Tiki 31
Description
The Tiki 31 (also known as the Wharram Tiki 31) is a 31-foot coastal and workboat-style cruising catamaran designed by James Wharram with Hanneke Boon. It is a self-build plans design using plywood/glass/epoxy stitch-and-glue construction with lashed crossbeams and deep V-hulls, positioned as a versatile traveller/workboat with ramp access at the stern and open hull cockpits (often fitted with removable awning covers, making it ideal for fishing or utility use). Plans have been available for decades, with a moderate number of boats built worldwide by amateur and professional builders (exact quantity is not publicly documented, but examples exist in Europe, the Mediterranean, and beyond, including well-maintained cruising boats). It builds on the lighter Tiki series philosophy (simplicity, shallow draft, low cost, and seaworthiness) but adds more payload and workboat practicality, with options for a deck pod or awning for shelter.
