the tiki 46 "wakataitea"
this is the beauty full Tiki46 "wakataitea" . the boat was lauched in January 2009 and built by my wife and me, after the original building plans Nr36.
since we built and launched the boat in New Zealand, we sailed so far 30000Nm with it.
my wife and me had rebuilt other boats before and work and live the sailors life since 20 years and more.
our professional back ground is canvas maker (my wife) and German master cabinet marker (me).
the boat is build with only the best materials, epoxy (west system) and equiped with all you need to sail and live on board.
wakataitea is our home since the beginning. we live constantly on this Tiki 46 and keep it in top condition at all time.
wakataitea is a well proved sailing vessel and it's construction and sailing rig handled in the past the pacific ocean, a Indian ocean crossing, passing "cap of good hope " and a Atlantic crossing with out any problems.
