Find the Right Boat for You

The Wharram Design Book is the best starting point if you are still exploring the full design range. It gives an overview of each self-build model, introduces the Wharram boat builder’s mindset, and helps you narrow down which boats may suit your needs, dreams and sailing plans. It is available as a digital download.

A Study Plan then takes you deeper into a particular design. With large plan sheets, design notes, photographs, performance information, article extracts, FAQs and a materials list to help estimate local building costs, it gives you a clearer sense of the boat before you move on to the full Boat Building Plans.

Study Plans are only available as digital downloads. You can print them at home if you wish.

The Mana 24 design does not have a Study Plan, comprehensive design information is freely available.

Description

Based on the 1960s TANE design with more beam and higher freeboard, she can be built in foam/GRP sandwich or in plywood.

The Classic hull seaworthiness of the TANE encouraged many people to make ocean passages on her. We designed the TANENUI in 1973 to give these people on a low budget a sturdy, seaworthy basic boat with just that bit more internal space than the Spartan TANE.

By popular demand, we later drew her for building in the standard Classic plywood construction.
