Tahiti Gaff Ketch
Description
The Tahiti Gaff Ketch (also simply called the Tahiti Ketch) is a classic 30-foot (LOA 30.0 ft / 9.14 m) double-ended, long-keel cruising ketch designed by John G. Hanna in the early 1920s, with plans first published in 1935 in Mechanix Illustrated (as part of "How to Build 20 Boats"). It is one of the most famous plans-built boats ever, with hundreds constructed worldwide by amateur and professional builders in wood, steel, fiberglass, or other materials.
