The Tiki 46 stands as the flagship of the Tiki range, representing the ultimate evolution of James Wharram’s "Coastal Trek" philosophy into a formidable bluewater cruising platform. Designed by James Wharram and Hanneke Boon, this 46foot catamaran is a modern interpretation of ancient Polynesian doublecanoe principles, utilizing a Vhull shape and lashedbeam construction. Unlike modern production catamarans that prioritize internal volume and bridgedeck saloons, the Tiki 46 is built for the "Sea People"—sailors who value seakindliness, simplicity, and the ability to maintain their own vessel. Built primarily from plywood and epoxy, the design has become a favorite for serious selfbuilders looking to cross oceans on a budget that would typically only afford a much smaller monohull. Detailed technical data and architectural intent can be found directly from James Wharram Designs.
