Description
Please note: these building plans now include Design Improvement Package 2 as standard, which gives improved centre deck details, Tiki style I-section crossbeams, and crossbeam lashing details.
A smaller version of the TEHINI and a bigger version of the RAKA. Designed for an Australian who wished to enter the ‘Single-handed Trans Atlantic Race’ in the early 1970s.
A very rakish looking design with simple to construct, fast, slim hulls. However, if you are looking for more accommodation check out the newer Tiki 46.
