Sailing south, tacking into a 20 knot head wind in Trincomali Channel we slipped between Reid and Hall Islands to see this fine Wharram sliding down towards us wing to wing. This was a new Wharram to us. As we approached, he doused his genoa to slow down and take pictures. An Ariki flying a Canadian ensign. Anyone know this boat? We were too busy tending to sailing for much of a conversation but took photos of each other. Soon he was gone to the north while we beat onwards to Montague hoping to beat the rain.

I think that the boat is the Ariki Piggy.

This is PIGGY. I built this boat 35 years ago in Vancouver's False Creek area and sailed her around the world to return in 1982. We now use her as a summer getaway and cruise mostly in the Gulf Islands. I'm glad to have 'met' you and have also taken some pics from our encounter. If you email me your address I will send them....cheers tom
