APPEARANCE IS EVERYTHING!

The Kiss25 is built entirely without gelcoat. Instead, the hull is painted with high-performance epoxy paint directly onto the carbon.

Why does that matter?

✅ STRONGER SURFACE: Epoxy bonds chemically with the carbon laminate, creating a tougher, more impact-resistant skin than a gelcoat layer that simply sits on top.

✅ LIGHTER BUILD: No heavy gelcoat means less weight where you don't want it. No need for fiber glass layer.

✅ TOTAL FREEDOM ON PAINT SCHEME: Because the paint goes on after the laminate, you choose the colors. Classic, bold, understated, or something nobody's seen before ... the Kiss25 wears whatever you design.

✅ FAIR RACING BY DESIGN: The epoxy-on-carbon surface can't be faired or "optimized" to gain an edge. Every Kiss25 leaves the yard with the same fast finish and superior quality so the racing comes down to crew, tactics, and boatspeed: exactly as it should be. We love the speed ... not the speed job!

It's a more demanding process in the build, but the result is a hull that's stronger on the outside, lighter overall, and competitive on equal terms from day one.

KISS25 IS MOVING FROM DESIGN TO PRODUCTION!

Our design lead Thomas is at Neo Yachts and Composites to take the next decisive steps: turning the KISS25 from drawings, engineering and ambition into carbon, tooling and finally a boat on the water.

This is where the project becomes real. A new 25-foot, all-carbon One-Design sportsboat is about to take shape, built for sailors who want more speed, more precision and more performance without any compromise.

Let production begin.

KEELING ME SOFTLY // KISS25

At the heart of the KISS25 sits a T-shaped lifting keel designed to combine performance and speed in one highly efficient package.

The geometry is simple for a reason:
A deep, narrow vertical blade gives the boat the leverage needed to carry power efficiently upwind, while the torpedo bulb places ballast exactly where it works best, low and concentrated.

The result is a keel that delivers high righting moment, low drag and strong all-round control.

We make use a top-bolted keel system instead of a traditional wedged keel box. The keel bolts into a titanium plate laminated into the structure and positioned by the mould tooling itself, giving a positioning tolerance of just ±0.5 mm. That means better precision, repeatability and one-design consistency.

But the KISS25 keel is not only about raw numbers. Because it is a lifting keel, the boat becomes far more versatile in the real world: easier trailing, easier launching, easier storage, and access to harbours and sailing areas that fixed-keel boats simply cannot use. That flexibility is a key part of the concept.

We have also integrated a kelp cutter into the leading edge setup. In high-performance sailing, even small amounts of w**d or floating debris can destroy flow, reduce pointing ability and cost valuable boat speed. The cutter is there for one reason: to help keep the foil clean and the boat fast when it matters.

So the KISS25 keel is designed to do three jobs at once:
• Create maximum stability for performance sailing
• Lift when practicality matters ashore and afloat
• Protect performance by cutting free kelp and debris

It is a modern keel package for sailors who want serious one-design speed without compromising the usability needed in real life.

Low drag. High leverage. Real-world usability. That is the KISS25 approach.

WHAT ABOUT THE CREW?

The core dimensions of the KISS25 platform are now fixed, and hull #1 is close to entering production.

In One Design racing, box-rule dimensions are only one part of the equation. The other, and often more decisive factor is the sporting framework and policies built around the class. Crew rules, owner-driver philosophy, pro-sailor limits, and format governance are what ultimately define whether a class becomes merely fair, or genuinely compelling.

THAT CONVERSATION STARTS NOW!

Over the next series of posts, we want to open the discussion around the Grand Prix format for KISS25. We begin with the most important subject of all: crew composition.
• Should the class operate with a maximum crew weight?
• Should there be a minimum and maximum crew number?
• Should the number of professional sailors onboard be restricted?
• Should a professional sailor be permitted to helm if he or she is not the owner?

These decisions shape the racing, the ownership model, and the long-term identity of the class.

We would greatly value your input in the comments.

ONE-PIECE INNER STRUCTURE. ONE CONTINUOUS LOAD PATH.

A fundamental part of the KISS25 platform is the single-piece internal structural module.

This component is not just an interior moulding or buoyancy insert. It is a fully integrated structural element that combines flotation, global stiffness and primary load absorption in one engineered unit. Because the structure is built from a single mould, every hull is reproduced to extremely tight tolerances. That level of dimensional accuracy ensures true one-design fairness across the fleet.

The shroud and runner terminations are taken directly into this structure, creating a clean and highly efficient load path from the rig into the hull. Rather than feeding high rig loads into secondary local reinforcements, the loads are introduced into the boat’s main structural backbone, where they can be distributed properly through the hull shell.

The same principle applies to the lifting keel assembly, which is mounted directly into the same internal structure. This means the two dominant load sources in the boat — rig compression / side loads and keel bending / grounding loads — are resolved through one continuous structural system.

From an engineering perspective, this delivers several key advantages:
- Improved global stiffness
- Better load distribution
- Reduced risk of local stress concentration
- Tighter control of keel and rig alignment under load
- Lower structural compromise between performance and safety

An additional benefit is that the structure also functions as a flotation volume, adding reserve buoyancy without introducing unnecessary complexity.

In simple terms:
the KISS25 is built around a true internal backbone, where the major forces from rig and keel are transferred into the hull through the shortest, stiffest and most direct possible route.

That is exactly how a modern high-performance sportsboat should be engineered.

YES … jib angle is one of the hidden payoffs of boomerang spreaders, because they change what geometry is even possible for the shrouds and therefore where you can realistically put the jib.

The basic conflict: narrow sheeting vs. rig geometry
For upwind performance you generally want the jib to sheet inboard enough to hit the right leech angle / slot (especially with a high-aspect jib and a powerful main). But the jib can only sheet as narrow as the “hard limits” allow:
- Shrouds (D1/D2) and spreaders define a physical fence.
- If the jib leech or sheet wants to pass through that fence, it won’t—so you’re forced to sheet wider or distort the sail.

How boomerang spreaders help jib angle (without making the boat weird):
Boomerang spreaders “push” the shrouds outboard where they cross the jib’s leech and sheet path, which buys you options:

Cleaner path for narrow sheeting:
With more outboard shrouds, you can run the jib sheet and leech closer to centerline without chafe or snag risk. That means you can hit a tighter sheeting angle (inboard lead position) while still allowing proper twist and leech tension.

Better leech control without shroud interference:
On straight spreaders, when you try to sheet tight, the jib leech often ends up “living on” the shrouds in puffs or waves. The boomerang shape reduce that contact, so you can keep the jib leech working as an airfoil, not as a flag draped over rigging.

Bommerang spreaders increase that lead window because you’re not instantly “stopped” by shroud/spreader geometry when you change modes.

Why this matters specifically on KISS25 ...Our boat is set up to be trimmed like a small Grand Prix boat: square-top main, runners/backstay, and a jib that needs to be efficient across a wider wind range than a simple cruising-style rig.

YES … THE KISS25 HAS RUNNERS. BECAUSE WE LIKE POWER ON DEMAND!

Runners on a sportsboat aren’t “80ies IOR complexity”. They’re one of the most powerful speed tools you can bolt onto a light, overpowered platform like the KISS25.
That’s why we have them! ✅

What runners actually buy you:

🎮 Real forestay control = real upwind mode With runners you can lock in headstay tension when it matters. That means a flatter jib, less sag, better pointing, and a wider groove. In breeze, that’s the difference between hanging on and actually racing.

🪫 Depower without destroying the rig On small boats that are overpowered, the missing control is almost always headstay + main shape management. Without runners (and especially without a traveller) you end up depowering with crude tools: twist it until it’s ugly, ease sheet until you’re slow, or pray. Runners let you depower by controlling depth/entry and keeping the rig stable while you change modes.

💨 Downwind stability without “overbuilding” Remove runners and you often have to compensate somewhere else: a heavier mast section to survive the compression loads that show up downwind when you’re driving hard without a backstay doing its job. So the “simpler” rig can quietly become heavier, with more inertia, more pitching, and less performance in waves.

📐 Better range across angles Distance, reachy kites, C0/A3-style sailing, runners give you the option to hold shape and stay fast without doing mast pilates.

➕ So yeah… runners add a job. But they also add control, range, and speed, and they let the boat stay light and purpose-built instead of “reinforced to survive.”

Why remove such a powerful trim tool on a sportsboat?
You don’t! ❌
