How much stuff will a Tiki 21 comfortably carry?

This is my brother and Dan helping me emptying the boat (Element) after sailing it 200nm ish to Islamorada in the Keys from Sarasota, FL. Only about half of the bilge space was used as storage and some compartments were completely empty. What a great design as we were comfortable in the hulls and never felt cramped!

Looks like a lot, did you do the trip in one go or did you stop off anywhere?

We (my brother and I) stopped off at a couple of places A long the way. Some legs we sailed through the night and some we anchored out. Trip took about 3 and a half days.

Good to know man, how'd she go loaded up?

I've been telling the wife we need to travel light. If she see this, we'll sink.

Very smooth... Couldn't even notice the weight.

lol @ Ian... Ahh the T21 can take it... She's quite a tough boat

Id' say not the volume is the key but the oveall weight.... but it is true Wharram designs offer a lot of space to store your stuff.

My friend Curt and I took my T21 from Cape Coral down to Tavernier a few years back. We sailed through the night arriving at Cape Sable at dawn. The following day we sailed across the northern side of Florida Bay, via the Dump Keys, Billy Channel and Toliet Seat pass.

As I recall the boat is limited by design to a total weight of 1,000 lbs. crew and supplies.

This trip was from Sarasota to Islamorada... So similar trip... I doubt we had over 1000 lbs even with the crew included... We were also towing a dinghy so that acted as our trailer for the heavier stuff
