The K1 has been proven to be a fast, reliable boat suited to sailors of all shapes and sizes as well as different levels of expertise.Over 170 owners enjoy their boats in every conceivable location from the sea, coastal estuaries, rivers and all the way to Windermere sized lakes. As well as established fleets in a number of locations there are boats spread across the country and owners willing to demonstrate the boat to all those interested.
