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 No. 142 For Sale
K1 number 142
She has been at Wimbleball since delivery in May 2018, not sailed or travelled elsewhere. Lovely boat. In good condition, never damaged or required repairs. Not used as much as she deserves. Now that I am crewing a Fireball, I cannot justify keeping her.
All equipment is original including:
sails, cover and trolley.
I added some Rooster Pro Grip deck tape which works well.
£6700.
