Pahi 42 in Texas
This boat is still available on Sailing Texas http://sailingtexas.com/201201/swharrampahi42101.html
Wharrram Pahi 42 catamaran, 1995
Now actually in Texas! (Baytown)
Now is your chance to own a refurbished, wildly popular, rare, boat, and inherit instant membership in a fun, supportive community of Wharram owners.
I have more photos and can supply upon request.2013 Upgrades:
Entire deck repainted (see photos)
2 Hp 4-stroke Honda outboard for the portaboat
Full cockpit enclosure installed (see photos)
Below deck ALL lights replaced with LED's (hugely energy efficient)
Bottom just scraped this weekNew tender is 4 person portaboat. Photo attached.
Comes with signed copy of "Two GIrls Two Catamarans" famous sailing catamaran designer James Wharram.
I had intended to charter her out but all my partnerships fell through. I will consider owner-financing the vessel and would also consider a business partnership (charter).
She was built by Navy Captain Rbert Phillips who sailed her from Texas to Panama and back.
Since I have owned the vessel she has made the folowing journeys without incident:
Panama City Beach, FL to Riviera Beach FL
Riviera Beach,FL to Key West, FL
Key West to Clearwater, FL (January 2012)
Vermillion Bay to Galveston Bay, TX.
To Panama and beyond and also all the way up the east coast and back several times.
You might say she has circumnavigated the state of Florida.
She was sailed single-handed from Clearwater, FL to Vermillion Bay by a 70 year old captain.I have upgraded and/or replaced just about everything on the boat. Much of the work was done by Wharram expert Boatsmith in FLorida. Boat was pulled out of the water, pulled apart and every structural issue that could be found was repaired.
Beams completely repaired, refinished, and relashed
Brand new trampolines
Pod resurfaced and repainted
Bottom job performed
Hulls painted
Logos custom designed and applied

Well you know I haven't posted for a while. Some folks just won't send me stuff to post? So,,
thought that this was an interesting article about CRUISING. Sails and rigging cost a lot and most folks still need auxilleries. Here is an option to save all of that cost and trade it off for fuel. Or maybe go whole-hog and put a gigantor bimini full of solar and a couple of windmills and go 0-carbon? Bring it!

Pahi 26 in Ess Eff
Wharram Pahi 26 Catamaran - $5000 (napa county)
This is a very interesting design as it is ocean capable, beachable, trailerable and only weighs 1550 pounds. It is considered a coastal trekking boat but people have sailed them long distances. Glenn Tieman did a 10 year circumnavigation in his:
http://www.latitude38.com/LectronicLat/2005/1005/Oct14/Oct14.html
It is 14'3" in beam and consists of two hulls that are assembled with crossbeams that are lashed in place. The hulls and crossbeams are well built and are constructed of epoxy over plywood. The varnished interior is dry and in good condition but the exterior is in need of paint and some minor hatch repair. It is currently in the water without antifouling paint so will need a good scrape when it next comes out of the water.
It was built in California and first registered in 2003. I was told that it was cruised for a while including a trip up the CA coast and through the CA delta rivers. It has now sat for a couple of years and will need some work to get back in sailing condition.
It was rigged with 4 or 5 sailboard sails that could be mounted at different points on the deck however, I only have one sailboard mast and sail with the boat. It also has two 14' unstayed masts that don't have sails. My plan was to rerig it with the wingsail rig that is used on the Wharram Tikis'. Plans are available through the Wharram website.
http://www.wharram.eu/live/
It has an adjustable motormount but no outboard and no trailer. I can help move it locally and could help set it up on a trailer if that was desired.
If you were thinking of building one of these, this would save a lot of time and money. I'm asking $5000.

Tiki 30 for Sale
Mahiya is exceptional, with lots of attention to detail and many unique ideas and features. She is a custom, professionally built boat (at a licensed yard in the Philippines). I personally supervised and took part in the build. For 2 years, 6 days each week I and a well-trained, highly skilled crew worked meticulously and methodically. Construction started in January 2007. She was completed and launched December 2008, 23 months later. Outfitting continued for several years. After sailing in the Philippines for a year she was shipped to Florida. She is USCG Documented, and has a Jones Act waiver which allows her to be used for charter work (she has a Coastwise Endorsement).
She is unique in many ways. No costs were spared on building her. She was the first Tiki 30 ever strip planked. The hulls are beautiful. We used strips of lauan (a Philippine hard wood) milled on site and perfectly molded to create nice lines and eliminate the “step” at the water line. The hulls were then glassed inside and out using West System Epoxy and cloth. There is a 316 stainless strip run down the entire length of the keel for protection while beaching her.
She is powered by a Yamaha 9.9
The mast is carbon fiber, as is the aft net tube and the bimini frame, all custom built for me in New Zealand.
All 6 nets were custom build in Saint Petersburg, FL.
The working sails were made by Hyde Sails. The jib is on a Pro Furl (roller furling system) and has a foam luff added for better shape while furled.
The main sail has three reef points.
There is also a screecher sail on a continuous loop furler. All sails are on 2:1 purchases for ease of raising and she is set up for single handed sailing with all lines led back to cockpit.
All cockpit cushions are cut from marine closed cell floatation boat foam. All material is Sunbrella (cushions, bimini, sail covers, hatch covers, etc). And the thread used was also sunbrella.
She is completely outfitted:
- Auto helm 2000 with Remote Control
- VHF, SSB, HAM
- SPOT Satellite transmitter
- GPS
- Barometer
- Wireless Instruments (Tack Tick)
- EPIRB
- Sea Anchor with dedicated harness and lines
- 3 Sets of Ground Tackle
- 6 Solar Panels
- Dorade Vents on main cabins
- 2 Solar vents on every cabin (intake and exhaust)
- Lightning system
- Surge protection
- Lewmar Atlantic Series Hatches and lights
- LED lighting through out
- Sony Marine sound system (speakers inside and out)
- Pressure shower on aft net
- 2 heads
- Deck tent
- Mosquito nets
- Lots of extra line (dock lines, sheets, etc.)
- Dock box
- Dock whips
- Fenders (including 2 large inflatables)
- 10 ft folding skiff with Yamaha 2 hp
- And much, much more!
She cost me roughly $150,000 to build and outfit.
Will sell for $85,000.
