Im never tired of watching Kraken yachts. Amazing build, done with blue water cruising in mind. Really, no BS. Pure good quality. Dick thought about everything.
Bravo! This is the only manufacturer (that I know of ...or have found) that is willing to allow the public into their company....to be part of their "community"!.. A main website...build videos like this...Show case videos - (focussing on the boat - not the models).....free online magazine (that actually answers the publics questions)....Podcasts....this is wonderful!!!! Keep up the great work. May your efforts bring many more into the incredible world of sailing.
Enjoyed this alot !!!!! Is there a way to make the navigation desk hinged to go up and allow better access to the electric panels underneath ? It seemd that one would be bent over when working on these items. Additionally, I am curious as to why the single sink and nit double sink. I am just getting into the sailing vibe and I am trying to learn as much information as possible from sail proven minds. I will want to do as much solar as possible and eliminate need for using a genset to a minimum. Are electric heads best and are you beautifullly designed vessels designed for useof sea water at all knowing yiu have a watermaker on obard? Once again, I want to thank you for your sharing of valuable information to us less knowledgeable / novice sailors !!!!!
Hello, it would be possible to make a hinge here however there is actually a lot of space and if you see the boat in the flesh I think you would agree it is not needed. Clients can choose from a large single or smaller double sinks. As for solar, we can deck out the top of the bimini which is a good amount :) Heads are electric as standard and are seawater as standard. You can change this to manual if you wanted and also we can install a crossover for sea water / fresh water.
To much stuff under the floor. My tayana 55 can fill with water all the way up to the engine. or more before it will cause any problems with any system
Actually this is not the case. Due to the ZERO keel, the bilge void on a Kraken 50, a smaller boat than the Tayana 55, has far greater bilge capacity. Its keel is not ¾ filled with shot steel ballast. Kraken's Dick Beaumont owned a Tayana 58 prior to building his Kraken 66.
the best part is built with seaman experience make it almost zero failure . what about use more nature energy and not too much dependent on generator as possible ?
The Tayana definitely is dependent on the generator. 10 kw . The skeg should of been design with bronze or stainless guts . In front of the quadrant the skeg support beam is attaches to a steel platform that’s attached to some stringers and the lazzeretts front wall. In the skeg is some type of fiberglass rod attached to the skegs steel support beam in the skeg somewhere around where the beam meets the hull . I see why he was interested in upgrading the skeg on the kraken with better material. The Tayanas failed and rusted overtime and I rebuilt the platform and beefed up the stringers around the rudder post. the inside of the skeg really needs rebuilt for long hard sailing. . A
A question for Kraken. Where the strut is attached. Was the hull cut to a square then a fiberglass platform glassed over the hole from the inside . Then the strut can be set up into the hole for less drag . On my Tayana that was a weak spot.. how is the v strut attached from the inside for adjustment to the shaft
I also love the master cabin in back... almost square bed is also easy to made after sleeping.

This video builds trust in this boat and the Kraken brand.

Thank you :) We hope to bring you all a lot closer in during the launch and test sails with more video content.
Stunning boats
Very interesting to see in the video format. Can't wait to see more updates with build. ❤
We hope you enjoyed it, check back to see more soon. The launch will be covered extensively.
I am convinced that this is the boat for me, there are a few difficulties I need to overcome before I can set sail on one.
She is going to be an amazing cruiser!
Thanks! She will and expect more content very soon
Awesome...!
Love your boats, to bad I will never be able to afford one, so amazing!
start buy lottery every week
Good work.
Thank you, more to come.
Looks nice

I need to see the details of the keel…
Prove to me it’s unbreakable
You might have just knocked Amel off the list.
I just wonder what are the solutions for storing waste and toilet water?
Each head has a black water tank and there is a centralised grey water tank.
Turkish !
