Moderated KD 122 Italy

 

Hi Bernd, we are nearing the end of the work inside the boat.
Some photos of the modification of the sofa, the modification was used to fit an excellent refrigerator on the kitchen side.
The new stairs have also been completed, the internal hull and door frame lining has been finished, all that remains is the closing of the roof lining of the central cabin.

I was already wondering if we could see nothing from you.
It was logical that there would be changes on the inside. The good thing is that between the bulkheads, anything can be changed without weakening
the structure of the boat.
Did you do some sailing with Zeus or the? DUO 900?

Ciao?
 

As you've always told me: it's difficult to find space in a catamaran with asymmetrical hulls.
From your project I only modified the aft rooms and added an extra bulkhead between BH 4 and 5 to add doors in both the left and right hulls. In my opinion the boat is more comfortable at cruising level for 6 people.
The customer wanted to modify the sofa to create space for a good refrigerator.
Unfortunately the delay is due to the certification of the electrical system so the interior had these delays. The design of the electrical system was made by an engineer.
The KD122 Ital will have EU certification without limits from the coast.

For the DUO 900 we will test the mainsail on the wing mast. Unfortunately he missed the summer season....

Zeus works well in charter, I will send you several videos along the Gargano National Park (Puglia)
Wonderful boat like ZEUS....
 

Hi Domenico

Thank you for the information.?
The problem with bigger boats
Too much interior to build and it can get lost in details.
OK, your situation is different. The boat is built?for a client.
I am curious about the videos from the Puglia region
I just got an old picture from the area I made many years ago in my fingers during?the same period, we sailed the DUO 425 there.
We needed 3 hours to set up the?boat on the beach with all the friendly help from the people from Vieste.?
Normally the boat is set up in 15 minutes.

Cheers? Bernd
 

And yes, one of the wonderful places on my coast.
The photo shows the arch of San Felice south of Vieste.
I have two videos of the Kd 860 Zeus ready, how can I send them to you? Private mail?
?
Ps the KD 122 I can assure you that it is not only a light but robust boat. A jewel will emerge at the end of the work.
 


Ursi and I are on our DUO 425 on the beach from Vieste 1986.
Fantastic sailing with the DU 425 prototype. The boat was a sensation.
Nobody had seen a parallel rig catamaran at this time.
We were there for four weeks in Vieste.?
Please send me the videos to my email.

Cheers

Bernd
 

Bernd, great photo. A pity there were no videos from your sailing of the 425 prototype. Those are great looking sails and very modern looking for 1986. Having good sails for a boat is more important than a lot of people realise.?

cheers , Bryan

We made in this time for a part our sails too. These were developed with a very good sailmaker in the Netherlands.
This was before big companies like BIC were stepping into the windsurfing business.
Remember, this was before the digital time. So no videos.?

Cheers
Bernd
