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

The ideal low budget self build ocean cruiser. With a sleeping capacity of 6 (two doubles in the hulls) and spacious level deck area, TIKI 30 makes an excellent low cost charter boat.

It is our largest self-build boat design that is capable of being towed behind a vehicle. This means keeping the build weight down, and simple but adequate accommodation. This is not a high cost, luxury boat, but an elegant, versatile, ‘double canoe’ sailing boat, providing basic comfort for ‘Living on the Sea’.

An optional deck pod with double berth and/or navigation station is included in these plans. This pod is an alternative to the standard open cockpit. This building decision comes down to personal preference.
