We went with scarf joins for our amateur Wharram catamaran build, encouraged by volunteer professional boat builders who helped out and guided us to learn the skill. It took much longer than the normal butt block method as noted in the Wharram Designs plans for our 12m Narai Mk IV, but now I am pleased with the results.
We are documenting our entire build in videos to share the process — by no means does this imply we know the 'best' way to do anything, but we are taking decisions based on varying advice from experienced boat builders in France and the UK and keeping in mind we're on a budget and want to get the boat in the water in two years.
Do you do scarf joins?
