The hulls for a second James Wharram-designed Tiki 38 are taking shape quickly at the 'old' Thepprasit Road yard, in Pattaya. Built in red cedar strip-plank composite, the Polynesian-inspired, V-shaped, double ended canoe hulls are lighter and better laminated even than the very good pair of hulls for our first Tiki 38 project, now about six weeks from completion at the Jomtien yard. Overall, this new Tiki 38 is likely to be 200 kgs. lighter, a significant amount – and useful for a moderate displacement cruising catamaran.
