" Nok Talay "

   Our Tiki 30, 'Nok Talay', is a Wharram-designed, Polynesian-inspired catamaran measuring 30ft in length and 15ft abeam.  This is an elegant versatile double-canoe which can provide ample comfort for basic living on the sea. 

 The stable double-hulled design of the catamaran lends the Tiki 30 twice the deckspace of a monohull,  plus the added advantage of a shallow draft. This combination of accessibility, increased living space and stability  makes 'Nok Talay' the perfect craft for bareboat charter in the Samui region.

     The simple 'boomless' sail plan and roller reefing foresail can easily and safely be managed by two adults in most wind conditions, and has proven itself to be a highly efficient rig capable of hull speed in excess of 7 knots during modest winds.

 Nok Talay has a double berth in each hull,  one single or storage berth to the fore, and large uncluttered deckspace, and decking area for sleeping under the stars.

 Due to the tropical climate most living time is spent outside the hulls.  The Tiki 30's 2.5m wide cockpit has ample seating for 8 people. A large awning covers the cockpit for protection from the tropical sun.   Forward of the mast is an area of wooden decking for sunbathing, while aft trampolines are placed for relaxing above the water.

     The compact galley contains a two-ring stove, sink, storage shelves, and worktop with extended overhead hatch to allow full standing room while preparing food. In the opposite hull the navigation area holds all marine charts, GPS, Multi Depth & Speed,  VHF radio,  and CD player.

     Marine life is in abundance throughout the whole cruising area, including seasonal visits by 7m long whalesharks.  Snorkeling gear and fishing tackle is included in the charter.

     'Nok Talay' has a flushing toilet, and a foot-operated pump supplies fresh water for on-deck showering.
