The K6
Beautifully balanced, the K6 is a lightweight asymmetric performance dinghy. An exciting boat to sail, it offers fantastic performance in light airs or a good breeze. With the kite up downwind, the boat feels like it’s on rails. Effortless.
The K6 is so well mannered under power, the lifting keel giving the boat real stability. The cockpit is well laid out with controls readily to hand. Launching and recovery is easy for a boat its size.
Second hand boats are always in demand, see our Classifieds page for the latest listings.
