KC54 Catamaran - Boat Review Teaser - Multihulls World

► Full test in Multihulls World #183: https://www.multihulls-world.com/essais/catamaran/kinetic-kc54-the-catamaran-of-the-future ► Following on from the very successful KC62, Kinetic Catamarans has just launched a particularly racy 54-footer. This new model sees the sail handling station in the same position as her bigger sister – in the forward cockpit. She also features the forward door. The fineness of the hulls gives exceptional performance. As for the strongly inverted bows, these show evidence of recent evolutions in offshore racing… The ambition of the KC54 is precisely to offer the speed of a racer while maintaining the ease of handling of a comfortable cruiser… A challenge that’s been taken up, according to the first assessment of our journalist Domonique Salandre, who was able to sail the 54 in Annapolis. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Kinetic Catamarans Length: 54’2” (16.5 m) Beam: 27’11” (8.5 m) Lightship displacement: 35,825 lbs (16.25 t) Draft: 4’7”’/10’2” (1.40/3.10 m) Mainsail: 979 / 1,100 sq ft (91/102 m²) Solent: 613 / 645 sq ft (57/60 m²) Engines: 2 x 80 HP Fuel capacity: 264 US gal (1,000 l) Water capacity: 264 US gal (1,000 l) ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
