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:

    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.

    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.
