My new junk rigged Benford Badger 34

3 masted Junk Schooner

La Chica is a Tahitianna designed by Weston Farmer and extensively modified over the years by myself. The Tahitianna is a redesign for steel of the famous Tahiti Ketch, designed in 1932 by American John Hanna of Dunedin Florida, who like myself was also deaf. Hanna's Tahiti Ketch was one of the dreamboats of her time, it is believed that over 700 where built worldwide with most of the boats being built in the states.

I converted her to the junk rig in 2013 and she is now faster and more weatherly than ever. Like the originals, she is a superb sea boat.
