<p>I thought it might be a good idea if members of the group told us a little about themselves, their boats and their travels, Pahi owners especially but all welcome,</p>

<p>I think it would be helpful to any new builders to have this information gathered together in one place.</p>
<p>My own mods. are</p>
<p>1. 3 x crossbeams [ I section ]</p>
<p>2. 1 x daggerboard [ + much deeper ]</p>
<p>3. 1 x cabin per hull.</p>
<p>4. Twin backstays and no jumper struts on mast [ cutter ]</p>
<p>5. Nacelle or pod under cockpit to carry outboard motor.</p>
<p>+ other small items</p>

<p> The Pahi range was developed in the mid / late 70's. The Classic range was pretty much complete and JWD were looking for a new avenue to explore designwise.</p>
<p> Apart from the styling differences other important differences were the introduction of lashed beams, daggerboards ,rudders in wells, and the beams were located in troughs on the cabintops.</p>

<p> The Pahi range was developed in the mid / late 70's. The Classic range was pretty much complete and JWD were looking for a new avenue to explore designwise.</p>
<p> Apart from the styling differences other important differences were the introduction of lashed beams, daggerboards ,rudders in wells, and the beams were located in troughs on the cabintops.</p>
<p> The relocation of the beams gave a great improvement in seaworthiness and accommodation. The clearance under the beams is greatly increased in a rough sea. The cabin is approx 50% of boat length while the classic designs were restricted to a shorter cabin between beams 2 and 3.</p>
<p> I like the rudders as they lead to a very simple tiller arrangement. If a central tiller is hinged on the aft netting beam a reverse gearing operates [because it pivots further back than the rudders do] and the full control of the boat is inside the reach of the helmsman without the cockpit sweeping action of a normal long tiller.</p>
<p> Any opinion on accommodation / performance will be personal based on what the boat is used for and the prevailing conditions in it's home waters.</p>
<p> The cabin space is good with a long cabintop. A crew of 3 can gather in comfort in one cabin for a hot meal or a cold beer !! Stowage is good for personal and ship's /galley supplies.</p>
<p> The clearance under the beams is approx. 4ft / 1.2m so a cockpit can be fitted of 24" / 600mm deep and still have good clearance in rough water or when loaded. With a high Pr/Co and good waterplane this boat takes a generous load without difficulty.</p>
<p> This boat is designed in line with the stability range of the classics. As such the sail area is moderate. As a daysailer the performance is good even very good but the real strength of this design is it's performance carrying a load in open / boisterous waters. To the daysailer speed means a speedo / log reading. To a cruiser the real measure is miles run in a day.</p>
<p> So to sum up I think that if you want to speed round the bay on a Sunday afternoon in an empty boat this is probably not for you. On the other hand if you intend to carry stores for a couple of weeks and make moderate passages especially in rough water / fresh winds you would find it hard to do better.</p>

<p> I am starting this group because of the wonderful response I got to posting some photos of my Pahi 31. I did not think there was so high a level of interest ih these designs.Long overdue perhaps ? But better late than never.</p>
<p> The Logo is from the Wharram catalog 1980.</p>
<p> I hope this group's page will build up in time to a reference for these boat. To help this I may from time to time gather together a number of related posts / comments under a suitable discussion heading…</p>

<p> I hope this group's page will build up in time to a reference for these boat. To help this I may from time to time gather together a number of related posts / comments under a suitable discussion heading eg. sailing, modifications etc. There wil be no "taboo" or "tabu" enforced.</p>
<p> To start this I am posting the discussion REVIEW and kicking off with my own review of my Pahi 31. Comments welcome. Anyone out there to do the same for the Pahi 26 ?</p> Nang Fatag:wharrambuilders.ning.com,2012-12-22:2195841:Topic:920192012-12-22T19:42:44.177ZBenoithttps://wharrambuilders.ning.com/profile/Benoit
