Do it Yourself Catamaran
There are many questions and the choice depends on several things,
the aim and the area of sailing included. A boat should be easy to carry around, it should
not sink too deep, there should be a lot of space on the deck, it has to be fast and of
course it has to be low-cost and easy to maintain.Tiki 26 - Technical Data

Tiki 26 - underwater hull
modification
(April 2005)
Bora was blowing when Ariki sailed out of the Izola shipyard. Wind speed 10,
gusts of wind up to 15 knots. Sailing with full sails and with wind in the back is now
completely different. The steering is so easy that I could not feel it in my hands. Even
if I let it go it stays where it is and the boat is headed forward. |

1000 Miles of the Adriatic Sea
(From the 2nd to the 30th of
September 2004)
We left Izola on the 2nd of September in
2004 at 9am. Janez was on board in the first part of the journey. First we landed on the
4th of September at 10pm in a small fishermen dock called Portorose 10 NM north of
Pescara. |

Finally the big day came and the catamaran got its name:
Ariki. |
|
 Where does the name Ariki come from and what does it mean?
Maori are people living on
islands in the Pacific all the way from Polynesia to New Zealand. Their traditional ships
are catamarans. Ariki in their language is how they call a firstborn child. |
