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 Maui is the smallest Classic design, very sturdy in build using backbone and bulkheads, with solid timber keel, and hence heavier than the more modern stitch & glue Hitia 17.
Suitable as a small workboat, or when one wants to leave the boat on a rough mooring.

What’s In Our Plans?
In this video, we open up an example of a full set and walk you through the contents – from the large-scale technical drawings to the beautifully illustrated A3 sketchbook that guides you step by step through the build.
