Classic 16 Big Ama
Classic Ama Shape, 16 feet long, 12 inch diameter, one or two air chambers, over
420 pounds of bouyancy, very tough fabric.
This design is intended to have an efficient ama shape along with maximum bouyancy
for this length. Its main purpose is for larger homebuilt trimarans like the Gary
Deirkling Tamanu and other designs. These amas can be used on Kruger designs, but
the akas have to be raised up a bit from the standard Kruger catamaran tube positions.
This requires special but easy mounting. Due to the high flotation the akas must
be strong. We suggest at a minimum that aluminum 6061-T6 with an OD of 1.625 inches
and a wall thickness of at least 0.125 inches be used with a total beam of 8.5 feet.
Wider beams will require a larger tube.
The standard mounting D-rings are located at 48.75 inches from the rear and 143.25 inches
from the rear. The center to center distance is 94.5 inches. This mounting location
is based on the Tamanu and can easily be adapted to many boats. We also support custom
mounting locations for a modest fee.
Yes, these amas seem expensive at first glance. But if you want to sail in big water
the smaller amas can get overwhelmed. These amas are typically much less weight than
amas made from wood or other materials Also, each ama can have two air chambers
which adds a valuable element of security.
These amas are only available in Stealth Olive Drab.
Amas are not in stock. We build to order so allow 8 weeks before your amas will
