K E L S A L L CATAMARANS

Backed by a world of experience on the water, in the boatyard, and in the design office

Kelsall Catamarans was established in Cornwall, United Kingdom in 1965. The company's boat design and boat building operations produced a wide range of craft, all based on the use of PVC foam. Three projects by this company were the largest boats of their type at the time.

We have over 40 years of specialising in catamarans and composites, and developing the KSS (Kelsall Swiftbuild Sandwich) custom build process. We are the World Leaders in this field. Kelsall Catamarans Limited now runs its successful office from New Zealand since moving here in 1998.

W E L C O M E

Kelsall Catamarans can supply either a standard design from our extensive range of power, sailing, racing and commercial boats, or a custom design to suit. Our standard designs range from a 22 ft day catamaran to an 82 ft power/sail. Choose from luxury cruisers, fast cruisers, minimum accommodation cruisers. Lots to choose from in the 22 - 60 ft range.

Our custom designs are usually larger boats, high performance racers and specials. We have experience with power and commercial designs, including 500 passenger ferries. All are equally applicable for KSS build and get the maximum benefit from the KSS process. KSS can be applied to other designs. The KSS technology can be supplied separately, accordingly. The New Design Projects page showcases our current custom design projects.
