    In case anyone is interested in one of these as opposed to building one, I just happened to see this today from the SF bay area. It's not mine and I do not having any connection to the person selling it:

    We delivered the first Ariki to its' joyful owner last week.We built the hulls with decks,houses,bulkheads, floors,bunktops,hatches,companionways,rub rails/lashing strakes and the four major beams and two net beams. Dex will finish it from here. Here is a short video of the delivery and set-up. Two more two build ad these two will be finished, well equipped boats.

    Great job, David- and thanks for putting up those vids- they are a real good source of ideas for homebuilders as well as great advertising for you.

    May your business flourish!
