Kingfisher 20, 20+ and 22.

3 comments:

Quite interesting but not 100% accurate as I own a Kingfisher K20+ that was originally fitted with an inboard. The engine was allegedly a Brit Imp 5HP petrol and it was a failure. The original owner who had the boat built for himself removed the engine and disposed of it. Unfortunately the propeller was hack-sawed off to reduce drag so there is now no propeller or P bracket. Fitting a diesel engine is going to be quite a mission as the access hatch for the Brit Imp is rather small and I am rather loth to start cutting the boat about. It might be possible to fit a Kubota Z482 engine or a Yanmar IGM10 engine underneath the sink. The Kubota is favourite if it can be made to fit. Some cutting will be needed but the area would be out of sight. The original hatch could then be used for access to the stern gland.

I almost bought a 22 in Washington state in 92 that had a 1GM Awesome little boat

I own a 22 with no well and a long cockpit

Kingfisher 20+

Kingfisher 20+ is a 21 ′ 7 ″ / 6.6 m monohull sailboat designed by R.A.G. Nierop and built by Westfield Engineering Co. (Marine) Ltd. between 1967 and 1978.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

KINGFISHER 20 (Mk1) 1959 to 1959. Sail Numbers 1 to c.6 Keels moulded out of fibreglass as part of the hull. Transom hung rudder, large transom locker, engine well with removable seat sited at aft end of cockpit, fore hatch on the fore deck

KINGFISHER 20 (Mk2) 1959 to 1967. Sail Numbers c.6 to 267 Cast Iron keels. Later versions housed the engine in the transom locker using a pivot method similar to the 20+. Otherwise as per the K20 (Mk1).

KINGFISHER 20 Fin Keel. Year and Sail Number unknown One produced and exported to Scandinavia.

KINGFISHER 20+ 1967 to 1978. Sail Numbers 268 to 464 Rudder shaft inboard through the transom, engine on swivel mechanism within the transom locker, hinged fore hatch located on fore cabin roof. There is also a long cockpit version primarily designed for the American market. Extra 70lbs of weight.

KINGFISHER 20+JR 1975 to 1978. Sail Numbers as K20+ but with JR at the end of the number. Sail number. 414JR is the oldest member number, 412JR being the earliest I’‘m currently aware of. As 20+ but junk rigged. Fore hatch back on fore deck because mast stepped though the fore cabin roof. Came with either standard windows or portholes.

KINGFISHER 22 1978 to 1981. Sail Numbers 465 to x This is identical to the K20+ except for a change in appearance when marketed by Kingfisher Yachts. The renaming to K22 was directly related to the boat length of 21’‘7” . This model was listed in the P.B.O. guide to yachts in 1978 as the Hasler KINGFISHER 22.

KINGFISHER 22JR 1978 to 1981. Sail Numbers as K22 but with JR at the end of the number.

Excellent work, that little beast should be a ball up on the Lakes!  

Nice looking project. I want to know more about the deuce and a half in the background.:grin  

Well it just so happens that we have an entire thread on that very topic. www.operationeastwind.com/forum/index.php?topic=3459.0 This is a link to the website for Operation Eastwind, and the story of that particular truck. For those that wonder about the name for Aswayze's boat, this website contains the answer.  

Good for you! The boat reminds me of my Westerly Nomads. Like a little sister. Enjoy!  

There are aspects of the Kingfisher that make me wonder why it does not look more like the nomad. The side decks for example are tiny, and effectively useless. Other than (maybe) aesthetics, the Nomand full width cabin makes more sense. There is just something fun about having a pair of boats, which also ends up making everything a race. We hope to sail this one in May or June on the great lakes. But in the meantime we have refit work to do, and plenty of planning for routes, especially where to put in the water.  

What's your status with this boat? Did you ever complete? Looking for info on the keel bolts. Lee C K20 sail # 111  

You are right in what you say. I looked ad dozens of boats before happening upon the Nomads. In small boats, many builders sacrificed functionality for convention and ascetics. I looked at a 19 foot bilge keel boat that had side decks so narrow I couldn't place my foot sideways without it riding on the toe rail. In a small boat concessions need to be made. One thing I want to mention is that bilge keel boats get a bad rap for being slow, but my experience is that a majority of them were built in England for North Sea conditions which are much more extreme than the East coast USA where I sail. The sails are heavily built. If you want to maximize performance, get the largest light air (ie. light fabric weight) sails she will carry and you will be amazed at the difference. One of the greatest advantages of the Nomad is that she has external cast iron keels. No need to worry if you bump anything in skinny waters or roughly settle on rock when drying out. Fiberglass is much more prone to damage so be careful there. Fair winds  

I looked at this same Akron twin keeler. What did you do about the rusty keel nuts? I've seen people drill fresh holes into iron keels tap n thread for fresh bolts between the old bolts

Review of Kingfisher 20

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

The Kingfisher 20 is equipped with a bilge keel. A bilge keel is a double keel, which allows the boat to be beached. Bilge keels are the most popular keel for tidal waters.

The keel is made of iron. Many people prefer lead keel in favour of iron. The main argument is that lead is much heavier than iron and a lead keel can therefore be made smaller which again result in less wet surface, i.e. less drag. In fact iron is quite heavy, just 30% less heavy than lead, so the advantage of a lead keel is often overstated.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.71 - 0.81 meter (2.33 - 2.63 ft) dependent on the load.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

Sorry, we have no sailing characteristics available for this boat.

Kingfisher 20+ junk rig

Bajansailor

Well-known member.

I was sorting out some old magazines and came across an interesting 3 page article with photos from Yachting World (May 1976) about sailing the junk rigged Kingfisher 20+. The boat in the photos is 'Clover Louise', and she was registered in Poole then. If anybody would like a copy I can scan it and email it to you, no worries.  

I'd like a copy. Sent PM with email addy. Thanks.  

Thanks Bajansailor We also featured a junk-rigged Kingfisher in PBO in 2006 when we tested the Sea Feather self steering system. The Kingfisher has a surprising amount of room below ( especially when compared to my fractionally longer Corribee) and sails very well. Out of the water, with it's dumpy keels and strangely blunt appearance, it doesn't look as though it should. But then, one did come second on the Jester Atlantic, didn't it....!!  

• 28 Feb 2008

Some pals of mine used to have a Kingfisher 20 (sloop rig) 20 years ago in England, and I used to go on cruises with them - Kingfishers are wonderful wee boats for sure. And yes, lots of room down below - five of us went on a summer pub crawl (sorry, cruise) one year - during the first week we got as far as Poole (from Southampton) and then I had to catch the train back (work beckoned...), but the other four got as far as Weymouth I think. My bunk was on the floor in the saloon, as everybody else was bigger than me..... but it was still comfortable, and we had a blast. The boat cost them 2k, minimal maintenance costs, and they sold her about 5 years later for 2k. Cant argue with that. I also have a Builder's catalogue from the mid 70's re the Kingfisher if anybody would like a scanned copy. Jake, PBO also had an article by Keith Diggle in the March 1976 issue called 'Two keels, one sail' about the junk rigged Kingfisher - I have a copy of this as well.  

Blueboatman

The really interesting article (Y/Monthly or PBO,mid 80s -mid 90s....) if someone can find it (Jake ?) was written by the late Blondie Hasler describing a trip in a Kingfisher round one of the Scottish islands-probably Jura cos he lived right by there-in appalling weather. He discovered bad weather foibles with the junk rig that he had not previously encountered ever. It was on the basis of that article that I decided to make a trysail for my own junk/r Corribee which attached to the mast with a simple lacing and sheeted to a cockpit cleat,and which I reckoned would sustain a knockdown without busting the mast or normal sail's battens,yard and boom. I used it but was never knocked down. Unfortunately I have lost the article some time back.

I'd love to read that one!

5 Most-Common Problems With Kingfisher Boats

Kingfisher boats have been around for over 60 years.

They currently have 29 models to choose from and over 40 authorized dealers to buy them from. These dealers range in location from up north in Alaska to the northern and central areas of California.

This company makes fantastic boats, but that doesn’t mean they are completely free from problems.

In this post, we’ll explore some of the most common problems with Kingfisher boats:-

Table of Contents

1. Low Sides:

Many boat owners believe that Kingfisher boats have low sides.

After taking a look at their top-selling models, I’d have to agree with this assessment.

The problem with low sides on a boat is that this can lead to a boat becoming swamped easier.  When a boat is swamped, it runs the risk of sinking.  Needless to say, this should be a big concern for any boat owner.

Fortunately, Kingfisher has a self-bailing deck.  This means that even though more water may get into your Kingfisher boat when compared to other boats, this water will drain out all on its own.

As a result, you shouldn’t have to worry about issues like swamping.

On top of this, the self-bailing feature is great for keeping your boat clean.  Fishing can be messy, and it can leave a boat full of blood and guts.

With a self-bailing boat, you won’t really have this problem, and the water that comes in over the sides may even reduce the amount of cleaning you have to do, as well as the fact that you are closer to the water for fishing!

2. High Purchase Prices:

Kingfisher boats aren’t cheap.

These boats are made from heavy-gauge aluminum, and skilled craftsmen weld them together.

They’re also carefully designed to not only be tough, rugged, and durable but also to perform well in rough water.

Heavy-gauge aluminum, experienced welders, and expert designers cost money, and the cost shows within the purchase prices of Kingfisher boats.

As a result, some people feel that Kingfisher boats cost too much.

Good Build Quality:

This being said, a boat can’t be built with high-cost materials and expensive laborers and still be a cheap boat.

Compare Kingfisher boats with other boats of similar build quality, and you’ll find that the prices are quite reasonable.

For instance, Duckworth makes welded aluminum boats in similar sizes to that of Kingfisher.

When I did a price search on their boats, they were priced similarly to Kingfisher boats.

The same can be said for other welded aluminum boat manufacturers like Hewescraft and Thunder Jet.

These boats may all seem a bit pricey on the surface, but when you look at the quality of the materials used, and the quality of the craftsmanship put into each model, you’ll find that they really don’t cost any more than any other boat brand.

3. Pacific Northwestern Build-Style:

From Canada and Alaska’s great wilderness to the seas of California, the Pacific Northwest is known for its high seas and large lakes and rivers.

Kingfisher boats are built right in the center of these Pacific Northwest regions on Canada’s Swan Lake, and the boat models that Kingfisher builds represent these areas perfectly.

However, if you’re not from one of these areas, you might not need your boat to be built so ruggedly.

For example, a person fishing for largemouth bass on a lake in New Jersey could just as easily fish from a riveted aluminum boat without any trouble.

For this angler, paying the extra money for a heavy-gauge welded aluminum boat wouldn’t make much sense.

On the other hand, an angler fishing from a riveted aluminum boat off the coast of Alaska could end up getting themselves killed, so there are certainly times when quality matters.

Kingfisher boats are constructed using aluminum.

As we said earlier, this aluminum is welded together, and this results in a strong boat.

The downside to this is that the boat can be noisier than a fiberglass boat.

This probably won’t even be noticeable while ocean cruising, but it could be cruising through quiet backwaters or while trying to sleep in one of the larger Kingfisher models.

One way to get around this is to make sure you choose a model that includes an appropriate amount of insulation in it.

If the boat you’ve purchased doesn’t sound silent enough to you, add some insulating materials yourself.

This will dampen any sounds that come through your boat.

5. Availability:

As we said earlier, Kingfisher boats are built in the Pacific Northwest.

Because of this, people in the south and on the east coast of the United States might have trouble finding a Kingfisher dealer to buy from.

If you’re from South Carolina and you want to buy a Kingfisher boat, you may end up having to drive a thousand miles before you find one to look at.

This isn’t a deal-breaker, but it can make buying a Kingfisher boat more difficult for some people.

Also, you may want to consider the availability of service providers in your area.  If there aren’t any dealers to sell you the boat in your area, there may not be dealers to service your boat either.

A warranty that can’t be used without a 1,500-mile trip might not be worthwhile for you.

On top of this, the regional nature of Kingfisher boats may make it harder for someone from a state in the south to resell this boat.

Many people down south will have never heard of Kingfisher boats, and they might be reluctant to buy a boat they don’t know much about.

General Pros and Cons of Kingfisher Boats

Every boat maker has pros and cons associated with it.

Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of Kingfisher boats:

While there are some cons to owning a Kingfisher boat, there are also many pros.

Here are some of the benefits of owning a Kingfisher boat:

• Kingfisher boats are welded.
• Kingfisher provides premium finishes.
• There are many different Kingfisher models you can choose from.

Because Kingfisher boats are made of a welded aluminum construction, they tend to be more durable than their riveted aluminum competitors.

On top of this, the aluminum that Kingfisher uses is thicker than many of its competitors, so they are more durable.

Kingfisher also makes many models in a wide variety of finishes.

This means that Kingfisher fans can continue to buy from the brand regardless of what size they decide to go with.

Also, Kingfisher customers will be able to choose how luxurious they decide to go with their finishes.

As we stated earlier, there are 5 main cons to owning a Kingfisher boat:

• The sides of Kingfisher boats are often lower than most boats.
• Kingfisher boats are built for the rugged Pacific Northwest.
• A Kingfisher boat may cost more than other boats in its class.
• Welded aluminum boats can be noisier than fiberglass boats.
• Kingfisher boats may be hard to find in your area.

What Do The Reviews Say?

“Efficient hulls with great handling translate into comfort, stability, and savings at the gas pumps. The Kingfishers do have a superior ride and handling to other boats I have tried.”

[Source: Sportfishingbc.com]

As I said earlier, Kingfisher boats are known for handling well on the water.  I think this user summed up the advantages of this quality perfectly.

“The Offshore series from Canada’s largest aluminum pleasure boat builder offers practicality, range, and ease of maintenance for dedicated fishermen and casual cruisers.”

[Source: Canadianyachting.ca]

When a yachting website praises a fishing boat’s ride quality, you know they’re doing something right.

What’s the Resale Value On Kingfisher Boats?

A brand new Kingfisher 1925 Flex Sport will cost you about $50,000.00.

This would include a brand new 200 horsepower engine.

To buy the same boat with the same size engine in a 2018 model (2 years old) will cost you about $40,000.00.  Do the same thing with an 8-year-old 1925 Flex, and you’ll end up paying about $24,000.00.

This means you could end up losing 20% of the boat’s value within 2 years and about half the boat’s value in 8 years.

Most vehicles tend to depreciate at faster rates within the first few years and then slow down as the boat gets older, so this isn’t much of a surprise.

I’d say Kingfisher boats have resale values that are in line with most other boat makers in their class.

Final Thoughts:

I really had a hard time finding any major problems with Kingfisher boats.

They really are great boats, and they’ll be around for years to come.

This being said, I wouldn’t say that Kingfisher boats are for everyone.

Carefully consider your needs before buying a boat and then decide whether Kingfisher is the best brand you can buy to meet those needs.

In the main cabin there is plenty of room for four people to sit in comfort around the cabin table. The standard layout includes gas cooker, sink and work surface for galley and charts. The main and fore cabin are lined up to deck level to prevent condensation. Plenty of stowage space is provided under the bunks and sink unit. The self-draining cockpit accommodates four people with ease. Sealed stowage lockers are provided under the side decks and under the cockpit seats. A unique and popular feature is the unique and self-stowing outboard. The K20 is also available "unfurnished", i.e. without interior mouldings, but ready to sail at £850.

20+ below are two extracts, one from the yachting press and one from an owner "...over three-hundred-and-fifty boats have been produced from this mould which, in itself, shows the appeal of small family cruising boats. This, after all, is why we were at Weymouth, and the Kingfisher happily into our 'Top Ten' boats ... a lot of thought has gone into this boat, including details like the sliding doors separating the two cabins, giving unusually good privacy ... admired, too, was the outboard installation, and the engine hinging forward, rather  than aft, to bring the propeller clear of the water ... particularly admired was the moulded fitting for the galley, right across the ship, under the bridge deck ... the Kingfisher 20 Plus is a good example of straightforward honest boat building and deserves her place in the 'Top Ten'."

from fred g wolff, arlington, Va, USA ... during the sail up to Annapolis we were fortunate to encounter every conceivable weather condition available in the Chesapeake Bay, from dead calm with an unpleasant swell to full gale with very steep, short choppy seas. 'Aries' behaved beautifully under all conditions, and we were able to try all sail combinations including twin genoas. We fully expected her to be seaworthy and rugged, which she was, but we did not expect her to perform as well as she did. She went to nearly hull speed easily and did better than four knots in very light airs. She points quite well and has a very comfortable motion in swells and choppy seas. Being used to our 42-foot Tor Helm cutter which we sold this spring, we were of course quite critical of our new boat's performance, and found that she feels much more like a large boat than her size would lead one to expect.

I would like to particularly comment on the human factors aspect of her design; I have seldom sailed a boat in which the designer has taken so much care to comfort, convenience, and ease of operation - all the hardware is where it belongs, bunk and seat dimensions are proper, and the arrangement ideal. We are also very pleased with the sizing of her cleats and her hardware - so many boats today have toy-size hardware.

As you can gather, we are more than pleased with our Kingfisher. I can think of no single point of criticism.
