Quote from the builder, Craig Partridge: "I didn't want a planing boat, and I didn't want outboards, so Ron and I got together and came up with this concept. I wanted something cheap to run, big and comfortable and really good in a sea way - a good sea boat. " Kerikeri's Craig Partridge partnered with multihull legend Ron Given to create this 10.8m powercat which delivered exactly what he needed to enjoy some well-earned leisure time. Partridge and Given joined forces on the project after delivering a Given-designed T11 powercat to New Caledonia in 2010. The pair took just two days and 18 hours to deliver the 12m cat 936 miles to Noumea. This got them talking about fuel-efficient, moderate-speed displacement powercats and led to the genesis of this boat, Kismet. The hull shape of Kismet had its genesis in another Given powercat, a 12m design launched in 2003. This boat combined an efficient hull form with moderate horsepower to produce a comfortable, fuel-efficient displacement cruiser with a reasonable turn of speed. "The concept was a highly efficient boat that performs well in all sea conditions, " says Given. A displacement boat that is highly economical. " Kismet is the result. A stunning, comfortable, easily driven powercat with room to spare.
