Knysna 440 & 480
Sixty of this evergreen and "classic" boat have been built so far. She is comfortable and one of the fastest cruising cats in her class. She won the Cape to Rio Race cat division in 2000, and has managed a close second previously. She easily manages over 200 miles / day in tradewind conditions. The boat has been used extensively in the Caribbean as a charter boat, and many have world cruised in private hands. This design has been continuously updated over the years, now the MK III version.
