General +
Wharram Pahi 42, ‘Toroa’.
Built by the current owner in a heated and temperature controlled workshop of marine plywood, sheathed with E glass and epoxy externally and epoxy coated and polyurethane varnished/painted internally.
Hulls painted in Epifanes 2-pack polyurethane (dark blue), cabin tops, decks and beams painted in Epifanes Nautiforte (off white).
Launched in 1992 and extensively cruised and sea proven, primarily on the west coast of Scotland.
All sheet leads and halyards led back to cockpit so easily cruised single handed.
Well maintained and upgraded since launching.
Laid up ashore under cover during winter months. -
Hulls & decks etc +
Hulls and beams constructed to plans.
Beams lashed to hulls as normal to permit controlled flex with the hardwood bearing blocks surfaced with tufnol to minimise wear/chafe.
Lewmar portlights and main hatches throughout with removable fly screens.
Small raised doghouses to each hull (flexibly/watertight linked to deckpod) with custom made sliding hatches and washboards facing aft permit seamanlike access to each hull at sea.
This permits visual and verbal communication from hull to hull via deckpod without going on deck.
All decks and cabin tops surfaced with TBS non-slip decking.
Deckpod fitted out as navigation station plus the on-watch sea berth.
The deckpod also accommodates the main electric circuit breaker panel, domestic and engine start batteries plus charging systems and controls.
The adjustable daggerboards on the plans have been replaced with ‘vortex generators’ permanently fitted to the forward part of each keel. These minimise leeway whilst sailing and increase manoeuvrability under power. Keel is protected with a galvanised steel keelband. -
Rig & Rigging +
Cutter rigged as plans with a wishbone boom and substantial Sailspar anodised aluminium mast.
All stainless steel 1 x 19 wire rigging (8mm) with rolled swage terminals at the top and mainly Staylock terminals at the bottom.

Sails +
Working sails by Nicolson Hughes in dacron with seams triple stitched for strength and durability.
Sail wardrobe includes a mainsail with three reefing positions, genoa, yankee, staysail (hanked to an inner stay) and a storm jib.
Additionally an Asymmetric spinnaker by Owen (with a Hood squeeza) is flown using a bridle from each bow. All halyards and sheets except those for the spinnaker are led aft via Spinlock turning blocks through Spinlock/Lewmar clutches around the cockpit to Lewmar 40 self-tailing winches on the aft main beam, at the aft corners of the cockpit, port and starboard. -
Engine +
3-cylinder 27HP Nanni Diesel 3.110HE mounted in a deckpod under the mast, driving via Rotary Power radial piston hydraulic pump, a Sillette Sonic 1.2m steerable catamaran drive leg.
2710 engine hours.
This leg is fully retractable clear of the water whilst sailing yet permits ease of handling under power.

A Standard morse control on the Whitlock Constellation wheel steering pedestal in the cockpit controls the engine (there is no mechanical clutch).
Hatches either side of the mast beam allow day to day access to the engine pod.
