Gil, my first impulse was to make some remark about it not being a Tahiti
Ketch, if it had a hard chine..

However, once I looked at the picture I will have to say that she does look
fine and still retains some of the profile and character of the Hanna
design.

Thanks for the visual..

Thanks, I wonder what it is exeactly then.. I first thought about a
Tahitiana, but the Tahitiana is a multi chine boat. This one has
one... Maybe a one-off inspired by the Tahiti..

Anyone else has an idea?

Sincerely,

Gil.

I don't (didn't) go so far as to say that it IS a Tahiti and wouldn't want
to infer that. I'm just saying that it looks like a Tahiti aside from the
hard chine. I suspect that it was inspired by the Hanna design.

This boat actually just sold off Ebay, I believe.

Hi,

No, it sat for a few years in a marina in Florida, and was never
proposed on Ebay.
Westom Farmer designed the Tahitiana, a multi chine boat. I actually
have a set of plans. However, this boat has one chine.
It certainly looks a lot like one, and I first thought it was.

Sincerely,

Gil.

Gil,
Was this boat at Cape Marina in Port Canaveral? There was a steel boat I was
told was a Tahiti in the yard there for a while.

No, it was in Ft. Lauderdale for years. Real Tahitis are made in wood.
The design is definitely based on the Tahiti though..

Who the heck would want to put a flying bridge on a Tahiti? ;-)

I think I _may_ know it's provenance, but am checking first.
Stay tuned...

I thought the same but on a closer look, the flying bridge is on the boat
sitting behind the Tahiti (wanna-be).
