As a designer, builder, sailor, and one of the most innovative pioneers in the development of modern multihulls, the late Derek Kelsall left an enduring legacy of experience, style, and groundbreaking ideas.

​

Kelsall Catamarans, the design company he established in Cornwall, United Kingdom, in 1965, became renowned for its expertise in using PVC foam to produce a wide range of craft.

 

For 20 years, Derek operated a boat-building company alongside the design firm, creating some of the largest and most advanced multihulls of their time. In 1998, the company relocated to New Zealand, where it continues to operate.

Though Derek Kelsall is no longer with us, his innovative spirit lives on through Kelsall Catamarans.

 

The company remains dedicated to offering both standard designs from an extensive range of power, sailing, racing, and commercial boats, as well as custom designs tailored to meet specific needs. His vision endures, ensuring that his cutting-edge designs can still be realized today.
