The Gleda Project

A quick post to highlight yet another Tiki 38 build I’ve just become aware of. It’s Tiki 38 No 130 and she’s being built in Geneva, Switzerland by Olivier Roux. If memory serves Daniel Ganz built ‘Marabu’ in Switzerland  as well. Two Tiki 38′s from a completely land-locked country, fantastic! Olivier has started by building [...]

Thanks to my friend Jacques Pierret for drawing my attention to the build of another Wharram Tiki 38 that’s just started in the U.S.- New York to be precise. The boat is to be called ‘Mon Tiki’ and is being built by David Ryan who is owner of a charter sailing company in Montauk. What’s [...]

I thought it’d be a good idea to resurrect this register. It’s pretty outdated but it’s a start. Wouldn’t it be great to find out more about the other Tiki 38′s out there? The form below auto-updates the full Google Docs Spreadsheet which can be viewed HERE. By the way I’ve hidden the e-mail column on [...]

After 6000 Nautical miles of cruising my friend Martin Hivon and his family are moving on to new things and, as a result his beautifully built Tiki 38 ‘Al Raso’ is for sale.

Typical isn’t it. You wait ages for a nice video of a Tiki 38 sailing and then two come along at once! Actually this one is quite old in that it dates back to January of this year but Warren has only just put it up on YouTube It’s his brand new Wharram Tiki 38 [...]

I’ve neglected this site for far too long and it hurts. I’m still fighting to keep the Gleda Project moving forward but there’s nothing to report regarding the build itself. I haven’t seen the sea since January 2nd and the dream of launching and sailing ‘Gleda’ seems as far away as ever. My spirits have been lifted [...]

At these times when life demands more time than I have and getting Gleda on the water seems a lifetime away it’s fantastic to hear from others who have gone before, completed their boats and are now out there reaping the fruits of their labour. There’s no one I like reading more than Beat Rettenmund [...]

Hi all , I’m back after a super relaxing break in Portugal and now I must pay the price! So much work to do over the next few months I don’t know where to start! Its been all go elsewhere in the Tiki 38 world over the past few weeks. Martin Hivon now has ‘Al [...]
