Description
The Tiki 46 is a boat designed for Blue Water sailing, with live aboard space for a crew of up to 10. She also makes an excellent charter vessel with 4 private double cabins and an extra double in the deckpod. Plenty of safe deck space and slim hulls for easy, fast sailing, not requiring huge sail area to get speed.
Anne and Neville Clement write logs about their voyages on self-built Tiki 46 ‘Peace IV’.

Letters from Tiki 46 ‘Peace IV’
The first Tiki 46 was built in the UK near Bristol by Ann and Neville Clement, two experienced single-handed ocean sailors who joined up to build their first catamaran.
