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 RAKA class, the same length as the TANGAROA, is a Slim-Line ship. Originally designed for George Payne who wanted a boat that he could enter in local club races in the Bristol Channel and stand a chance of winning.
He won several.

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. If you’ve ever wondered about building your own Wharram, this video gives you a real, hands-on look at what to expect inside the plans.
