KAHUNA

Kahuna's hull shape is again similar to Wynfall,
but now expanded to 32' and a whopping 15,500 lbs. This is a big boat,
and would be a good choice for extended offshore sailing. Hull volume
and carrying capacity are both much greater than
with Wynfall or Austral, and her larger size allows for features
such as built-in water tanks (with a capacity of 100 gallons).
She retains the buoyant hull shape, fine entry and clean run that
make her smaller sisters a joy to sail, and I've no doubt Kahuna
will be an excellent sailor, and a comfortable home on the water
as well. Her plans are drawn for wood and epoxy construction, and
include specifications for both strip and cold-molded planking. Plans
include drawings for gaff and bermudan rigs, and for several layouts.
