Looks like it had a Hobie 16 rig or similar. Also, no motor au natural.

Interesting that he was in bad storms for a while and said he never felt in any danger. I hope he writes up something with more detail about the trip.

26 days at sea in a Tiki 21 is a long time, especially if you do not have the plan to do so.

This story made the BBC national news this morning. Sadly they didn't mention it was a Wharram 21, but concentrated on the likely deportation.
