... What are you going to pay your caulking seams ... Hello Jamie. I am going to use traditional caulking cotton or oakum to the plank seams, but I think I...
Hey Jamie. I didn't think much about trim when figguring where to place the water tanks on Clio. I'm a bit light aft overall. Planning to make some forms and...
The ballast is secured with a 3/8" stainless wire rope rove through the upper hole on each lead ballast ingot. At the forward end, I spliced one end to a pad...

Lovely quote from Errol, but you must remember he was sailing on the ZACA! ... I ... Francisco . ... Auckland N ... even ... to...
Quite right Victoria - I just have always loved that quote by Errol Flynn and this one from "Long Day's Journey into Night" by Eugene O'Neill "...bound for...
Though my sailing career is a severly limited one, I did have an experience like this about 20 years ago as I passed under the GG Bridge. The air shattered...
Victoria - An interesting note (only peripherally tied to Tahiti Ketch's by this thread): My father's Navy duty was on board ZACA during World War II. They...
HI Carolyn, I am very familiar with the Zaca having both produced a film showing for "In The Wake of the Zaca" and written about her in my book, the Sausalito...
Victoria -- So it was you who produced that film? Its great. We have it in our library and we gave a copy of it to my youngest brother for posterity's sake....
NO! I did not produce the film, that was Luther Green! I produced a showing of the film in conjunction with the Richardson's Bay Maritime Association and the...
Victoria - Thanks for the correction of my sloppy reading of your email re producing the showing of the film about ZACA. As to the 2nd Annual Tahiti Ketch race...
The moderator of this forum has suggested the possibility of having a Tahiti Ketch Race Cup as an award for the annual races. His suggestion for the cup design...
The last one I know of was in October 2005. Then they raced in the master mariners, but it's not the same.. Check with Jody. carolyn white <ccw_222@...>...
I assume that your kerosene lamps hang from light screens on the main shrouds. Where do you have the electric lamps mounted? I want to add electric lamps to...
On Vagabond, I have the red and white lights mounted on the cabins sides forward, an all-around on the Main masthead (doubles as an anchor light) and a stern...
Has anyone in this group either ACTUALLY HAD THEIR WOODEN TAHITI KETCH struck by lightening, or heard of anyone IN THEIR WOODEN TAHITI KETCH that was struck by...
OK, while not a Tahiti Ketch I will share this story. I had a 20' wooden sailboat get stuck by lightning while I was sleeping on the boat, in a marina. The...
Jamie. Well, I guess that answers my question. My CLIO is in the drink this Winter, and I'm planning to set up a simple lightening diversion system next...
To my knowledge, Thora has never had a direct strike, but my father did observe Saint Elmo's Fire during a thunderstorm on Lake Michigan. I was not aboard at...

Thanks, Paul - I hadn't considered the headstay/bobstay. And what you say makes sense about other boats' aluminum masts. Any major ancorage can guarantee two...
Hey, Everyone. This is Felix, aboard CLIO. I'm homeported at the navy shipyard in the Piscatequa River, on the border of ME and NH. Last summer, I sailed up to...
I agree with the prior messages. The headstay/bobstay/chainplate combo is the way to keep lightning volts on the outside of the hull and minimizing potential...
