General Comments

The Atlanta Viking 800 was evolved from the popular Macwester 27.  It retained all the sea-keeping abilities of the Macwester but the encapsulated twin keels became deeper to improve windward performance.  The encapsulated keels overcame the problems experienced by the earlier Westerly Centaur.

TIKI is a comfortable heavy displacement boat - not fast but she will get you there!  She is in excellent condition with a totally reliable, almost unused powerful engine mounted below the waterline.

Her Copper Bot epoxy coating has protected her hull and provides virtually no maintenance apart from a pressure washing applied on an annual basis.

I'm sure I can see the coast!
