Here’s one for the thrill-seekers - the KiSS 25.
We’ve seen a real appetite for smaller, high-performance racing yachts of late, with sailors moving from the 50s and Fast 40s to the likes of the Cape 31.
Now comes a new Danish brand with this contemporary one-design sportsboat designed to light up in international racing circuits.
KiSS (Keep it Simple Sailor) Yachting promises to bring a new level of speed and precision, using vacuum-infused carbon-built craft.
It’s partnered with Neo Yachts, which specialises in carbon craft. So despite the 2.5m beam, the 25 weighs a featherlight 750kg!
Couple that with a square-top main and a 66m2 gennaker (or a Code 0) and it’s easy to imagine that skimming dish-flat shape flying downwind.
Features include a removable rudder to ease trailering and a retrieval system for the A-sail – set off a 1.8m retractable bowsprit. The 25 is designed for three to five crew, and unrestricted hiking is encouraged.
KiSS promises race-ready craft, including CNC-machined appendages, Cyclops smart sensors, Pauger carbon rigging, and Harken deck gear as standard. With guardrails added, it also meets ORC and IRC requirements.
