Description:

Pahi catamarans are seaworthy family ocean cruisers with an easy motion and good speed potential. The hulls are canoe-like with distinctive raised ends. Daggerboards improve the windward perfomance somewhat over the Wharram Classic range and the provision of cruising amenities is more elaborate.

The Pahi 31 is also named Areoi.
