We are building a Pahi 42 in Brisbane, Australia, and welcome discussion on any topic. We hope to launch in 12 months, and live on it for the next 10 years +. We have modified the original design slightly by increasing hull width to 7 feet, beam width to 21 ft, and moved the rear crossbeam aft by 4 feet to give a larger cockpit, and extended the roof line aft as well. We hope to fit electric motors, Lithium batteries and 800 watts of solar panels and two D400 wind generators.

I live in Cairns, started cutting out plywood for my Pahi 42 a few years ago but confess to very slow progress. How's progress with you, wouldn't mind seeing a few photos when you have time. Trevor Lowmass.
Hi Trevor, It's good to hear from you. We were beginning to wonder if, apart from Bill and us, there were any Pahi 42 builders below the equator. Send your email address to katfish2@iprimus.com.au and we'll organise some photos to you. Don't despair over the time taken. Ours has taken 17 years but 11 years of that it was in storage in Athens. We have made a number of modifications which we would be willing to share with you if you are interested. We are just at the stage of getting the rigging organised for our in-mast furling system and choosing our deck hardware and paints. Like Bill, we will be having 2 yamaha 25 high thrust engines. We hope to (finally says Kat) have it in the water by Christmas. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Cheers John & Kat
That make me feel better. Most of my materials have been in store for a long time as well. I got diverted for a few years with 3 sons but at least I'll have a crew when progress is finally made! Trevor

Our boat has been in the water 4 months. Just waiting for the mast/sails to be sorted. Minor problems with the in mast furling setup.
