The ultimate single-handed dinghy with a lifting keel
BOATS FOR SALE
New Boats
The K1 single-handed performance keelboat heralds a new era of single-handed sailing; combining speed, style and ease of sailing.
This unique mini yacht has a lifting keel with bulb weighing 62kg yet its all-up weight is little more than a conventional single-handed dinghy. The carbon spars are ultra light and responsive.
The slender hull has little resistance when heeled so is quick and tacks through a very narrow angle. The self-tacking jib is set on a pole for maximum ease of control. The cockpit is deep and comfortable when sitting on the deck edge.
The result is a boat that is an absolute joy to sail and guaranteed to provide effortless, fast sailing and close tactical racing.
Ovington are now making hulls, decks and mast gates in a variety of exciting colours.

K1's Around the World
Fleets of K1's are growing all around the world and Ovingtons are well versed in shipping your new K1 to where you want it.
This is what members in Melbourne, Australia said about receiving their new boats.
"We do indeed have three K1’s here in SYC, Melbourne. All came separately and without problems."
Ovington have announced that the K2 moulds are coming out of storage in 2025

K1 No. 26 For Sale
Click on images for full view
K1 Dinghy no 26, Sails beautifully both times I have sailed it. Following Spinal Surgery earlier in August, the Surgeon has recommended I stop sailing dinghies, even ones you can’t capsize.
I looked at a few K1’s before I bought this one, while a bit older ( I think it was built around 2012) it is in superb condition and comes with all the race mods and tuning guides.
Comes with 2 &1/2 suits of sails, the 3rd jib is unused and one set of sails look virtually new. The boat goes brilliantly on the oldest sails, I won both pursuit races easily on the old sails.
Hull, carbon fibre spars and foils are pretty much unmarked and the combo trailer is in superb condition.
The under and over covers are like new.
