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
down for recent posts, or click on the links to read the full version of the blog in a new window.
Lots more photos are posted there as well.

Island Time Online was my original started in 2005. I don't update this one anymore, as the
Scott's Boat Pages blog 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

Scott's Boat Pages is an ongoing commentary on boatbuilding, sea kayaking, and sailing and
cruising in simple boats. In this blog I share with you my passion for the water and my
perspective on all things nautical. Look for my thoughts on boat design, gear, and essential
skills for exploration on both river and sea, and read reviews of equipment, books, and other
online resources to help you break free of the shore.
