I've watched this video probably 50 times, this is one beautiful wharram great job love it

[@AlfonsdeWert]

This is absolutely the best Wharram I've ever seen. Great cockpit design: very practical and great workmanship! Unquestionably the best Ariki ever! My compliments. And for the owner: ... enjoy! :-)

Alfons de Wert thanks Afons

Congratulations to the entire BoatSmith crew on a wonderful result from a tremendous effort!

[@boatsmthfl]

thank you

[@dinkaboutit4228]

Very nice. One of the few Warrham style I've ever seen that didn't look like a second hand prop from Waterworld.

[@boatsmthfl]

Dinka Boutit thanks

[@boatsmthfl]

Thankyou

[@fitnessdevolution]

I didn't think I even wanted a boat, but you had me with that sinker cypress. From there, it all made sense! Cheers...

[@boatsmthfl]

Right on thanks!

[@rogermace4516]

Fantastic Job That is one of the most thought out sail boats I have ever seen. Wish I had the money to get one .

[@adezone866]

I agree. A big improvement on some of the Tiki model cats that I've already seen. It's still basically the same size and shape hull and platform design. The difference is in the clever use of limited space to pack in the instrumentation as well as the creature comforts. Alas, I can only go sailing in my dreams.

[@meadmaker4525]

Beautiful cat. Probably my favorite interpretation of the Wharram design yet. Wonder how much she sold for? A dream boat for sure. I particularly like the single central covered living area as opposed to the multiple tiny pods you typically see on Wharram's designs. I wonder if he's ever done any Pahi builds?

[@calvingarrett3245]

Hello sir that was a nice tour of your boat I like the way you have everything set up easy and convenient very nice.

[@danfall1003]

Excellent work David. This is the first time I have seen the final video. I am definitely going to gutter my rooftop for the free water idea.

[@launchsquid]

I'd like to add to the requests for some performance figures, if possible. That deck layout is awesome, so much room, and I really like the nav station with all the info on the big screen. I've watched this vid at least 3 times now, just daydreaming.

[@LinRonald]

Well done ! I have been waiting to see the end result. It looks great!

[@boatsmthfl]

Thanks Lin

[@djw6850]

As a boatbuilder, all I have to say is very nicely done indeed!

[@djw6850]

As a marine systems guy, all I have to say is good luck with the lightning system....if you think lightning strikes from the sky to the earth in a 'luck of the draw' manner this may be a good idea, but if lightning is an exchange of potentials from the ground up....hmmm....may this boat always be in the sun.

[@boatsmthfl]

Thanks DJW

[@shoutatthesky]

@@djw6850 How is this so different from any other boat though?

[@adezone866]

Great rig... I've seen earlier Tiki class catamarans and they were quite Spartan and open to the elements except for the crawl space in the hulls. Here you have made major improvements with the spray canopy, which can be closed like a full tent for privacy or for rough weather, or opened up in fair weather sailing. I imagine that would make a boat feel more like a home. I'm not a boat owner - just an admirer.

[@adezone866]

PS: It's truly amazing how many home comforts can be built into such tiny spaces with a bit of thoughtful design. I don't know why the 12 dislikes - Perhaps they are looking for an ocean liner (tee-hee). I wish you well with your voyages.

[@gamingwithtoennel227]

Very unique interpretation of the wharram philosophy! Looks really beautiful, elegant hull lines. I'd be interested in the sailing characteristics. Make a video how the Cat sails.

[@BubbaBrazille]

I'd love to meet the owner who would spend this much on a Wharram. Must be a genuine character. Beautiful boat. Beautiful work.

[@symesmith6992]

+Chris Rush Dudley This seems to me more like a synthesis combining the best elements of Polynesian catamaran design for practical sailing along with modern materials and technology and the builder's own ideas thrown into the mix.

[@boatsmthfl]

Thanks

[@PedroScursel]

amazing! congrats sir and construction team

[@randalljohnson4160]

I'm not sayin' you've thought of everything, but if not, you're pretty damn close. You should be very proud

[@rosshubbard3820]

Beautiful work!

[@ZoneTelevision]

The icing on the cake would be to see how she sails. Then I'd be sold.

[@Errol.C-nz]

followed ALL David Halladays youtube clips on the build & launch...all several times...facinating details...would have loved a followup on the final boats vital statistics 😍 & performance figures outcome...would looove to know give the extensive weight saving efforts

[@boatsmthfl]

The boat weighed 20,000 lbs when fueled watered and loaded with dinghy and tools. That is not from a travel lift, we weighed her with load cells.

[@Errol.C-nz]

BoatSmith thanks David...are there any plans to video a real sail & performance test...not asking what Bazinga cost, but whats a basic production build of this cost us...less sails & rigging, different ideas on that...you have done a wonderful job

[@dustman96]

Very nicely done!

[@gabrielsoul6856]

Great boat! Another dream came true. Just saw the "For sale" sign. Why..?

[@scottanson7524]

Wow that's a great sail !! You all did great job ! What kinda money is invested in that baby & what's the next project ? Thanks for the look

[@boatsmthfl]

Thanks Scott. A boat like Bazinga will set you back close to $800,000. We are now working on a new 50'er and completing a new Tiki 8m for the Wharram Hui in Fort Meyers May 18

[@harrybloom9213]

This is just brillant! But? where are the wings?

[@WRPUS471]

Do all Wharram's designs have dagger boards? This a very well thought out design.

[@emersonduncan56]

Not usually. The V shape of the hulls gives the directional stability to a normal Wharram.

[@RF-yh3qh]

Nice boat, looks smooth surface with all the paint... how you manage to do it?

[@boatsmthfl]

Thanks RF it is a fiberglass boat. Lots of sanding

[@vgaulin]

Amazing catamaran. Would you built me a Pahi 31?

[@boatsmthfl]

sure

[@vgaulin]

BoatSmith I just bought the study plan for the Pahi 31. Trying to see if I am crazy enough to start a project like this on my own or if I should get it built. Anyway still analyzing what would suit my crazyness better a refit of an old catamaran or a new built!!!

[@terranborn56]

I thought the whole point of Wharran was affordable DIY. This looks as expensive as most other cats.

[@boatsmthfl]

Keep thinking

[@terranborn56]

Saying that it's not as expensive? Less expensive than a Gemini?

[@boatsmthfl]

terranborn56 it costs easily twice what a Gemini does. It also is twice the size with an awful lot of goodies as well

[@jdag1253]

Are you guys still building catamarans? The content on you blog and youtube has gone away on the subject.

[@boatsmthfl]

Still at it jdag12

[@Interdiction]

Shame the wharram hull design is not the best .So much time and effort should have been put to better use on a better type of hull design

[@cartmanrlsusall]

I wondered if someone would put dagger boards on a wharram,I bet it flies down wind

[@mikemckelvey7144]

I think you'll find they aren't used down wind.

[@mierbeuker8148]

Why did you not get a big screen at the nav table. Then you would not get so tired from focusing on the info, and then you would not need that bottle of rum you got stashed in the cupboard. YES I DID SEE IT!! XD

[@boatsmthfl]

Mier Beuker might work for some folks. Everyone’s screen size/ rum quota is different

[@mierbeuker8148]

I know. I got a small screen. My bottle does not even fit in my cupboard.

[@valvetrom]

you must have a lot of windresistance

[@riverratshantyshack3209]

You've turned what was once a simplistic design of the Wharram into a mega yacht. What a shame!

[@boatsmthfl]

Well I'm not sure it rates as a mega-yacht, but I get your drift. We would be happy to build one for you with bamboo crabclaw and a poly-tarp sail with kerosene lamps. Sharpen up your pen bro! Let us see what your dream looks like.
