There’s a set of plans for a Wharram Tiki 21 for sale on ebay. It’d be perfect for where I sail, but, but, but, enough distractions in life – raising funds to build the replica HMS Beagle f’rinstance – without having a set of plans shrieking at you to build them and friends asking you if you’ve started building yet.
For those not familiar with Wharram catamarans, his site is worth a visit. This essay sailing – a last freedom -is especially worth a read. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself mooning over cat plans and second hand boat listings.

If I were to build a larger boat it would be a Wharram. The Tiki or Pahi 26 are extremely seaworthy and would make great boats for cruising the Hawaiian Islands.
