Meet Red Kite – Agile, Ambitious, and Ready to Race or Cruise

Red Kite is a striking and highly capable yacht, designed to deliver an exhilarating sailing experience whether you’re out for a family cruise or pushing hard with a competitive crew. Built in 2016, she’s a modern, responsive yacht that blends race-ready performance with practical features and comfort—making her a true all-rounder.

Equipped with a tiller, Red Kite offers precise, hands-on control and a classic sailing feel that both seasoned sailors and cruising enthusiasts will appreciate. Her layout and handling make her just as suited to relaxed Solent pottering as she is to tight racing manoeuvres.

Fast in light winds and impressively stable in heavier conditions, Red Kite appeals to cruising families and ambitious racers alike. She delivers both excitement and ease, with thoughtful design touches that make life onboard enjoyable and efficient.
