KSS 58 “Ocean Jedi” – Custom Blue-Water Performance Catamaran

This KELSALL 58 KSS is a well-maintained sailing catamaran, designed by renowned multihull designer Derek Kersall and built by Ballotta Catamarans in 2009. A proven offshore design, she offers generous space, stability and excellent autonomy for long-range cruising or liveaboard use.

She features a comfortable 4-cabin layout with ensuite heads, a bright galley-up configuration, and durable interior finishes. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D3-110 diesel engines, both fully overhauled in 2025, she cruises efficiently at 7–8 knots with a maximum speed of 12–14 knots.

Energy independence is enhanced by two Northern Lights 12 kW generators, an inverter, lithium batteries replaced in 2022, and seven solar panels (totalling more than 1,400 W). Navigation equipment includes GPS/chart plotters, radar, autopilot, wind instruments, VHF and EPIRB.

Additional highlights include the Coppercoat treatment (2021), electric winches, electric windlass with dual controls, bow thrusters, watermakers, a liferaft for eight persons, and recent upgrades, including new cockpit flooring and large windows.

A solid and capable bluewater cruising catamaran, waiting for her next owner. Price is open to offers and can be discussed. 

The owner has also shared the following background on the yacht’s cruising history:

 

“Ocean Jedi handles blue water well.  She was built in Peru in 2009.  I sailed it up the coast of South America, and through the canal, and into the Caribbean for years.  Most repairs and improvements in Aruba.  (I added things like bow thrusters, the Flir augmented reality and night vision system, and two Raymarine axioms 12 with radar ).  Then, right before covid, we sailed from St. Martin to Bermuda and then on to the Azores and into Southern Portugal, eventually to Lagos.  On the way to Bermuda, we traveled though a 55 knot storm without any damage to the boat at all.  

She has sailed from various places in the Caribbean to Baltimore (with the gulf stream) and down again several times.  She also went through a hurricane on the dock in Puerto Rico (I think it was Puerto Del Rey), more than 10 years ago. (No one was on board at the time). No damage to the boat although some of the tie down lines chafed. I have no problem sailing her back to  the USA or Caribbean now.”
