Design
Tiamat was designed by Mark Mills for owner Tim Costello in 2004. She was designed to race competitively under the IRC rating system. Mark Mills has previously designed the DK46 (Yacht), the Mills 32 Aztec (Yacht) (now Raptor) & the Mills 36 Quokka (Yacht).
The hull, interior structure, and deck of Tiamat is built in foam cored Epoxy/E-glass, while the spinnaker pole and mast are carbon fibre. Mills has opted for a twin carbon wheel design rather than the standard single wheel as seen on most yachts of this size.
