<p>I am trying to buy a Pahi 31 which is built following standard plans. Does anybody purchase plans for Tiki 46 type beams and for Tiki rig conversion.</p>
<p>Does it worth the money and the effort ?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>First of all, thanks for starting this excellent group and for the welcome. Second, having seen your restoration photos I am in awe - I once had the opportunity to purchase a neglected Pahi 31 called 'Gadzooks' but my own inspection, confirmed by a Steve Turner survey, put me off. A most remarkable transformation.<br/><br/>Thirdly I am intrigued by your own review of the Pahi 31, since having gone through various standard multihull boat calculations for stability, speed, handling-traits and so forth this is pretty much what I had concluded were the characteristics of the class. Doing the same for the Tikiroa I was struck by the dissimilarities, which [at least in theory] would be the same even if you blew up all the dimensions to the same size as the Areoi - the Tikiroa is much more like an oversized catamaran dinghy and would be a cruiser-racer at that, given more sail and a broad beam.</p>
<p>I am no expert on sailing small Pahis but am interested in acquiring one, so any accurate evaluation of their comparative abilities is invaluable to me.<br/><br/>Again, many thanks.</p>
