The Kraken 50 represents a departure from the modern trend of lightdisplacement, finkeeled production yachts, positioning itself instead as a purposebuilt, "blue water" voyager. Designed by New Zealandbased naval architect Kevin Dibley in collaboration with Kraken founder Dick Beaumont, the vessel is engineered specifically for longdistance ocean crossings where safety and redundancy are prioritized over outright racing speed. The hallmark of the Kraken 50 is its "Zero Keel" construction, a design where the keel and hull are molded as a single, continuous structure with encapsulated ballast. This eliminates the traditional vulnerability of keel bolts and provides a massive structural "grid" capable of withstanding significant groundings or submerged object impacts. As detailed by Kraken Yachts, the hull is further reinforced with an integral Kevlar "Scimitar" shield in the stem to protect against collisions with containers or ice.
