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

  • Tiki 21 in New Jersey

     This is posted on Sailing Texas  http://sailingtexas.com/201301/swharramtiki21101.html
    Wharram Tiki 21 Coastal Trek Catamaran, Rahway, New Jersey
  • w/ ready-to-go Galv. Trailer, $4,000
  • LOA: 21'
  • Beam 12'
  • Draft 1'- 2"
  • Weight: 600 lbs (according to specs)
  • Carrying Capacity: 800-1,000 lbs
  • Main: 130 sq. ft.
  • Jib: 78 sq. ft.Hull #397, completed in 1989 was sailed throughout the Martha's Vineyard/Block Island area for 23 years by previous owner.
  • I purchased the boat last year and got 90% of the restoration work done before Sandy struck.
  • Because I am now involved in Long Term Recovery work it looks as if it will be a few years before I can get back to the boat.There are a few minor things to still be done before the boat is painted - mostly fairing. A great advantage to the boat not being painted is that you can see the quality of the construction and repairs plainly. The hardest thing will probably be choosing your colors!
    Here is your chance to own a Wharram cat for less than the plans and materials would cost you!
    The boat is titled and registered in New Jersey and includes everything except an engine: full set of construction plans, heavy-duty, stainless steel mast mount, aluminum mast, main and jib by Jeckells Sailmakers in the UK (original maker of the sails). The sails alone would cost $1800 + shipping.
    More pictures available. No such thing as a stupid question...except an unasked one.

    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)

    Wharram Pahi 26 catamaran

    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.

      She is located in Punta Gorda, Florida.
