It might be ok to pick it up at the Wharram base but shipping to North America will be terribly expensive. <br />I don't know if they also want to offer Mana as plans only. Mana is attractive indeed. I like the mini keels, the projecting stem, the beam pockets doubling as mast beams, the size, the weight, the rig. commongroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479985507898545007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075964242297657589.post-41938532707282670552016-01-28T20:25:08.532-08:002016-01-28T20:25:08.532-08:00That would make sense.

I would use Tiki's Dutch rig. Cheaper because less epoxy I guess. Hinemoa is built on a framework. Less plywood too. Tiki seems to waste a lot of ply with the big cutouts in the frames. And yes your blog helped a lot to pictorially describe the building process.commongroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479985507898545007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075964242297657589.post-29430127840185854492016-01-20T09:21:17.836-08:002016-01-20T09:21:17.836-08:00Thanks for the compliments.

I think I remember the Hinemoa being cheaper to build for some reason. Maybe not. Definitely go with the Tiki Wingsail though.

I'd spend the 25 bucks or so to get the Study Plans. They have a ton of information and a full material list for the Tiki. All in all I spent around 10K USD with my trailer I believe.

I am not planning to sail the Tiki here, it's just too cold, ok for test sailing!commongroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479985507898545007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075964242297657589.post-87972441663586109642016-01-01T10:15:44.065-08:002016-01-01T10:15:44.065-08:00It was a pleasure guys - love the pics
