Tiki 26 Tiki 30 - looking to buy full plans to study

[Paul Bays]

Wharram tiki 26 or 30 - Plans for sale for detailed studying purposes?

 

I am new to the world of catamarans but the Wharram Tiki 26/30 and Wood catamarans have caught my interest. There are many aspects of the wharram which I find very attractive.

I just bought the study plans for the Wharram tiki 26 and 30. But I'm sill not sure whether to to build the Tiki 30, Tiki 26 or even to consider the Mana 24 ( its only available as a kit , It would be nice if it was also available as a self build from plans). The study plans are not great as they lack the basic measurements such as size of the sleeping areas head room areas etc

If anyone has the building  plans of the tiki 26 and 30 lying around to sell I would be interested. I understand Wharram team are not against plans being resold as long as they receive a fee and re-registration if an additional build takes place which I think is fair enough. However buying two sets of plan full price at this stage is too much of an outlay.

thanks for any help or advice in this matter

Hi Paul,

I'm in exactly the same boat, so to speak.  I'm also considering the Tiki 26, Tiki 30, or Mana 24 but have not yet pulled the trigger on the full set of plans.  Just currently gathering information.  I keep going back to the Tiki 26 though...

Have you made a decision yet on which Wharram you want to build?

Hi Andy I have bought an old Tiki 26 and I am renovating it and building a deck pod. I looked at the tiki 30 and tiki 26 and the Tiki 26 is the perfect choice for me. its big enough for my needs and it can be easily trailered behind a car.

Im really impressed with the size of the boat.

hope you find a boat or build one cheers Paul

Hi Paul,

Many thanks for your reply.  👍

I plan on building mine, as that is apart of the whole deal for me.. which is why I want to ask as many questions as I can before I invest so many hours of my life into the project.  Happy to hear you got your Tiki 😊 🙏.  Where are you located?

Hi Paul,

i ve worked on renovating a tiki 26 in the last 2 years and it was mostly a  good time. I would be interested in your deck pod ideas. Do you already have a draft of what you want to do ?
