Kraken DNA - Kraken 58 Under Sail - Discover the Solent Rig

Kraken Yachts founder Dick Beaumont and team take the Kraken 58 out on the water to put her through her paces and explains why Kraken chooses the Selden Solent Rig for serious bluewater cruising. In this video, Dick demonstrates the practical advantages of the Solent Rig setup, from single handed sailing and versatility in all weathers to safety and comfort offshore, and walks through some of the standout features built into the new Kraken 58. It's a first-hand look at how Kraken designs and builds yachts for sailors who plan to cross oceans, not just coastlines. Whether you're researching your first bluewater yacht or you're a long-time offshore sailor curious about the Kraken 58, this sea trial gives you a real sense of how she handles and why she's built the way she is: built without compromise. 00:10 Introduction 01:45 Set the Main and Genoa 02:20 Close Reach under Main and Genoa 03:45 Genoa away, set Jib 04:46 Close Hauled under Main and Jib 06:10 Put Main away 07:45 Setting Code K 09:05 Broad Reach under Code K 13:59 Set the Genoa 14:40 Downwind under Code K and Genoa butterfly 14:47 Dolphins having a look at the butterfly setup 15:10 Bimini 18:40 Set the Genoa 19:10 Beam Reach under 1/3 Reefed Main and Genoa 23:11 Set the Jib 23:35 Close Hauled under 1/3 Reefed Main and Jib 26:10 Set Jib and Genoa butterfly 28:50 Solent Rig summary 30:18 Outro 🔔 Subscribe for more Kraken 58 sea trials, Q&As with Dick Beaumont, and insights from the Kraken Yachts team. 👉 Learn more about Kraken Yachts: www.krakenyachts.com 📩 Get in touch: sales@krakenyachts.com 📸 Follow us: Facebook: / krakenyachts Instagram: / kraken_yachts #KrakenYachts #Kraken58 #SolentRig #BluewaterCruising #SailingYacht #OffshoreSailing #DickBeaumont #YachtSeaTrial
