We are breaking the boat down for final painting. Here is our most current video. http://youtu.be/_H7bPVDA6qw
Boatsmith,
Looking at the youtube video, either you are a very tall man or that roof is very short.
The owners was in and we set the boat up a little for them.

She is looking really good! Love the cockpit and those Blue hulls look very sleek.
Thank you for the updates.

(yes, she does look nice)
Nothing works on an old boat, except the skipper.
And it's a monohull!![]()
My wife and I had sailing vacations in greek islands for our honeymoon on a Pahi 53 at Greek Water Yachts a couple of years ago and the berths on it were huge. I am 1.80m and my wife is 1.75m. Plenty of rooms. Great value for a Greek islands tour if anyone is looking to do the Greek islands on a budget. I will do this sailing trip again
Has it hit the water yet
not yet. here is a video of current progress

Thanks Steve. No one is anticipating splashing more than I.
We moved the hulls of our Ariki to Crackerboy Boatworks in Riviera Beach today. Before disassembly yesterday we shot one final video here in the shop.

We have launched the boat and attended to innumerable details. Still more to do but very close now. The owner spent the holidays in the keys on Bazinga with his family. The boat worked very well and sailed nicely.
