Starting Out
If you’re a linear person and want to know how this whole drama started, then check out the first two posts to read about buying a Tiki 21 and then having it fall apart. After that was a partial rebuild and then a full rebuild both detailed below.
I separated blog posts into broad categories to help sort them. Categories are roughly building versus sailing. With, hopefully, a lot more sailing posts to come! Categories are listed below.
Blog posts may also have tags. Tags are generally a part of the boat or a construction technique. Check out the list of tags to peruse in that manner.
