Narai (Mk IV) Self-Build Boat Plans
Complete, clear and detailed plans to build your own Narai Mk IV.
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.
After considerable experience with the Narai Mk I and II we brought out a new design to get more volume on the same length. The Narai Mk IV has wider individual hulls and increased headroom by raising the decks to the level of the gunnels and placing the cross beams in beam troughs. This is a very sturdy ocean cruiser with many ocean crossings and circumnavigations to its name.
