  • Episode 1. Sailing my 28ft catamaran on a 3 month cruise of the north eastern coast of New Zealand's North Island. This time we leave Whangarei and make it as far as Tutukaka on our way to North Cape

    I sailed one of these years ago and I thought it was a good sea boat even in rough weather. Felt safe at all times

    Well done with your video.
    I read James Wharram's book Two Girls Two Catarmarans about his first ocean-going catarmaran and was quite taken with his whole design evolution and philosophy by the end.
    I had plans for building a Farrier F9AX tri some years back but family, business, and life got in the way and I didn't want to give up gliding and flying... I grew up with sailing, and have many fond memories sailing with my brother on his 28 foot Nova twin keeler. I see your Wharram is back on the market up north and wish my wife was interested in sailing, as I would be very interested in in this catamaran ...

    Great video. I built and launched a Tanenui 1992 so good to see the professional do it so well. Loved the boat and took it on seven month trip from southern Scotland across Channel and through french canals to the Med. Sold it back in Scotland . Great boat but better for NZ climate.

      Great boat. Ok for New Zealand climate in summer. But really better for a tropical climate.

    Love it, we have just sold our keel boat and I am quite keen on a Wharram, probably let a Tiki or one of these. you have helped the decision.

      The Tanenui is a great boat. I have not sailed a tiki but would like to try one out.

    Have you thought about add a pilot house ? Just wondering .

      No, I never thought about adding a pilot house to the Tanenui. I wouldn't know how to do that without spoiling the sailing ability of the vessel

      I liked the idea of a sporting cruiser that wasnt a floating apartment and safe/protected undersail.

      Search for the O'kellys tour of one... Theres a even more sporting vessel based on the same central control living bridge deck layout. Shooting star's ruclips.net/video/fpoAAu5ufr8/видео.html

      I have seen pictures and video of the larger ones. I suppose they could be seen as modern evolution of a wharram. Although, would you agree that using that comparison with any modern catamaran might also be true?
