Wharram Raka 36 For Sale, Savannah GA

Hi All-

I have just joined the site and wanted to announce that I have a Raka for sale. The short of it is as follows. As posted on craigslist-

It needs some restoration work due to rot, but all is above the waterline. In total I see approximately 3 4x8 sheets of 3/8 marine ply in the rot repair.

One crossbeam has rot on the very end that I believe could be cut out and fresh timber scarfed in to make that repair.

There is a fair amount of work required and this project is not for the uninitiated. That being said, if you are handy and had considered building a Wharram and believe you had the skill set to undertake the project this could be a very appealing alternative to starting from scratch.

This was a professional build and well worth restoring to whatever level the new owner sees fit.

The boat is stored in doors and un-assembled (cross beams are off). Each hull sits self supported in their own crude but effective cradles. Both hulls and cross beams will fit on a standard tractor trailer 53' flat bed and I can load.

If your interested in learning more, please send your telephone number and I will give a call and answer any questions and provide additional info.

Thanks ---
