K6 Class association

K6 Class web site now up and running!   at

The K6 was designed for those who do not want to trapeze and the target group is that band of people who are not small enough to race the majority of small sailboats. Whilst there is nothing to stop people sailing with a trapeze for fun - and yes it has been done in Germany, the class will stay as it is. There are too few boats for the larger sailor and the K6 meets the need perfectly giving exciting sailing and racing for those who are maybe normal European size. The last thing the class needs is to end up needing less crew weight in the boat. With fleets growing on the Blackwater, Torbay, Carsington, Itchenor and various other clubs there is a renewed enthusiasm for the class which will be good for all those 'normal' size sailors.

Does he not use it for single handed sailing, I'm sure
there is one guy that does as it can be done and is pretty
easy to sail I remember reading might even have been
somebody on here.

Maybe they just don't read this forum?

I believe that you can still buy a K6 from RS, and Rondar
who are the original/ only builders have now taken the
class over - the RS association still manages the circuit
events though IIRC
