"Spot on Rory. Your experience on the Tiki's mirrors mine on my 26 in the English Channel, and also on a Pahi 52 beating up the Red Sea. Both had well cut new sails, and attention was paid to correct trim."
"One of the greatest advantages of the Tiki design is the simplicity of form and function. For such a simple low tech form of hull, beams and rig - you get a very capable boat. By adding boards you will improve the rate rate of leeway only, and only…"
"Sailing Tsunamichaser for the last 13 years along with a Tiki 21, a Hitia 17, and a Pahi 26 plus crossing from San Francisco to Hilo Hawaii on Beat Rettenmund’s Aluna has taught me one thing. Paying attention to sail trim, where lines run to…"
"Another interesting centerboard / dagger board installation on a catamaran inspired by Wharram is David Omick's Minimus II. Added as an afterthought to this interesting quadraplane? small open deck catamaran, it has had a fantastic…"
"Boards certainly improve upwind performance due to less slippage, which entails (1) less ground lost (leeway) and (2) higher lateral resistance to wind, and therefore more power and speed.
Item (1) translates to a higher effective course on…"
"Alan Barber installed a centerboard on a 35' Wharram... Tangaroa? and did a Utube of sailing it. 35' wharram catamaran with centerboard In the comments section he wrote this:

"I am in a the mast step building phase of the project. I found an aluminium mast, and these mast step ideas are really good, I will probably build a version of one of these.
I have a couple of questions. have any of you experienced damage to the…"
"I wouldn't add dagger boards to a Tiki 26. The hulls have such a sharp V-section that they have a really good grip on the water anyway. The fact they can't point quite as high as many monohulls isn't down to the lack of…"
"Where I sail there is a bridge. If my mast wast 6' shorter I'd clear perfectly without any shenanigans! When I find myself in waters busy with boat traffic I wish I could raise the sail 12 inches higher on a taller mast so I could…"
"Wharram cats are not "high performance" by nature. I don't see daggerboards improving on their ability to go to wind. Loading will have a greater affect. Don't pile endless stuff onboard. Sail light with…"
"In my plans there are no dagger boards, but I have seen it in the study plans. The ones in the study plans are in a very forward position, so I don't think that it could be useful. I have not seen any T26 with dagger boards."
tiki 26 performance with dagger board VS without dagger board
We are in the early stages of building a Tiki 26. I am wondering if anyone has experience with a Tiki 26 with a dagger board and has noticed any difference in performance as opposed to one without a dagger board. Ie, reduced slippage or higher pointing with the dagger board.Or do they usually only install them on the Bermuda rigged boats?Thank youISee More
