madyottie 82 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Just lately I've seen a few random boats in odd places. The yellow one is in Pukekohe, been there a while. The blue one is in Papakura, only noticed it a few days back, but looks like it has taken root. What else is out there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 used to regularly pass the yellow boat often wondered if i should drop in to ask about sails etc but thought the poor thing had a better chance at being reborn if it remained complete Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Myjane 40 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Orange one looks like a witting 25 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 397 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yes looks like a Reactor, just seen a Harmonic and a D28 up a drive by Ngawha Springs looking as if they have been there some time, there is a Variant on a drive at Kaiwaka also long term. Johnny Wrays last boat by the road at Rawene seems to have disappeared. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Tiki touring along the west coast came across a pahi 31 in the bush today Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Yes,met the old boy that previously sailed it as far as Dunedin, reckons it's all good to go back in the water Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is a lot of Wharram enthusiasts around the world. Not really surprising, they are pretty good boats. Not sure I'd want to claw off a nasty coastline in the rough, but that applies to pretty much all yachts really Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wild violet 38 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 My old man had a pahi 45 with centreboards and a wishbone boom,he kept her really light it pointed well.When he sold it the new owners sailed her to Lyttelton at 17 knots.Awesome boats if kept light.

ex TL systems 63 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Yes the pahi is an older design but still pretty popular the 52 ft tennant cat on trademe at the moment is a little tempting though not much room for cruising. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
