Wharram Builders and Friends

A Photo & Discussion Forum for Wharram Design Enthusiasts

G’day everyone, Im a 23 year old in the marine sparky trade in New Zealand, live on a little yacht currently but my heart is set on building myself a Wharram, a Tangaroa mk iv looks like she’ll fit my needs and purpose which would again be live aboard, and do some decent miles on her, I’m in love with the shape and size of the Tangaroa MK iv, I’ll definitely go for the tiki style beams and nearly all the upgrades but I’m damned if I can find any decent pictures of the interior of them, I’ve got the study plans and looked far and wide for some pictures of the interior and basic dimensions of the hulls are harder still to come by, just wondering if anyone could help me out? 

cheers

If you don't know this channel but like Tangaroas then this pair of Aussies is for you: https://www.youtube.com/c/SailingTangaroa/videos

The boat is currently for sale and the most recent video has a full boat tour.

Hope that helps :)

The rest of their videos also show some amazing Wharram cruising around Australia and are well worth watching.

Hope that helps :)

Just watched the first episode and checked out the auction, cheers mate, that’ll help heaps!

Where in NZ are you?

I'm currently restoring a pahi 31 in Kawhia, a have been living on a mono around Auckland last few years, so I'm up there from time to time
This is a tangaroa not sure if it's mk iv

I’m in East Auckland, work out of Pine Harbour Marina, yeah jmh2002 put me on them, I think it is the MK IV because of the free board height and boarding ramp but I’m the same as you mate just a little unsure, Nice work on the pahi 31, restorations can be tough but bloody awesome

I'm in Beach Haven overlooking the upper Waitemata.

I subscribed to your YouTube Dominic, to bump up your numbers :)

Wharrams all over the world and here’s three kiwis haha
haha, awesome... I'll be back up in Auckland this weekend, free for a beer (or whatever) sunday afternoon. It's just gonna be a quick trip then back to work on the new boat. I'll private message you my number

Oh yeah, Keanu, have you seen the cream coloured raka in little shoal bay? it's nearly the same proportions as a tangaroa 4. same length, slightly narrower hulls. it needs some work, for sure. you can walk out to it at low tide.

It's in a pretty sorry state, but it is floating on it's lines.

I heard it used to belong to this guy: https://www.amazon.com/Swimming-Dolphins-Zeal-Doak-Wade/dp/03405757...

Who was researching dolphin language from it. There is a photo of it inside riko riko cave (poor knights island) in the wharram design book.
