Ariki

Ariki is a smaller version of the Tehini and a bigger version of the Raka, 13.88 m long and 6.10 m wide. She was designed in the early 1970s for an Australian who wanted to enter the single-handed transatlantic race.

She is a rakish boat with fast, slim hulls that are simple to construct. The designers add that a builder who wants more accommodation should look at the newer Tiki 46.
