KIS 4.7
Designed by Paolo Lodigiani and Matteo Costa
The largest of the KIS series, drawn around the rig of a popular production dinghy so that the builder can buy or find the spars and sails rather than make them. The hulls differ from their parent dinghies, which is deliberate; what is shared is the rig they are set up to carry.
The largest of the KIS dinghies at 4.70 m, drawn around an existing class rig so the expensive part of a small boat can be bought rather than built. Chine hull, stitch and glue, a beginner build.
What building a KIS 4.7 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.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
