I have a friend who is in the process of building one of James Wharram's Tiki 30 catamarans. There are lots of innovative features to these boats which are both simple and pleasing to look at. One of the most innovative features that I have seen on these boats is the use of parachute cord as locker lid hinges. Both cheap, very strong and surprisingly effective the cord is probably stronger than many a proprietary hinge. In fact the hinge idea works so well that it has even adapted and adopted a similar method for attaching the rudders to the boat. Brilliant, I wish I had thought of it first.
