K36-Samurai2

​​​

The next-generation racing yacht is here.

The evolution of the K36-SAMURAI has arrived.
Meet the K36-SAMURAI2 — a cutting-edge high-performance yacht born from the DNA of the original K36, now lighter, faster, and more powerful. With a deliberate trade-off in ultra-light wind performance, it delivers dramatically enhanced speed and control in medium to heavy wind conditions. Very competitive under the IRC and ORC rating systems, it’s a serious contender built for race-focused owners who crave pure performance and exhilarating sailing.

Engineering by the trusted team at SDK, and built through a dynamic collaboration between Code Yachts and Pauger, the K36-SAMURAI2 is a purpose-driven racing machine — a thrilling blend of precision, speed, and elegance designed to win.

 

From the designer:

“Thirty years ago, I began as a CFD researcher, developing simulation tools to reduce wave drag. Since then, I've used CFD as a core design tool across a wide spectrum — from commercial ships to hydrofoils, wing-assisted vessels, racing dinghies, and high-performance keelboats, including three America's Cup projects, each pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

The K36-SAMURAI2 represents the culmination of decades of experience and innovation — and above all, the mindset of never settling. Even when a hull looks perfect, we challenge it against a hypothetical competitor, always reaching for better. That competitive spirit, combined with scientific rigor and real-world feedback, has shaped every line of this boat.

Efficient design under tight deadlines takes experience, skill, and a little bit of luck for good ideas. I believe the K36-SAMURAI2 is one of the best expressions of that balance — a yacht I’m truly proud to offer. I’d be happy to present the boat to you in person if you're interested.”

 

Born from science. Refined by passion. Built to win.
