KSS is a boat building concept. Like all good innovation, it is relatively simple to understand and to put into practice, which is confirmed by the range of comments that reach us daily. "Elegant but so simple" is our favourite.

There is a lot at stake for someone deciding to build their own catamaran and we understand that some may become more cautious when coming to make that final decision on which way to build.

The KSS workshop is the answer to this concern. Those who come and get the hands on experience are left in no doubt. KSS is the best custom build method. Achieve full structures, without compromise of quality and with materials savings, in half the time of the typical custom build. It is also easy to see why when making a comparison.

Those who attend the workshops (along with those already using KSS) become our best advocates. All of those who have attended workshops have expressed their satisfaction, for example, "exceeded our expectations" & "the only way to build". Those attending range in experience from professional boat builders, to owner builders with several projects behind them, to complete novices. We are left in no doubt that when those who decide to build go ahead, it will be with KSS.

Typically, we produce one hull panel on the first day, a second hull panel on the second day and the hull is shaped on the third. KSS applies to all sizes, with significant gains at the larger sizes. We invite anyone keen on hosting or attending workshops to contact us.
