"As Robert is saying, the variables are so wide that the question will only get very general answers! For example, our Pahi 42 has the Bermudan cutter rig with fully battened mainsail and conventional boom. Our genoa is a fairy new Jeckells…"

"I see. Thanks for the clarification :) The question is, baring in mind the variations between the elements you mention(), are there general tendencies that certain JW designs are more amenable to? eg, my guess is that narrower hulls like a raka…"

"Hi. Thanks for the reply. Are you saying that when it comes to Wharram designs, the differences are basically cosmetic? ie so long as the skipper is able enough, she can make any of them behave the same? Cheers!"

Hiyas!A general and possibly a silly sounding question.Looking at the various designs, from Pahi 26, Tiki 26, to Tiki 30 and 38, Pahi 42, various tangaroa and narai - there are evident differences ofcourse. However, it is hard to tell how these differences translate to actual sailing experiences.eg,tacking abilities, speed, angles to the wind (specially close reach), storm performance and so on..I am trying to piece together some coherent idea of how these differences work via reading a fair…See More
