the river Dart. May 2015. More about this at tiki21gratitude.blogspot.co.uk/
My Dad built Gratitude in the 80s. He lives in Topsham now although she was built in Derbyshire. I kept her for years in Essex. She spent any summers in Croatia cruising the Adriatic. I learned to sail by getting it all wrong and refusing to ask anyone else's opinion and
Thanks +Peter Wynn. I know of your dad and a bit about the boat from Clive Stiff, a good friend, from whom I bought it. I first wnet on it when Clive first owned it back some 10 years. It went away and then Clive bought it back again. It's certainly been a few places and had a few owners. Well done for recognising it. I did a lot of work restoring it 2 year back. It needed new platforms and a new mast and plenty of TLC. You can see a few of the pictures at wharrambuilders.ning.com/profile/IanBamsey It's currently getting a bit more maintenance before this season starts. I'd love to get to Croatia, but I'm not sure my wife's convinced!
Really nice video. Thanks for posting it.
Great video. Was fun thank you. Love that song too!
The guy with the hands in his pockets is a real addition to the crew!
Nice vid Ian, it looled idyllic :-)
That's Gratitude isn't it? I learned to sail on her. Super video, thank you.
