The game changing one design boat
Introducing the new JUNDA KII, a groundbreaking One-Design keel boat for two/three crew designed to revolutionise the sailing experience. Combining cutting-edge technology, sustainability initiatives, and unparalleled performance, the KII sets a new standard in the sailing
The boat
The only two-crew keel boat on the market
Unlike traditional monohulls requiring 4/5 crew members, the JUNDA KII requires only 2 crew members (3th allowed) significantly reducing seasonal costs and acquisition expenses. Additionally, its streamlined crew management eliminates operational complexities, bridging the gap between amateur and professional sailors. The structural design and manufacturing is crafted with quality and functionality in mind, designed to optimize manoeuvring for a two—person crew.

The visionary founder and CEO behind JUNDA, Ludovico Fassitelli has over four decades of achievements across multiple industries including sailing, rally racing, and entrepreneurship. From winning the Italian Laser championship in 1981 to becoming the Italian Rally Champion in 1992, Ludovico’s passion for speed and innovation knows no bounds. Alongside his wife Elena, he founded Stilo in 1999, a pioneering company in racing helmets and communication systems, ultimately leading to its acquisition by an American buyer in 2015. Now at the helm of JUNDA, Ludovico continues to push the boundaries of innovation within the sailing racing industry, recently being honored with the prestigious gold medal for sports merit from the Principality of Monaco in 2023, a testament to his dedication racing for the Monaco Yacht Club over the years.
Precision OF PRODUCTION: Strict Monotype
All Junda KII boats are designed and developed with complete precision and uniformity. The strict monotype emphasizes each detail with best-of-market materials including deck hardware by HARKEN, sheets and halyards VELAMANIA (the top pro version, pro rigger), 2-Piece Mast-boom-bowsprit by SELDÉN, electric engine by TORQUEEDO, navigation by VAKAROS, and RENEW recycled sails by NORTH SAILS.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
After Ludovico Fasitelli spent seven Years racing keelboat monotypes, it was clear they are the best way to race:
- Real time with lots of close-quarters duels
- Suitable for everyone, all ages
- Technical and fun
But what could be improved? This was what led to the birth of KII: Analyzing what could be improved, identifying the solution, and implementing it.
Designed for two crew (3th allowed)! The seasonal costs and management of a 4/5 monotype crew can be high, with difficulty in training, and limited driver’s role. JUNDA KII addresses these by solving:
- No issues with crew management
- Reduced gap between amateurs and professional crews, and increased value for helmsman
- Easy to train, possible to haul the boat with slipway
- Sharing purchase costs is more simple and natural (50/50)
JUNDA is not just a boat, but a philosophy: WE SOLVE, YOU SAIL. We ensure equality between all boats by:
- CONSTRUCTION
- CERTIFICATION
- STRICT MONOTYPE
- EQUAL PERFORMANCE
- TECHNICAL CONTROLS
Events emphasize community and family engagment:
- Venues selected not just fun racing but vacation opportunity also for the family
- Possibility to haul the boat from the slipway
Prioritizing quality and not quantity in regattas
- Maximum time in water
- Optimization of times to avoid general recalls: Vakaros Race Sense standard on all Junda KII
- All KII will be equipped with Vakaros Race Sense
After having ranged in the design field for more than 30 years, a monotype for two people remains very close to my origins both as a sailor and as a designer. I am therefore very happy to have had the opportunity to carry out this project and to have brought this dream to life.
