Designed by Jock Muir and built from Huon Pine in 1956 as a commercial fishing vessel, then converted to this very comfortable and capable Motor Sailer by renown Shipwright Geoff Cuthbertson in the mid 80’s.
Tikanti is a heavily built commercial vessel and the Cuthbertson refit is just beautiful. Attention to detail and build quality is certainly something to appreciate with many evident details. Her fully enclosed wheelhouse cabin will keep you protected or you can choose to sail her from the comfortable cockpit with the removable tiller. Main halyard is located on the mast and all other lines lead back to cockpit.
