The Gleda Project

I first came across Jay via his book Sailing with Purpose: The Pursuit of the Dreamas the title suggests his philosophy has always been that our activity on this planet should have a purpose, that we should contribute, and that our experiences should be authentic. I have seen Jay described as ‘an opinionated SOB’ and I doubt [...]

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.

Today I just spent a couple of hours sanding and tidying up from yesterdays gluing and also corrected [...]

Jacques Pierret was kind enough to share this video by Alexis Pierret of his newly launched Tiki 38 ‘Pilgrim’ sailing in close (and I do mean close, check 3 minutes in!) company with Ann & Neville Clement’  Tiki 46 ‘Peace IV’. “Peace IV” was built in the UK and launched in 2002, Ann and Neville [...]

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 [...]

Well it’s been a long long time folks but this time I’m back for good! I hope you all like the new site, please let me have your comments good or bad I’d really like to hear what you think. I had a tough task extracting all the journal entries from my old site as [...]
