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.

The TEHINI is breathtakingly beautiful. She has a timeless look about her and dominates any harbour with her rakish, piratical looking lines. James built this boat as his own and spent 10 years living on her with five others.

These Plans include design modifications for Tehini Mk II. These comprise improved accommodation space with raised decks, increased overall beam, added centreboards (optional), increased sail area and various other additional details.

Visual Tour

Two vintage movies filmed by Ruth Wharram in the early days of Wharram Catamaran designs. What these two films show is a glimpse back into an era of freedom and adventure, hardship and joy, a delightful, but important piece of multihull history. Compared to the present day yachting scene, the building conditions and even some of the boats look perhaps a little primitive, but they set the scene for the next 30 years of multihull and Wharram Catamaran development.
