Hitia 17
Designed by James Wharram
The Hitia 17 is a 5.18 m beach catamaran with an overall beam of 3.07 m, the larger of the two Hitia designs that James Wharram Designs sell as affordable weekend adventure boats.
Like the Hitia 14 she is built by stitch and glue in plywood, glass and epoxy, from plans in the same format as the Tiki range: large scale drawings of every plywood part, with some parts given full size. A light, simple boat for coastal trekking and camping under sail.
What building a Hitia 17 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
