25' Production Sportsboat
Client: Kiwi Boat Works www.kiwiboatworks.com
The initial commission for the K250 was from a Northland couple that briefly raced her from their local club. Another owner said he had been looking at other yachts and found exactly what he was after with the Carbon. He commented, "We hit 19 knots on the trial sail and that basically was all I needed to make a decision". The delivery to her new home in Westhaven was accomplished with a 15 hp outboard during the windless winter and Carbon has already turned heads in her initial races.
She was recently purchased by Kiwi Boat Works in the USA as their base for a new sportboat class.
The carbon mast section is an elliptical shape designed by Chris Mitchell and has been proven on a number of other high performance yachts. Swept back spreaders are carried out to the gunwale. Topmast backstays are not required and removable fractional backstays are only fitted for use in coastal races. The 2-metre prod is housed in the hull and extends 2 metres from the bow.
