Harbour Tent up

Mango Elephant is a Wharram Tiki 30 with a central cabin (pod). Mango was built to plan and to a high standard by the builder. The second, and current, owners added the pod and have evolved her into a self sufficient micro cruiser with bow and stern netting, wind vane and electric self steering and other additions and refinements which make her easy to sail single handed. Mango can comfortably sleep 4 in the main cabins and the forepeaks can also be used as single berths.

Mango was originally launched in 2001, purchased by the current owners in 2005 and refitted in 2008/9 when a central cabin was added as per plans by James Wharram Designs. Annual maintenance has been done since the refit and since 2016 many items, including sails, have been replaced with new as part of a staged refit. In the last 2 years Mango has not been sailed much. Tiki 30s are capable offshore cruising yachts, others have done the Atlantic Circuit.
The owners have the original plans and VAT receipts and records of work done since they bought Mango. Replacement netting is waiting to be fitted and then Mango is ready to cruise. Mango is currently in Mediterranean Spain but can be delivered anywhere in the Med, Biscay and up to the North Sea.
The central pod provides a sitting area which can be used as 2 single berths or converts into a large double bed. Wharram Designs say that the berths in the main hull cabins are doubles, but we found them better used as generous single berths. For extended cruising the forepeaks have been used for storage rather than as berths. All the berths have extensive storage underneath them and there is additional storage in aft lockers.
The bows and sterns have crash compartments and the keels have sacrificial strips encased in kevlar tape to provide protection when grounding.  Lashings have been added to supplement the inboard straps on the aft and mast beams
