Announcement Content:
Within weeks of the K8 Sports hitting the water for the very first time, we are proud to announce the sale of K8 #2. This new boat will be gong to the USA and we are confident that there will be more to follow it.
The K8 Sports is the world's first production boat to feature our SRW technology. The SRW, or semi rigid wing, uses a patented technology that creates a semi rigid aerofoil structure but is still capable of being easily hoisted, reefed and stowed. The SRW is a breakthrough in practicality, usability and reliability of wing sails. It’s simple, lightweight design means that the SRW can be applied to a wide range of sailing yachts.
Nicolas Goldenberg of G Yacht Design has worked with Advanced Wing Systems to design a light, fast, user friendly and enjoyable, 8m sports boat. "The K8 is unlike any other sports boat on the market, simply because all other boats have been designed for conventional rigs. The initial design brief from Advanced Wing Systems was to create an exciting sports boat that is easy to sail with a small crew. The K8 has modern, powerful lines to take advantage of the extra power of the wing. The wide chines provide narrow heeled waterlines and high stability allows the boat to be sailed with 3-5 crew. The trend is away from sports boats which require a crew of 6 or more super athletic members, and the SRW makes this easier to achieve."
