KIS 4.0

The smallest of four dinghies drawn to be rigged with the spars and sails of a boat that already exists, so a builder is not making a mast and buying a sail: this one takes Laser gear, new or second hand. 4 m, chine hulled, stitch and glue, a beginner build.

What building a KIS 4.0 actually takes

Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
