Pahi 42
Designed by James Wharram
The Pahi 42, known as Captain Cook, is 12.80 m long and 6.70 m wide, a size the designers recommend for family long distance cruising.
She introduced the deck pod in 1980. It shelters whoever is steering or on watch and gives the skipper or navigator a sleeping cabin within instant call, a feature many builders have appreciated. One Pahi 42, Mother Ocean, is the subject of a well known account of an Atlantic crossing.
What building a Pahi 42 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.
