How to spot one of our kits?
Well we started with an order from the Knysna Yacht Club of five boats, that soon became eight boats, we did a special club deal with North Sails and a deck pack supplier. This works well when a club or group can do a bulk order, we pass on our discounts and the buyer scores. With an owner builder set up, the savings are large over a plastic made hull.
All of the original series of Optimist kits were marked as you can see in the photo, I note its dated 17th April 2005, so thats seven years back now. If you do not fancy the boat being marked with our logo and hull number, its easy to reverse the bulkhead and it will then be on the inside.

The CKD Boats hull number 14, we have done many more since then!

The wood/epoxy kit Optimist from CKD Boats cc weighs within the class requirement, its around 32kgs? weighed against some imported boats from China and using five of our boat builds, it worked out to be lighter on all of our boats.
How good is that!
