Description
Please note: Current Classic Design Building Plans now include the Wharram Wingsail Rig plan sheets as standard, as well as the plan sheets for the original sail rigs.
The Tangaroa Mk IV was a design that evolved from the Tangaroa Mk I, James’ first design for which he drew Self-building Plans in 1965. The Mk IV has more graceful hull lines, wider hull beam, more freeboard over the bunks and a longer cabin with standing headroom, so it is not to be mistaken for the Tangaroa Mk I of which many are still sailing.
