Vessel Overview
Kinetic Catamarans builds ultra-light, high-performance multihulls leveraging carbon composite construction and cutting-edge marine technology. These sophisticated vessels cater to serious sailors who refuse to compromise between luxury accommodations and exceptional speed potential. Each Kinetic catamaran receives custom finishing to align with its intended use profile, whether focused on racing prowess or long-distance cruising capability.
Jo Fensham Contribution
Jo Fensham provided meticulously customised lightweight furnishings and soft materials engineered specifically to complement these performance-oriented vessels. Jo Fensham’s team developed salon seating systems using advanced composite substructures to minimize weight impact while maintaining comfort and durability. Cockpit cushions were precision-designed to integrate seamlessly with the vessel’s racing ergonomics, providing support during high-angle sailing without interfering with critical operations. Luxurious marine bedding solutions incorporated weight-saving technologies and secure positioning features for offshore conditions. Throughout each project, Jo Fensham maintained strict adherence to the weight parameters and performance characteristics established in each vessel’s design brief, ensuring their upholstery contributions enhanced rather than compromised the catamarans’ sailing capabilities.
