In the Design book Wharram says that the rig for the Tangaroa MK IV could be bermudan cutter or ketch.

<p>Hi Hector</p>
<p>Thats the one mate, have spoke to the owner ,who built the boat, but he's sketchy on some answers about the rig. havent asked about engine placement yet, will try to contact tomorrow, not sure why he would put a monohull rig per se' on a multihull and as Carl says I would want to have a sail to see How balanced it is.</p>
<p>Also as the ad says built to plans but not ketch rig so wondering what goes there also</p>

<p>Hi Robert,</p>
<p>The Tangaroa is a ketch as standard. I have also seen many mods, and I suppose it's ok as a sloop, but you want to make sure the boat is properly balanced. Again, with engine set up, there are many, many "versions" out there - the best is to ask the owner / builder why it is set up that way, and hope for an honest answer.</p>
<p>I'm sure it will be a relatively straight forward mod to add a tiki rig to a Tangaroa.</p>

<p>Other things to watch out for will be rot particularly in the beam boxes of the MkIV. The Tangaroa is a great boat - safe, easy to sail. Good luck and post some pics!</p>
