Kattum K-30

Just an Evolution... Before Getting the Most out of a Promising Powercat?

The multihull concept is now conquering all market sectors and all countries. The new K-30, designed and produced in Spain, is presented as a compact powercat - a concept that is very popular in the USA and the Caribbean, though much less so in Europe. Initially, the small Kattums (a 38 is due to be launched shortly) are positioned as an alternative to European monohull dayboats.

Unlike the K-28, with which it sharesthe same base, the K-30 features a large aft platform surrounding the engines.

The Kattum K-30 is a new power catamaran from Spain, with a pleasingly simple, modern design.

The catamaran concept gives the K-30 a generous deck area, partly shaded by the wide T-top.

The K-30 we’re interested in today is in fact a lengthened version of the 28, a modification that is evident on the aft platform, which on the K-30 completely surrounds the engines. It’s an interesting option that really lets you enjoy swimming or boarding easily from the dock or aboard a jet ski. What’s more, hatches can be opened to easily raise the engines.

Clean, Modern Lines

Aesthetically, the K-30’s design is uncluttered, with rather rectilinear lines, particularly on the deck edge, which curves aft to meet the swimming platform. The bow, meanwhile, remains fairly high, a plus for crew protection. An attractive T-top gives this powercat a modern, almost minimalist look.
Although it’s a catamaran, its beam remains contai...
