Weathermark Sailboats in conjunction with the K6 Class Association is excited to announce the acquisition of the K6 moulds, continuing the company's ongoing commitment to performance sailing. This, our exciting K6 one-design racing keelboat, continues its legacy under the expert guidance of the company and the Class Association.

The acquisition ensures certainty for the K6 and more importantly spare parts. It also gives a clear future for the class.

Dave Hall, Weathermark, says: "I look forward to continuing working with sailors, clubs, and the K6 Class Association to support and grow the K6 class both in the UK and internationally. Watch this space for news regarding new boats, in the meantime spares such as the foils can now be supplied."

K6 Class Association Chair, John Tabor, says: "Great news, securing the future of this brilliant keelboat and continuing our relationship with Weathermark, fantastic!"
