S/V Iko Iko is a 2009 Wharram Tiki 38 Catamaran, for sale by owner. She was built in Quebec and had with many upgrades in 2021 and 2022. She has been to Cuba, the Bahamas and up and down the US Atlantic coast. She is currently on the hard in Labelle, Florida for hurricane season.
Iko Iko is a gaff-rigged schooner with a covered wheelhouse. Her hulls, decks and bulkheads are cold-molded with Okume plywood, West system epoxy and fiberglass. Raised hatches in all four cabins provide a minimum of 5’10” standing height. A sturdy bowsprit was added to support a roller furler that handles the foresail. These improvements are the only modifications from the original plans.
She has a double berth and head to starboard; a single berth in each hull forward; and the port side galley converts into another double berth.
Recent maintenance and improvements include: new roller furler; all new Dyneema lashings and standing rigging; new suite of sails; new carburetors for both Yamaha 9.9 HP outboards; new, 3m hard-bottom dinghy; new ablative bottom paint and non-skid epoxy on the tops of both hulls; 5 new 12v batteries and charge controller for 600 W of solar panels on the wheel house roof.
Iko Iko is a great boat from which to explore the Bahamas or Western Caribbean. For more adventurous sailors, Tiki 38’s have crossed the Atlantic and Pacific. This one is in good condition and ready to sail away.
A recent survey is available to serious buyers.
