White Seal is the very latest design from the drawing board of James Wharram, the internationally respected designer of the true Polynesian, double canoe, cruising multihull.

More than 4000 boats of his designs have been built since James first crossed the Atlantic in 1956 in his 25ft ‘Tangaroa catamaran, the first multihull to make the crossing.

James has chosen the beautiful Pahi 63 design for his personal boat, `Spirit of Gaia` but has said that he considers her successor, the Pahi 52, to be his masterpiece, being the perfect combination of hull shape and beam/length ratio.

Pahi 52s are professionally built in South East Asia at the Thailand boat yard of Seascape Ltd. owned and managed by Gunther Nutt a Lichtenstein cabinet maker turned boat builder.

White Seal was launched there in July 2004 and completed in October. Following her proving trials, she was sailed single handed by her owner 1500 miles to the Gulf of Thailand, and on to her new home in Pattaya.

She has 4 beautifully appointed private double guest cabins, together with two bathrooms, both with shower, a fully equipped galley and salon, and a huge deck cockpit to accommodate up to 35 people on a day sailing basis.

The helmsman is located in the protected command module which also has a double berth for the skipper or off-watch crew.

At the stern there is a large ramp which lowers to sea level to provide a floating jetty for easy dinghy access and has a drop down swimming stairway which makes diving and swimming from the boat a real pleasure.

The boat comes with snorkelling equipment and a small dinghy with outboard motor as standard.

The prices quoted are for bareboat charters. Please enquire for prices for crewed charters.
