KC54

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 Dominique Salandre, who was able to sail the 54 in Annapolis.

Full test in Multihulls World #183 (May-June 2022).
