1996 Wharram Narai 42, USD 100.000,-

** Update: major typo, the boat is available for US$100K, NOT $10k
Marine-grade aluminium bluewater Wharram design, ideal for longevity, impact resistance, and corrosion resilience in tropical waters. Most Wharrams are ply/epoxy, aluminium construction means no osmosis, delamination, and a hull that will outlast others in her class.
She's sailed from the Cape of Good Hope to Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and across the Pacific to French Polynesia, where she currently sits in Phaeton, Tahiti Iti — next to haul-out facilities, fuel, hardware, provisioning and a marina.
Generous space for hosting, with the potential to transform into Air B&B, surf retreat, charter business or world cruising.
