13.01.2022 INTRODUCING AirCnC I am creating an international network of Wharram owners, all around the world, who might be prepared to host other Wharramistas on their Wharram vessel. The name for this network is AirCnC, similar in concept to AirBnB, but based on Wharram design sailing vessels.... My contribution, from about March 2020, will be a Tiki 30' based in Sydney Harbour, Broken Bay, Port Stephens, Magnetic Island near Townsville or close to the Barrier Reef in North Queensland. AirCnC is designed to get access to a Wharram in a nice location, for people who do not have time for long distance cruising, or for people who want to experience sailing on a specific design of Wharram vessel. HOW IT WORKS AirCnC is just a network for linking up Wharramistas across the world It is free to join AirCnC People then work out the details between themselves for a free guest cruise day, a bare boat charter or a skippered charter I know a lot of Wharram owners would be wary of lending their boat out. So in those cases the business model will be more like a skippered charter. AirCnC will not be involved in any arrangement you reach with another Wharramista to enjoy some sailing on your catamaran. WHARRAMISTAS ARE ALREADY NATURAL NETWORKERS There is a great history of helping each other and offering some sailing time on their Wharram, so that potential buyers can experience sailing a specific Wharram vessel before buying one So why not take the next step and share your vessel with other Wharramistas? It may even be a way of covering some of your boat costs and living expenses while on a long cruise! John Young AirCNC Convenor [email protected]

05.01.2022 Design philosophy. James Wharram catamarans. "These boats aren’t often seen in our yachting harbours, for a simple reason: they sail far, very far, where there ...are no marinas, in the land of the sun, where these strange catamarans quietly pull on their anchor chain, while their crews relax and laze about on the trampoline... A boat designed by James Wharram is like no other boat. It is a catamaran. But James Wharram’s catamarans are like no other catamarans. Moreover, the owners of Wharram Boats are not like other people either. They seem inspired by a kind of faith, they seem to be on a quest for a certain quality of life, which finds its fulfilment in the realization of their boat. The Wharram is above all a state of mind. These boats are designed for living on the water, a minimalist version of the cruising multihull; they are created to cast off for the sunniest parts of the planet, preferably between 20o latitude North and 20o latitude South. The only possible connection between a catamaran mass-produced in one of our French x- or other boatyards, and a boat designed by James Wharram, is the number of hulls. Beyond that, everything is different: the motors, the rigging, the liveability, the materials and the cost. The concept from the start of Wharram’s Polynesian catamarans is expressed in their simplicity. Why be complicated when you can be something simple?"
