James Wharram cats sailed the world before cats were cool. I sailed on one from San Diego to Panama in 1969-70. Learned a lot in that year; celestial nav, Spanish and how to catch fish. Perfect preparation for the next ten years of commercial tuna fishing around the world. Thank you, Mr Wharram and thank you Hanna and Skipper of Tangaroa for taking us along on your great adventure. Somebody will get themselves a magic carpet ride.
That’s what we call her our magic carpet ride! Thankyou!!! Skipper James has been a commercial tuna diver for many years in port Lincoln South Australia. Cheers
Takes me right back to being 18, 50 years ago when I got the boat bug. Went to see JW and his ladies in S. Wales and left with a set of Tangaroa plans. Never did build it, went off on tall ships to learn the business, eventually built a steel Tahitiana but the Tangaroa was my first love.....
PS ,saw Tangaroa in Carnarvon,the northern end of Shark Bay WA ,didn’t know it at the time but they were heading north as we were.That was six months ago(when we hit Darwin) All those miles,certainly after Broome ,we hardly saw another boat,yes the odd one or two,but as a rule you are on your own .
i am on the other side of the world and if i had any sense i would cash in and come for your boat so my real life could begin! During our freezing cold winters here in michigan, we would play you on our big screen. you two showed my wife and I a warm wonderous part of the planet that i had only dreamed of. I dont really care for goodbyes , this video was a bit tough to watch, but i wish you both all the best in life. farewell.
Thank you SO much for sharing your adventures with us! We’re sad that chapter of your life is over. Love and peace to you both. We hope to see what you’re up to next.
Caught me by surprise, but life moves on to another chapter. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures to places we'll never get to sail. Will miss your vids and hope to see what you are up to in the future.
@@SailingTangaroa your Welcome i have really enjoyed your Footage and Best Wishes to you Both for your Futures.. hope to see you Both back on here Soon
Going to miss your adventures, you guys have taken us to some fantastic places and all without the manufactured drama which infests so many channels. Enjoy whatever comes next and hope to see more if you in the future. Wish I was in a position to take on Tanga, but for the moment it's close to home base on our trailer sailer only.
Will there be any further youtube content? We are addicted to your adventures! I see heaps of instagram stuff, baby, new boat etc… Miss you guys!! ♥️🏴☠️
Frothtastic. He/she who buys wins! Are there still going to be videos of your next adventures? You guys are great story tellers and so pleasant to watch. Shout out if I can support in any way, you know I'm good for it! All the best from the Swiss Alps.
Somebody is going to get an awesome boat with an awesome history. Best line in the video..... " .. or a third boat if you didn't get it right the first time." Made me laugh out loud.
Congrats........on the future time bandits.........will miss your grand tour of the west coast. good luck and thanks.🇦🇺👍 James Wharram Catamaran Tangaroa | Sail Boats | Gumtree (copy and paste) If I was in Oz I would buy it, perfect for the GBR, currently 4 months stranded in Qatar, thanks NSW government. 👎
True Adventure Ship alright , Much Respect to you two for looking after her , And visa versa You all will have great memories for the Future , All the best
@@SailingTangaroa exciting times ahead for you with the summer addition, congratulations!! We've spent the past 3 months on the Ningaloo Coast. Currently at Serrurier Island with the bonking turtles. Monties next week for a while 😎.
Beautiful cat. 36 foot is she... I built a Tiki 30 with raised cabin tops. That sailed like a weapon. Tanga would too... I really like the laminated beams. Bloody solid... Must have a look on Gumtree...
I worked demolishing some timber floors at woolstores in Port Adelaide, so maybe in a way helped build your boat ! PS I have sailed on a wharam , great boats.
@@gazzahuck9766 one of the fellas working there (kiwi carpenter) reckons the floor boards were NZ Kauri, best boat building timber in the world. A million linear metres of board came out of upper floor they reckon. (12 ×2 inch before we nailing ?) Soaked in lanolin from decades of having wool bales packed on it. Smelt amazing as we cut through the tongues. Summer of 1984-1985.
Thats one stylish girl !!! Simple (not much to her) but elegant. I love that she’s one of a kind. Great color. Awesome name. I think I would need to upgrade the galley and berthing spaces a bit. Did I miss seeing a head? Beautiful boat, looks very well kept🙏🏻 Someone is going to enjoy some water time🤙
Awesome Thankyou! That’s why we love her she’s simple and we have just been able to go sailing for long periods of time without fixing stuff haha We will miss her
Thanks for showing us the beauty that is coastal northern Australia. I was wondering what you guys are up to, since it's been so long.??? Babies on the way? (a couple of stowaways) All the very best.
@@SailingTangaroa aaahhhh I saw that in your future when I first found your channel...cheers you both will be fab parents... take it a day at a time. Pick your battles cuz there will be many an all aren't worth your time nor effort. I see a wee lad in your futures!! Love an light to you both!!
@@yourenotwrong3511 For a Wharram!? Sucker born every minute I guess. Could've bought a brand new Mumby 48 foot cat and had half a million dollars left over...to live on
Wow , thanks for that . Am looking at finishing off a 26' Wharram , one hull complete , all the wood and some glass and plans , all for $705 . Am pricing rigging etc . Guess the electronics are not cheap though . Plenty food for thought :-)
Does this mean that you guys will be stopping your channel or are you still going to put stuff up? Will be sad if you stop all together. Cheers from Joburg South Africa.
@@SailingTangaroa No, no, I was just looking for the price is all and thought if I put it in Comments it might save others from hunting for it. It might help you, you don't know. And yes I've been dreaming of Sailing for years and watching everyone one trying to learn things. If I were a Sailor I'd have 2 Dingy's and a Fishing net to fill the table with. I'm only saying that because I saw someone else doing it before the Hurricane.
So the cross-beams are bolted through and into the hulls ? Not lashed like the tiki’s. Is there any movement between the hull and the cross beam under sail ? Are the cross beams bedded on a rubber mat? Would like to know the details on that. Number and Diameter of bolts and what they are bolted too in the hull. Sorry I’ve never been on board this type of wharram to see myself. . Obviously the bolts work and are strong I’m just interested as this does seem to be a potential weak point as far flex fatigue wear and rot. Under those beams and what they are resting on would be hard to inspect... thanks
Good question. U know i was thinking the same kinda of thing and wondering the best boat building material so not to sand and paint and maybe fiberglass sanding/bonding every so years. i want a u boat. hahaha, continental steam liner make it electric/steam engine some how would or may do the job i want dreams be cool
If it's anything like Jim Wharram's "Tehini", the bolts will be backed by big chunks of rubber which allow for some flex. Flex is central to the Wharram design philosophy.
can you not do like the others, get a manufacturer to give you a boat , or do a deal , we know the others who are ., and your channel is better , but so is your boat !!
Look why is it hard to talk with you i love your work im 62 now and doesn't matter anyway I love Tangaroa, I see her yesterday Darwin on the hard,can you sell it to me cheap so someone else can enjoy this boat that was some much for you both,and maybe moving on . Captain Rocket
