A Kiel Classic is a wolf in sheep skin. When cruising at slow speeds, its sweet retro-designed looks are deceptive. Running at 30+ knots, up on a plane, the deep-V FRP hull slices through choppy seas without any hard slamming forces. The ride is fast, comfortable, and dry. (A Kiel Classic 27 is powered with single unit 160- 360 hp diesel stern drives.)
Below deck, beneath the characteristic raised bow, the weekend accommodation for two featuring a large V-shaped settee/ bunk, pantry, wc/bathroom, is more than ample. Furthermore an easily erected cockpit awning increases living space for children (they love to sleep on the warm engine hatch), or a for sheltered drinks and a meal.
