I remember your Pahi 42 as a boat with good ideas. For a Pahi she has a special design. I have seen the boat once in French Polynesia. The builder took away the shape of a canoe and gave her the shape of the deck level with only a light curve. She is looking very good. Also the two figure heads which were carved in Vanuatu by Natives are significant for this proven world traveling boat.

He made a slatted deck in the front and in the back and I think on this boat this is a better solution than a simple net. You can comfortably walk around the whole area of the boat. It is built very light, a little elastic, but on the other side strong enough not to break. Well done!

The previous owner had a fine method of easily lifting his big wooden dinghy on deck!

Wish you fun with Fenua
