The Tiki 26, introduced in 1984 by the legendary maritime architect James Wharram, represents a refined evolution of the "coastal trekker" concept. Following the success of the smaller Tiki 21—which won the Cruising World Design Competition in 1982—the Tiki 26 was developed to offer greater volume and seaworthiness for serious coastal cruising and occasional ocean crossings. Built primarily using plywoodepoxy stitchandglue construction, the design is a modern interpretation of Polynesian double canoes, characterized by its "V" shaped hulls, lack of fixed keels or daggerboards, and hulls connected by wooden beams lashed with synthetic rope. According to James Wharram Designs, the model serves as a bridge between a cartrailerable day sailer and a bluewater cruiser, emphasizing simplicity, flexibility, and a shallow 1' 4" (0.40m) draft that allows it to be beached in ankledeep water.
