About the KELT 6.20
The molds were later aquired by Kirie and used to produce the FEELING 226.
Designed by Phillipe Harlé and built by Kelt (FRA) from 1974–1987, the Kelt 6.20 is a compact, lightweight trailer-sailer with 1300 hulls produced. Its design prioritizes ease of transport and coastal cruising over heavy offshore performance, characterized by a low displacement of 2105.0 lb and a fin keel.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideal for coastal cruisers, trailer-sailers, and single-handers who prioritize easy transport and manageable size over heavy offshore capability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2105.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 11.04, the Kelt 6.20 is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 23 and Catalina 22, as they share similar dimensions, trailer-sailer roles, and production eras focused on accessible coastal cruising.
