Element is the name I chose for the 15-year-old Wharram Tiki 21
catamaran that I purchased after loosing my cruising monohull to
Hurricane Katrina in 2005. I completed the restoration of it and used it
for daysailing and beachcruising out of Biloxi.  The Tiki 21 was the
first of James Wharram's "coastal trekking" catamaran designs -
intended to be light enough to trailer, yet seaworthy enough to
explore the offshore waters of the open coast.  I've since sold the 21
to concentrate on building my Tiki 26.  See highlights below, or click
the links to read the full blog, all of which is archived online for future
reference to other Tiki 21 sailors/builders.
Element II, a James Wharram designs Tiki 26, is my latest boatbuilding
project.  This blog is documenting the construction of the vessel, which
began in January, 2007.  I've chosen the Tiki 26 catamaran as the ideal
boat for the kind of cruising and exploration I prefer to do.    Scroll

Island Time Online was my original started in 2005.  I don't update
this one anymore, as the Scott's Boat Pages blog (soon to seen in
the feed on my home page) is now my main catch-all blog for the
kind of general and varied boating topics started in this one.  I've
even moved a few of the posts from here to the new one.  I'm
leaving all the orginal posts online as they were though, so if you're
interested you can find the full version here: Island Time Online
