Wishing You All the best from Oz. Best looking happiest wharram i can recall, and those dogs are too cute, absolute snuggle monsters 😊. P.s. boat looks very well built, and plenty of clever, practical, durable and simple implementations. You are obviously so proud, cheers 🍻
Congratulations! I can't believe you have 3 jibs, that's fantastic, looking forward to see y'all wrap your head around sailing her. Also, 0:38 James Wharram would LOVE this shot :P. Keep them coming but don't stress out about creating content, enjoy the life first! Almost forgot, I'd love to see how you take a reef on your gaff rig.
That paint-job is so West Indian, love it. You'll want some baggywrinkle or some plastic sheath on your after shrouds before your shiny new Ratsey's sails suffer chaff. I'm thinking to set up my T38 with tackles on the aft shrouds so the leeward one can be slacked off like it were a running backstay. As well as easing the chaff problem, it should allow the gaff to swing a little further to leeward when trying to dump power from the sail in a squall
@@ZigZagSailing_113 You're probably right, but polyester on polyester after a hundred thousand rubs? I wonder if that's true (I've no idea, just interested...)
you guys are daring to live on a 30 ft tiki i had a 38 ft tiki and there was just enough room for two. you might want to build a bow spirit so you have a place to stand when working up on the jib. it would make it easier to install a roller furling so you could reduce sail easier. good luck
Roller furling comes with its own set of risks too. In my opinion better to have three jibs than one large one. Also we can reduce windage easier by taking the jib off the head stay completely.

We have three jibs and they all have one reef point. We are almost ready to sail off to St. Martin.

We have dyneema rigging so I don’t think chafe will be an issue
