yes i like a lot also and would like to give same style to mine.

the front beam is original ,but not the atachment to the hulls , they elevate the huge trampoline to be higher above water i suppose for charter purpose .

several years ago i tried to contact by mail the new owners at maho bay, to have details of pod and their improvement ,without succes .

glenn tieman who got a pahi 26 around the world during 10 years, emphasize on the improvement of the tiki wing sail rig on the comportement of pahi . sailing ,tacking,windward should be the same with tiki rig .

here is the well knowed youtube video of magic carpet very fast :

Laurent:

Do you have any kind of galley or navigation table? How is the interior space? Can you sit upright to navigate or cook or there is not enough room?

Thank you.

There is galley and foldable table and what J Wharram call "flexible space" smooth word to say that everything is hanged or foldable .

For me it is still huge boat with enought place for :1.90m fodable dinghy ( 11 kg) and little foldable bike (11 kg ) . no water tank but two powersurvivor dessalinisator ,the little 40 electric 5l/h (5kg) and one model manual 35 for safety .all that is very hight standard quality bought used 1/4 price

I am 1.80 m ,can sit upright to navigate ,reading ,cooking, play guitar .i just received yesterday in good condition a "buble" 50cmdiam x 30 hight half sphere to have a glance outside (?)
