I ...Hello Agur, and thank you for the compliments.<br /><br />I haven't been too prudent with a detailed materials/cost spreadsheet thus far, and cost could depend on a lot of factors. However, I think I will have around ten thousand invested once Beto is launched. This doesn't include cost of storage unit or anything (I just equate that to a slip fee). I used Joubert Okoume which I got half price from a friend who bought the wood and decided not to build ($45 a sheet vs $90 new). All of my rigging is going to be less than a grand. I have a custom aluminum mast which I have about $700 in. I have custom sails that were around $2,000. I've probably spend around $1200 in epoxy and fillers (I'm using Raka which is a bit cheaper here than West System). I plan to do a two part primer and paint in all one part for ease of maintenance. My trailer is just a hobie 16 trailer I paid $200 for and spent another $350 on new tires and materials to make the cradles. <br /><br />Lumber: $5-600<br />Plywood: $1,000<br />Epoxy: $1,000<br />Sails: $2200<br />Trailer: $600<br />Consumables: Who knows! <br />Clamps/Tools: $500 (Plan to sell after build)<br />Rigging: (Probably going to be around 1,000 or so)<br />Mast: $320 for pole and $400 (Ripoff!) for welding masthead plate and tangs<br />Fiberglass: +/- $4-500<br /><br />Hope that helps! I've been depressed now and again about costs, but when you figure you're getting a brand new vessel that can really sail anywhere with all new rigging and sails, ten grand really isn't a lot of cash. A Montgomery 15 runs about 28 grand new and is tiny! Tikis are fun to sail and have tons of deck space to relax on, so I don't regret my choice at all at this point. Let me know if you have any other questions!<br /><br />-BradBrad https://www.blogger.com/profile/15800757465333456553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075964242297657589.post-84982061144415043972014-12-29T03:10:51.591-08:002014-12-29T03:10:51.591-08:00Hi Brad,

I have been wandering around the web to find some decent information about Tiki 21 home build and your site is most informative and picturesque.<br /><br />For a while now I have been trying to make a selection which design to choose, I have been meditating a lot over different under 21ft cat and tri designs and so far seems Tiki 21 to be finest solution considering compromise between different factors.<br /><br />Now one of my friends is able to provide me with the room for boat building so Im ready to move on with the thing...<br /><br />Could you indicate approximate cost of materials or your Tiki? This would help me to place the last piece of puzzle...<br /><br /><br />best regards,<br />Agur<br />EstoniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
