Nothing but quality, crew having fun amongst the paradise of the south western Caribbean in a region of Panama called San Blas. Beautiful pristine beaches and islands literally in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes the girls are in bikinis, sometimes we are sailing, sometimes we spearfish and have beach barbecues. Basically fun in the sun. Did I mention crystal clear waters, coral and deserted islands? How beautiful is that Wharram catamaran.
Just watch the video....can't give it all away.

Seriously good content Peter. The Wharram would be a very good match for you. It really compliments much of your needs and thoughts on a great boat.

[@russellesimonetta3835]

Tiki 48 is awesome. The Wharrams have a stellar safety record. Been described as an ocean crossing VW camper.

[@thelaughingprophet2275]

Ocean landrover was my favourite description!

[@robingraham6820]

“The LandRover of the Sea”👍

[@lynetteaustin]

I'm a huge wharram fan! Waking up to a video from my favourite sailing channel with the subject wharram just made my day!!

[@vivianeriesterer4279]

the wharram seems to be a great boat, so many ingenious inventions , sure you can put some of these on use in your own build mumby

[@petnzme]

YESSS! K.I.S.S.... KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID! I'm a Wharram fan. You could "single hand" the pahi if you had to. Maintenance is wood, glue, rope and Sharp blades. Flexing vs Rigid? Flexing any day. Boats should not be rigid on a flexible ocean. Oh and the wing sail?💕 Sadly James Wharram passed away earlier this year but his legacy will live on in his adaptation of ancient polynesian design in a modern era. The Wharram is you dude. I like the Tiki.

[@Antipodean33]

It's not a wing sail, it's more like a wind surfer rig.

[@mmac4047]

Hannake boon carries on the legacy they both build for 40 plus years

[@NigelMartinhome]

Amazing Wharram. Love the ancient tech. Impressive. 👍😎

[@sterling19]

Loved seeing a Wharram that has clearly been loved by her owner! Getting Kiana Weltzien along on your next adventure would be a great shout.

[@muklin]

Loved this episode Plukky, can't wait to see that Movie!!

[@sakray2]

This channel is the best sailing channel! I've watched all episodes from the start, hell of a ride ! :D

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

And it keeps on going.... No matter what

[@petergroves9343]

What a beautiful vessel the Wharram is, Matt certainly has a passion for a quality yacht

[@hogroamer260]

Love the ingenuity - deployable props, swim ladder etc.

[@donnakawana]

I'm excited for the mommy I'm excited for the dyneema and the simplicity of that rigging you got this plucky.! You really are a great person. Thanks for sharing your life with us ✌🏻💗😊❣️

[@looksea2me]

I am a fan of the Wharram great boats affordable and sustainable.

[@jamiegurner3172]

never seen a boat like it bloody good idea. thanks for sharing

[@vudu5vudu]

Love the Wharram. Simple and, importantly, accessible. Dyneema over stainless? Definitely.

[@tomriley5790]

Seems to be a great boat, well thought out and designed.

[@roadboat9216]

I love the Wharrams. Always have.

[@briansmythe3000]

Wow sweet Tour Bro 55 footer wow never seen one that big Love the warrems

[@Anne6621]

i love how they made the galley , real cool ship

[@ae7v]

Pretty cool boat. Like the simplicity

[@bertieb9510]

Love the Wharram. Almost built one myself. Wish I had.

[@nickshahid5082]

Beautiful boat Plukky. Your viewers may be interested to know Rory McDougall held the world record for smallest multihull to circumnavigate. He did it in a tiny and legendary Wharram Tiki 21 he named 'Cooking Fat'. Hope to meet you one day on my own Tiki 21. Cheers!

[@juniorjr4815]

Really like the boat, she's a beauty. 👊😎

[@mannatuu]

Lovely boat and the principles well explained . I've got a Hitia 17 , but optimally I'd have a tiki 30 / 36 tops

[@SeaJapan]

Lovely video thank you! Great to see a non-Wharram KZbinr on a Wharram. For you to do a personal Wharram to a Mumby comparison video would be great to see.

[@braithmiller]

Second that. Wharram style in fill building adapts well to any vessel. The hydro style could have it's place in the ElCano build.

[@homeydontplaydat8387]

She’s making bread on a wharram! Love it!!

[@peternairn4474]

Hi, the ideas in wharam that you and friends kindly showed us are very futuristic, avoiding the costly ransom of marine hardware and a better greener ride, I'm sure some of these ideas could adopted by mono's,, thanks for sharing your new journey s

[@Syulang-nt4kj]

I love it and I want one...

[@Thedrifter1]

This is only the second time I've commented on you channel, to to busy enjoying the content and thumbs up. But yea bud 100% correct, S/S isn't what it used to be, you know 316 s/s should never rust, certainly not in three weeks. You know what all you cruisers are missing? A place of your own to pull your boat out and do work yourselves with a kitted out workshop. I'm not in in the water yet and just started out on YT. {I've been to busy 9-5} In the near future Plukky, I'd be up for chipping in for a place we can all use for ourselves while running it as a business. Food for thought. Great content bro, fair winds.

[@braithmiller]

Always love the Wharrams. Easy self make everything. Can't see the design use ending.

[@lancemarriott9671]

What a fantastic boat!

[@thierrybilson9634]

Wharram - do it Plucky. They are the bits mate.

[@jamesdaley1852]

good boat

[@julianshalders6047]

This guys a genius, keep things simple with the laws of physics, low maintenance, easy to fix , this guys sails any where . All the stainless steel is made in China, just shit , not enough nickel in the products. Peter you could build something like this ⛵👌👍🙏

[@dennisgabriel9641]

Super fascinating. Good episode.

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Nice video👍 Can't knock proven theory! Even the old Galleon's and ship's like Cook's Endeavour were considered the perfect size for circumnavigation to ride up & down with big swell and not break in half like the super tankers.

[@homeydontplaydat8387]

I want a wharram so badly. It’s my sail off and forget everything but the sea boat!

[@melinda5777]

I likes the boat you toured. Pretty neat. Still pushing for the Mumby, have complete confidence in YOU!!! I pray your spirits is up today! I'll check out that other video and post what I think about that to ya. 🙏❤️🇺🇸⛵️🤙🍹🍻

[@davidfisher268]

Good one could have watched more!

Brilliant, amigo. Might be time to go aluminium.

[@svaty9205]

Heya , did you have a look at the wharram islander 39? Build only in the Philippines .

[@seanyowies8532]

Give us another at this’ peoples. A big thumbs up 👍

[@mikedickman2021]

Thanks

[@timreynolds1195]

Love the Wharram. We built the hulls for a Tiki 46 on my property 3 years back. It's launched and sailing in Florida now. I know he would welcome you on board. He has a yt channel, not sure its ok to mention the name but Im sure you can find it.

[@donquesenberry]

Take a look at the 316 stainless steel incorporates about 2 to 3 percent molybdenum, very interesting seeing the different types of boats that are out there.

[@svoceanskimmer7073]

Peter, Are you going to make it to the Annapolis boat show this year,?? Peter

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Yes

[@evanlewis5347]

Wharram looks like a great boat design. An economical way to sail safely around the world.

[@miguelmunozmunilla]

It is perfect to you. Special with style.

I love the Wharrams

Sailing into Freedom 1, Lagoon 0 !

[@NewZealandPakeha]

Boat reviews man 👍 Do more of them. Thought warram were crap but after seeing the simplicity. Can see the advantages

[@nautichunt84]

I have always had a soft spot for the wharram's, what are your thoughts on a dynema rig on a 40 foot steel Br spray ketch? We are due to replace our rigging and i have been thinking about going dynema where possible

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Do it

[@johnmajewski1065]

I fully rerigged my 15 open 15 meters, saved 240 kilos by removing S/S rigging, and replaced it with 30 kilos of Dyneema Rigging. As of interest, My boat is Aluminum rigging turnbuckles that don't rust as they are made in NZ from quality S/S. That Wharram is a delight, clearly by its condition and systems it confirms a big design love affair by the owners. SV Skoiern IV

[@pnr9730]

A mad Kiwi mate I met on the Darwin to Ambon yacht race had a Wharram I think it was a around 40ft. Ya Plucky get up em mate about the stainless not even worth pissing on or it will rust faster lol🤣

[@Slickboot21]

Being a Land Lubber, I couldn't get a good overview of the angles of design. Need some drone footage of this one. Maybe I'll just Google it. Thanks for sharing. -- Texas

[@tomriley5790]

In terms of Stainless steel it's about how you specify it - there's various different grades of "stainless steel"

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Yes but 316 is not 316 like in the 70s

[@wangofree]

Living his dream 😊

[@bryanbadger6841]

G'day from down under here in EnZed. FYI Peter, see if you can lay your hands on one of James Wharram early books. Maybe the first?? "Two Girls, Two Catamarans." There's both hard copies and soft cover copies available from Amazon. He talks about designing and sailing his original vessel. It was originally published 1969. Just done my research, and yes it was his first. And there was the series of vlogs by Stewart and Zaya on "Lucky Fish " with an episode almost entirely on relashing their Wharram Cat. That may have been at Easter Island from memory. Again many thanks for sharing your experiences Peter. Until next time, take care.

[@LoremIpsum1970]

Wow. I want one!

[@deankoch7305]

Yes I think that would be a great boat for you.

Grea boat review

[@paul_gradenwitz]

I helped to build a warram 8.5 metre boat when I was in high school. Later the teacher decided to sell it and I delivered that boat to the new owners. Since then I haven't heard of that boat.

[@ondi37]

I love you Plucky!!! Your soooo handsome!! I wait weekly to see your videos. I'd love to come aboard as crew sometime :) 😉😘

Well you are only human 😁

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Not for the cuddles but for promoting adventurous females and not to forget a pretty face to help my channel along

[@johnwalker6711]

What about the KSS Kelsal cats

[@jonathanvince8173]

I was wrong people were telling me at this time Aluminum is the better way as with the modern paints and then add Plastic heated covering over it is best way As the UK under a certain Prim ministers shut down the worlds best Stainless steel that was made only in the UK. It was so good that in the 1950s up to early 1990s was used in top class oil rigs and never rusted or corroded.

[@PlayingwthCreation]

Do you have contact details for Mumby please? Austrian sailor rescued 111km off WA coast 03/09/22. He flipt a cat.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Look up Life on Jupiter on KZbin. He will know

[@Bm-ri7ks]

Plucky these wharrams seem to be piquing your interest, are you thinking of incorporating some aspects into your build?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Not really. The Mumby is very stiff.... It's opposite

[@geoGELLER]

plukky / this wharram is you / your style is all over wharram / i love the idea and those Polynesians knew what they were doing with they knew to make things flexible to roll with the punches / like punching your fist in water it surrounds and absorbs the force of the punch / i love this idea outrigger boat / which reminds me of a story / i found a dug out canoe in west coast of mexico and built an outrigger canoe modeled after what i remembered the Polynesian's / i lashed wooden round tree trunks to the boat and made a mast out of a tree trunk and a converted a palm frond matt that i bought into a sail and i remembered hearing about the Polynesians using fifty five gallon empty drums that they tied/lashed to the outriggers / the problem was the 55 gallon drums were too high in the water and the wind was pushing them too as if they were sails and the rudder was an oar that i lashed to the stern but i didn't have enough control of the boat plus on one side of the bay a whale was jumping out of the water and on the other side a huge manta ray was too / and there was only one boat in the bay at the time / i told him if i hang the water bottles from the mast it meant i was in trouble / well to make a long story short i had to be rescued by a Brown Catamaran and towed back out of harms way other wise i would still be out to sea for sure / the wind was coming off the land / oh after that adventure i met a guy who showed me his diving feeds with sharks bite in them too / he was swimming near the mouth of a fresh water river / but i can see you on a Warram

[@rickcreel3657]

A modified yurt with a lower slope to the roof would be hurricane proof. The forward boom could be lifted higher to make room for the yurt. Also the yurt could cover over one half the hulls, and make hull access from inside the yurt. This would give room for the up galley, and main saloon on the bridge deck. Wharrams are devided like an egg carton, and are more like camping out than a condo. Make the foward mast taller, and lift the same main sail higher for the yurt clearance. If the boat was made of bamboo, and twice the strength of aluminum it would be one fourth the weight of aluminum. Check with the Auzzie Wayne with sailing Mangrove Charlie he found marine boards, and plywood. He put foils on his rudders, and bows.

[@keepingourpubliclandsopen1671]

What about just using galvanized as opposed to stainless?

[@braithmiller]

Not yachty enough? I use it on rigging.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

I did. It lasts less than 2 years... Even meeting beeswax on them didn't do any good

I like these Wharram. Old tech tried and tested. I want a cat I could run straight at a beach and it just slide right on. Great for the Polynesian islands.

Good stainless steel stuff still comes out of Germany...........Marinetech.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Thanks ... Will check

[@stevehammond2016]

Well , you asked .

[@themadjedi2488]

Could this type of boat be a contender for Elcano challenge or is the Mumby just better suited to the task. Not really a sailing person (love to surf tho) just really enjoy the Sh%ts and giggles.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Mumby is faster and rigid to sail even faster.

[@Antipodean33]

It's interesting how some people think the Polynesians and other islanders just "tip toed" around the seas whilst the Europeans stomped around plundering everywhere and everything. This fellow obviously missed Cooks journals talking about the islanders massive war canoes . Or the Maori's when they first showed up in NZ 800 or so years ago and started killing the people they found there, effectively colonizing the place and taking it all for themselves

[@george-hy8yk]

wharram & friends is a great website for wharram oweners and interested people. they have never had a wharram capsize . james wharram was one of the first white men to design multi hull sail boats. james sailed around the world with his wife and girl friend on a 60 ft wharram. wharram sells plans for their many designs of multihulls but doesnt build them.

[@peterbryan3295]

Wanted a boat tour not a bloody history lesson on building the thing.

[@SvMobyduck]

Got a wharram 28 or some odd at the marina. It's gorgeous, see the man playing around on it. He loves his boat. Never seen it leave the slip, but I'd take it for a ride almost anyday. There is another on the hard in the yard still being built production seems to have stalled once they got the hulls together. Too bad it's a big one. In all I love the designs of wharram. Very impressed Matt gave the Polynesians their dues on this one. Btw, James wharram was the og 2 chicks one dude on a green cat sailing across the ocean 😂 pay tribute to the forefathers. Not that you need to have the wierd love triangle thing going on. Good tour Peter! Thanks!

[@mikeriddell176]

I have already proposed a Wharram for your next boat. Much more simple to build and maintain with your skills. No more hassle with getting hardware sent across the world. Telegraph pole masts. No electrolysis. Tar anti fouling slapped on on a beach at low tide. Repairable on a tropical island. Seems the obvious boat for your type of cruising. Back to basics. Go for it. You may even start a new trend with you knac of story telling.

[@johnphillips519]

I agree👍

To me, the Lagoon is an AWESOME catamaran, I mean they are absolutely perfect, but only when you keep them in a lagoon. If you wander out of the lagoon you're going to end up with all types of issues. lol.

You can thank the Chinese for the poor quality of stainless! Anyway I love the wharram, s especially the bamboo idea! Cheers Plucky

[@meadmaker4525]

Plucky, you're a hero, bro!! Taking us aboard that beautiful Wharram Pahi for a tour!! Wharram has a few different hull shapes out there, but the Pahi is my personal favorite. What a beauty. I knew you'd like it. They're simple, rugged, easily maintained, fast, and sea-kindly. What's not to like? The owner's solution to the lifting prop-shafts was a really interesting adaptation of the outboard pods you typically see on Wharrams. Makes sense, and definitely suits the boat. Thanks again for taking us along on this one. Really enjoyed it.
