Lovely boat and good videos. One question - why not make the deck pod lockers self-draining ?

I've been following your videos for a year now, and find them inspiring. I'm considering building a Tiki 26 myself. I'm also looking at the Woods Merlin, though it doesn't have the carrying capacity the Tiki has.
I noticed you didn't have any weather stripping inside your locker lids. That would help keep water out. Wind can force water between the top of the locker and the lid. You may have the same problem with your hatch covers. I don't know what's available in Slovenia, but here in North America, we have self-adhesive high-density foam tape used for sealing windows and doors. It works well on boat hatch-covers, as well. I'd put it inside the locker covers and hatch covers where they mate with the locker and hatch rims. There are various widths and thickness that you can choose to suit your purpose.
At the building time, I hadn’t really anticipated what a catamaran would bring to my lifestyle. Now, the catamaran has been at the same port for ten years. Even if I don’t go down for a whole winter, I definitely go in the spring time. If nothing else, it has to be checked if any water has been blown into the hulls or under the cover. Everything needs to be carefully wiped and dried out. If you leave water in a covered space unattended in the spring time when the sun is gaining strength, you will be surprised by a lot of mould in the cabins at your next visit. http://tiki26.com Subscribe Us For More Videos. https://www.youtube.com/user/MatjazChvatal Follow Us Visit Our Official Website http://tiki26.com/ Catamaran ARIKI Leading Internet Entrepreneur just made success possible and realistic, even for the "little guy" - changed the game.
