Tiki 26
Description
The Tiki 26 (also known as the Wharram Tiki 26) is a 26-foot (LOA 26 ft / 7.92 m) coastal and ocean-capable cruising catamaran designed by James Wharram (with input from Hanneke Boon) as an enlarged evolution of the popular Tiki 21. It was developed by popular demand for owners wanting more serious coastal cruising with proven ocean-going potential (multiple Tiki 26s have completed transatlantic, transpacific, and other long voyages). The boat is a self-build plans design using plywood/glass/epoxy stitch-and-glue construction with lashed crossbeams, deep V-hulls, and no fixed keels or boards (relying on daggerboards/leeboards in some setups). Plans have been widely sold since the early 1980s, with well over 1,200 sets distributed and hundreds of boats built worldwide by amateur and professional builders—making it one of the more successful larger Tiki models in terms of actual completions.
