The Tahiti Wayfarer hull shape is based on a traditional dug-out canoe shape from Tahiti and Samoa, but built in stitch & glue ply/epoxy. This hull shape has only 8" - 20cm draft; her lateral resistance comes from a fine forefoot combined with the area of the steering-paddle/side-rudder. Each hull can be carried by two people. A great boat for playing around on the water and experimenting with rig, rudder and oars. Very suitable as a Raid Boat.
