44' Hardin Voyager Ketch centre cockpit

Tahirih (named after an influential female poet in the Middle - East - book on board) has been part of the family for over 20 years. The prior and proud owner had traveled to Alaska with Tahirih and I clearly remember George saying she likes to be under way best
So we took over and left the Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest of the USA to start a journey of our own to what would end up being a few years of unforgettable memories, clearly what shaped and defined us for the rest of our lives.
Tahirih undeniably played a major role in this amazing adventure. Never the fastest amongst the cruising fleet, we always got there, including up the winding river to Pedregal in Panama and through the tight entrance of Bahia de Caraquez in Ecuador. She loved the Trade Winds and crossing the Pacific the most. Bread making in the galley was comfortable thanks to her being so solid, steady and a center cockpit. So leveled she was that kept very busy on board.
Storms we had, and there again, whether at anchor or hove to, she looked after us. Being a center cockpit with a generous dodger, we stayed dry and protected to enjoy the ride.
Tahirh has clearly been built to last, with a thick fiberglass deck and hull and yet, her curved lines make her attractive and chic.
Tahirih's interior is unique as the engine room is central to a number of partitioned areas which display amazing teak craftsmanship. Initially designed to do chartering with two separate on-suite areas, she is generous in space (births and storage) Standing/working space is amazing. Tahirih was commissioned to be part of the opening of the Heiva (Carnival) in Tahiti in 2001. We had the honour to escort the traditional Polynesien canoe The Vaka Moana, its Polynesian crew and the film crew from the French TV marine documentary Thalassa from the Marquesas to Tahiti Nui. Tahirih became a bit of a star then, making this chapter of the adventure a bit of a highlight.
We like to say she sits well at anchor, Tahirih is a window on the Sydney Harbour scene.
