The Building and Sailing of Tehini - • The Building And Saili... A compilation videos, from the beginning of my time on Mara Noka (2018) through the beginning of the refit (2020).
In 1962, aged 18 I had a short but exciting sail with James Wharram. I was an experienced and competitive dinghy sailor attending a national championship. Races were cancelled for the day on account of a 30+ knot wind. I was checking at the race centre for any update when this guy wandered in and asked if there was an experienced sailor to help him get his little cat from the beach at Llandudno round to Deganwy. I’d never sailed a cat before so I volunteered. So I introduced myself and with the assistance of about half a dozen people we manhandled this little 18 - 20 ft cat down the beach and set off. We made slow progress trying to round Great Orme (a huge headland) with the promise of being able to slightly ease sheets once we were round for a fetch down to Deganwy. However, once we reached open water we found a lot more wind and James decided that we should head back. At this stage I was totally unimpressed by my first catamaran experience: our progress had been painfully slow, upwind, and she lacked the “feel” of the dinghies I was used to. But the second we headed back that little cat took off like a scalded cat and steered like she was on rails. We got back to the beach where a dozen people helped us pull her up right above the high water mark, we shook hands and I never saw him again. It was only several years later that I learned of Wharram cats, read his book and realised that JW and the James I sailed with were one and the same. Later, I moved to NZ and when I moved North from Wellington was able to buy a beautiful Pahi 31. Park her on a Beach and when the water at the bow was almost up to your knees you could single-handedly shove her off again, yet I was totally confident that under bare poles she would ride out pretty much anything. Nowadays, I’m reminded of my brief encounter with James, whenever I see one of his (or Hanneka’s) designs. ETA. You are a remarkable young woman. Please continue making videos. I will be looking out for them. Arohanui.
@@dobryden22 I’m in Hokianga.😉 Had my cat “Imagine” on a mooring at Opua back in the nineties. Cruised her between Whangaroa to the Barrier fro two seasons. Family illness forced me to quit sailing in 93 and I had neither the time nor the money to get another boat until about 2008, when I bought a Shoalcraft, “Tanuki”. Gave up in 2014 when I could no longer manage her by myself. Just a keyboard sailor, these days.
@@q.e.d.9112 Well if you ever wanna come for a cruise in the bay of islands youre welcome. Im often alone and prefer company. Im on a 1963 Steel, 50ft Belgian Gaff rigged sloop(Laurent Giles , Dyarchy design) I sail her alone mostly between B.O.I and East cape/great barrier etc. I was abroad for 26 years til 2019. Sold my house in Australia and bought my vessel. I have a few friends in the Hoki and due to come visit if you ever want to catch up!
This is medicine in a sick and hurt world! Everything is more more more and I see many people are urging you to produce more content. I have no doubt whatsoever that you would become a massive TH-cam sensation. I don't know what your path is moving forward - if you choose to share again, I will most certainly watch with great interest and admiration. Best regards and fair winds!
I am so excited to find the channel too, we just saw her a few weeks ago in NC, about to sail back to Portugal and then Brazil. What an amazing young lady.
@@bruceswabb7145 I think you're right. She's gotta' be some kind of angel or something. Damned impressive, though. Single-handed Atlantic crossing on a rather 'interesting' ship. I'm not sure I'd do that one except in a good monohull. But, hey. Tristan Jones sailed the trimaran "Outward Leg" all over the world -- or most of it.
This video was such a find. James Wharram stayed at our house in Deganwy whilst he built this boat. I was a child then but remember frequent visits to Deganwy docks and watching her being built. Until now those times were just distant memories, this video brought it all back to life xx
Refreshing, genuine, out of the ordinary stuff and basically Incredible journey. Thanks for sharing thanks for the choice of music for not overloading your video with the usual grandiose discourse of many TH-camrs sailers , which makes you even more special . Keep it up. Fair winds
I have come to dislike the norm of sailing videos these days - This Is Fantastic - please when u have over 100k subscribers stay genuine to this format - Sailing for sailors! much love Cheers!!!
Sucks dont it ... I've been posting videos for 3 years + now and she is doing so mutch better. I can understand why though.... even I find her stuff more entertaining... good stuff.
Wonderful. Such a welcome departure from usual sailing videos on TH-cam. The way adventuring once was (without all the plastic, tech, designer clothing/corporate labels and hype)
I love both of your videos. You need to do more. A lot more. My sailing years are over and I have swallowed the anchor but my heart is still out there sailing.
I hear what yer sayin' Franklin. But it ain't over. I'm 66 an' have to very soon put me Colvin Gazelle gaffer away. Might not even get a chance to sail her again -- at least not without some help on board. But, I've got me a little 25-foot Westerly Centaur hidden away here on the farm and I'll get her fixed up an' goin' again soon. I'll probably even mount a couple of the old schooner's swivel guns on her to keep away the riff-raff of the kind of places I like to visit. If yer anywhere on the East Coast, I'll gives ye a ride if yer near Baltimore. An' I'll gives ye a cutlass to keep the youngsters from gettin' too out of line wi' a couple of agedly gentrified man.
Two great films. Don't change a thing with your style in life or film production. You are the real deal and in the finest traditions of women on Wharram cats. I am a solo sailor and you're absolutely right about not being able to put into words what it's like to arrive from a voyage when you feel so totally at one with the boat and sea and wind. It makes you emotional and it is so lovely to see that because its a real thing. Full respect.
"I, uh... basically have no idea what I'm doing..." I flippin love this! You know SO much more now simply because you showed up open and willing to learn.
Really enjoyed watching. Very unpretentious, solid editing and must say some damn good choice of music to accompany the whole film.. brilliant! Fair winds
I am no sailor but I love your adventures. However, I am pleased you had your boat restored because I was slightly worried about its condition! You're brilliant, sail on!
Ruth was so kind and patient with my queries when I built my Tiki. James & Hanneke gave the world wonderful ideas & plans. We are grateful and Wharram designs are in every port.
I’m absolutely shocked and in love with this channel. Intense life overflows from these videos that floods my soul. I cannot express how deeply touched I am. Thank you
You clearly have so many talents ! Apart from the talent of admiring your surroundings, you gave me gooes bumps watching your videos.You have such a romantic approach to describe your adventure. Being a french sailor, you remind me of Moitessier , prettier though... Fair winds and following seas ! en
I'm from St. Augustine and saw you and your boat at St Aug Marine... I actually stopped in to see if you needed some sails (and...etc.) I had in my loft,... but never managed to catch you. Full credit for your courage and your will to forge on. I to am on a boat, now in Southern Australia - soon to be solo... You're an inspiration,... onward!
I saw a Brazilian guy interviewing you in ilha bela, after knowing your history, you start in my mind a midlife crisis , I'm forty years old , my life is just go work and home. I must do something like you did , and enjoy life. Congratulations 👏
Keep posting , your adventures are wonderful . While watching your first clip I thought OMG , but half way through it fell in love with your boat and all of it's potential. Your an amazing individual and I definitely want more !
Just found your channel today. Hope you post more videos. Craaaazy to see what your doing in your boat. Really inspiring! I actually used to live on my sailboat just across the water from the boatyard you are/were working in. Good luck with the refit... lots of lovely knowledgable locals around if you need helping hands. :)
Wow, love it. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for these fine and capable vessels. I have done a lot of cruising mainly on heavy 35-48 foot monos. This is completely different and quite valid. Good for you. Quite an accomplishment
Boa tarde Kiana ! Assisti cedo sua entrevista com o Adrano do canal Hashtag SAL e me apaixonei pela sua historia,vc fez tudo aquilo que eu gostaria de ter feito !Que mulher corajosa vc é !

I can't seem to get enough of your content! Truly amazing soul you are, I can only hope one day our paths cross and I can be as brave of a sailor as you! Fair winds to you sweet soul.
I was partially in doubt about my fictional character, a teenage girl sailing on her own, but your video gave me a message. I will keep writing. Thanks for sharing your experience! Amazing!!!
I met James Wharram and Anneke Boon at the 1st World Multihulls symposium in Toronto in 1974. We discussed sail rigs over breakfast as he was designing using gaffs. Also met Jim Brown, Derek Kelsall, Dick Newick, Lock Crowther, Rod MacAlpine-Downie, Jan and Meade Gougeon, and others. In an introduction Kellsall described Wharram as a "world-girdling girl wordler'.
@@RobCummings HI Rob. Imagine you're a young person living in Scotland (in the 60s/70s) where you're lucky to get a couple nice days a year and you meet this guy who's on his way to (naked) tropical paradise, building getaway machines on the cheap. Wanna go?
Please keep posting things!! I am subscribing and will patiently wait as long as necessary. I absolutely love your adventure and the video. No need for fancy filming and editing when the content is so real and amazing!
Thank you! This was so good to watch, even better to have done. I wish I hadn't developed terrible seasickness over the years, plus a massive fear of deep water and heavy seas. I've only done it a couple of times, but I loved sitting out there on that black ocean watching the clouds, the heading, the windspeed, the spume on the swell, the occasional albatross, and feeling the excitement of heading out of port and reaching a new one.
After 40 years of sailing wooden vessels i believe your passengers have a scent for wood on open waters, hence they keep you company and I'm sure it's your gentleness and demeanor that keeps them there. You are a lovely child fair winds and happy journeys.
Go on girl! I know multihull restoration too. Keep it up but get your rest also as sometimes its then those brilliant boat mod ideas come to mind. That one image of you hustling up your wooden mast with a knife careening around like a necklace is such sailors gold. Can't wait to see more videos! PS - great attitide and courage
your message at the end hit me in my heart. you are a true sailor! I have French and Portuguese blood in my veins and the sailing hitch is turning into learning sailing this year. I too want to sail solo and my goals are more towards the Pacific ( the Atlantic will be good learning grounds). fair winds and thank you for giving me and others even more motivation to get out there and DO IT.
Amazing to see a creator of something new, in a way, that shows how thinking out of the box actually puts you in a better space to live and grow. Thanks for the wonderful and genuine sense from your videos.
From the videos you have released, I think I see the soul of a classic adventurer. A person who knows what you want to do and who is gonna do it your way ...always. I hope you have the adventurers you want and I hope you tell the tale (in print, or video. doesn't matter). Should be a tale worth reading.
Beautiful. Lovely human being who is getting to know her self and her capabilities and if she carries on this way she will undoubtedly be a very intelligent human. Good luck keep it up
Wow, I love the way you sail, so genuin. I image sailing this way makes you feeling so free and on top of the world. Love the boot, looks sturdy and strong! Definitly not the avarage boat. Your video inspires me to persue my sailing dream even more, thank you! Keep on posting!
I absolutely love everything about your videos, your lifestyle, your boat, and pretty much everything about you. I'm selling my wooded land lot, (lost the house lot in the divorce), so I can be free of the landlocked life on a catamaran sailboat of my own. I very much hope to see you cross my bow when I finally make that happen.
The recent Hanneka Wharram interview brought me here. Anyone else? Mark, from Wilding Sailing, consulted with Hanneka a few months ago and posted it on TH-cam. BTW, Mark bought his dream Wharrem 40 for 2000 Euro (last week). The boat is a bit of a mess (sunk into the mud) but Mark is confident he'll be sailing her by October. I would never bet against Mark's quiet tenacity.
Wow, you are amazing! This is something totally new to me. I had no idea such a catamaran even existed. And crossing such amazing distances on your own, exceptional. Such daring, adventurous and exciting content. And done so professionally. Thank you for filming the restoration in particular. And so many questions, like how much fresh water did you carry with you, storing fresh produce and meat, etc. In a world with high tech sailboats this is totally awesome. How did you do it????
@@kianaweltzien4469 I saw JW and Hanneke at the London boat show. James in his shorts and wellingtons pacing about and Hanneke engaging with the public. I took a brochure but never did build one. They weren't just selling the boat but a whole philosophy and lifestyle. I live in Wales and can't be that far from where they built that boat. Please keep posting.
Beautiful video. Shows how with the simplest of boats you can have a great adventure. Nothing much on your boat that can‘t be repaired with a bit of wood, a length of line, or some duct tape. Of course, the courage to overcome your fears and actually leave harbour is also a help😉
So beautiful love the boat I would love to sail as crew Been sailing 30yrs monohaul that boat is so cool Hope to see in person one day inspired Fair Winds Adventure Never Stop Hello From West Palm Beach
just incredible, the crossing the vessle, the person, the spirit! Do what you love first, please dont fall for all the YT stuff... but do share with us whenever you feel like it! We'd appreciate that
I am sure you are inspirering a lot of woman and man to follow their dreams. i am inspired and looking for a wharram currently. Thanks a lot for doing what you feel right for you to do :) Best regards, Tomasz
Beyond Awesome! Keep making content! So many dreams light up! Wonderful images, thoughtfully put together, and an amazing Captain and Navigator pulling of what many will only dream of!!

Both videos are wonderful and I would love to see more! You are an amazing individual!
Publique mais vídeos com legendas em português. Tem muitos brasileiros acompanhando sua jornada
Nosso chorinho brasileiro 🇧🇷🙏🏽😅
💥💖🙏 what a wonderfully shot / edited film. Art and craft , time in timeless. Xx
Blown away by this. The boat, the history, you, the sailing and the footage. Savage!!
You are freaking awesome Lady 😳☝️ I'm a bit blown away right now 😂😂👌 thanks for your experience sharing, really 🙃.
The video is awesome but most of all thank you for the music !
Can’t stop listening to it …
This is my favorite video yet
Pure, joy, extraordinary for myself. Thank you, wishes your journey continues well on your paths.
Simplicité, plaisir, liberté... Débrouillardise et courage également... Et beaucoup de charme aussi!
I absolutely love everything about your videos, your lifestyle, your boat, and pretty much everything about you.
I'm selling my wooded land lot, (lost the house lot in the divorce), so I can be free of the landlocked life on a catamaran sailboat of my own.
I very much hope to see you cross my bow when I finally make that happen.
Fair winds to you on all your next adventures

Lovely collection of these down here in Devoran this year.
So much great music on here. And of course great sailing and sea.
What is the music played during the restoration in Florida?
The videos are awesome. Great soundtrack!

Awesome music Kiana 💥It's super inspiring what you're doing : )
Beautiful travels takes me away everytime
The recent Hanneka Wharram interview brought me here. Anyone else?
Mark, from Wilding Sailing, consulted with Hanneka a few months ago and posted it on TH-cam.
BTW, Mark bought his dream Wharrem 40 for 2000 Euro (last week).
The boat is a bit of a mess (sunk into the mud) but Mark is confident he'll be sailing her by October.
I would never bet against Mark's quiet tenacity.
vim do #Sal que HISTORIA sensacional!!!! Ancioso pelo documentário e mais videos no Canal!!! abraços!!
Very nice video. I like that boat.
Wow, you are amazing! This is something totally new to me. I had no idea such a catamaran even existed. And crossing such amazing distances on your own, exceptional. Such daring, adventurous and exciting content. And done so professionally. Thank you for filming the restoration in particular. And so many questions, like how much fresh water did you carry with you, storing fresh produce and meat, etc. In a world with high tech sailboats this is totally awesome. How did you do it????
A seamless merging of then and now, perhaps a solar panel to show little change in all that time. Very good, thank you.
Thank you!
@@kianaweltzien4469 I saw JW and Hanneke at the London boat show. James in his shorts and wellingtons pacing about and Hanneke engaging with the public. I took a brochure but never did build one. They weren't just selling the boat but a whole philosophy and lifestyle. I live in Wales and can't be that far from where they built that boat. Please keep posting.
Beautiful video. Shows how with the simplest of boats you can have a great adventure. Nothing much on your boat that can‘t be repaired with a bit of wood, a length of line, or some duct tape. Of course, the courage to overcome your fears and actually leave harbour is also a help😉
Ridiculously inspiring!
@Kiana. Please don't take ANY advice from us, the virtual people. Keep doing what you're doing and feed us some reality crumbs. Thank you.
I'm in! So exciting. I can't wait to watch you story I fold.
awe struck. mesmerized, sedated....keep them coming.
Fabulous! Holy crap, I love your adventurous nature!
Hey thanks!
So beautiful love the boat I would love to sail as crew Been sailing 30yrs monohaul that boat is so cool Hope to see in person one day inspired Fair Winds Adventure Never Stop Hello From West Palm Beach
just incredible, the crossing the vessle, the person, the spirit! Do what you love first, please dont fall for all the YT stuff... but do share with us whenever you feel like it! We'd appreciate that
When I saw only 2 videos I was afraid you were giving up. Here’s to the next adventure! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Such a treat to see early James Wharram footage. Looking forward to more of your experiences.
I am sure you are inspirering a lot of woman and man to follow their dreams. i am inspired and looking for a wharram currently. Thanks a lot for doing what you feel right for you to do :) Best regards, Tomasz
Thanks for sharing. It was neat seeing a recap of all of your adventures. I look forward to seeing the boat after all of the work you did.
Beyond Awesome! Keep making content! So many dreams light up! Wonderful images, thoughtfully put together, and an amazing Captain and Navigator pulling of what many will only dream of!!
