The Workstar 600 Workboat & Leisure Vessel by KND is a compact, highly versatile utility craft engineered with an aluminium planing hull and a streamlined open console superstructure. Built to handle light commercial operations, marine workboat duties, and leisure activities, this nimble platform measures 5.77 meters in length overall (LOA), maintains a shallow, highly maneuverable 0.31-meter draft, and operates at a maximum full-load displacement of 1.38 tons. Structurally engineered around a tight 180 mm structural frame spacing layout, the vessel positions a standalone steering helm console amidships to allow clear 360-degree visibility and deck walk-around space. Its open-deck architecture features an optimized self-draining deck system utilizing a centralized drain way channel that feeds directly into dedicated drainage pipes at the port and starboard stern quarters. The platform is rated to carry a 4-person complement on a 1-day operational endurance baseline, and it completely omits fresh water and waste water holding tanks to maximize deck space, increase speed, and shed dead weight.

To provide excellent acceleration, immediate responsiveness, and shallow-water operational safety, the Workstar 600 relies exclusively on an outboard engine propulsion arrangement featuring a twin-motor configuration drawing from a 50-liter integrated fuel capacity. Under the higher-power configuration (Option A), the vessel utilizes dual outboard motors—profiled with Mercury marine power units—to deliver a combined 120 hp of recommended installed power, which drives the craft to a maximum speed of 30.5 knots and a brisk cruising speed of 22.6 knots. Running at this designated cruise setting, the system operates at a fuel burn rate of 19.8 liters per hour, yielding an operational range of 51 nautical miles at full displacement. Alternatively, Option B serves as a lower-output configuration delivering a combined 80 hp of installed power ($2 \times 40\text{ hp}$), which achieves a maximum speed of 24.9 knots, a steady cruising speed of 18.4 knots, and an extended cruising range of 63 nautical miles due to an efficient fuel consumption drop to 13.2 liters per hour.

The vessel’s onboard electrical services and service networks run on a dual 230 VAC and 12 VDC power supply system backed by a robust recommended 420 Ah house battery bank. True to its open-deck mission profile, the architecture explicitly omits an auxiliary generator set (genset) or air conditioning system. The open command helm is equipped with a compact navigation pack centered on a 9-inch multi-function display (MFD) that integrates a VHF DSC radio, a dedicated GPS system, and a depth/speed transducer, with an AIS system available as an optional upgrade. Standard legally mandated maritime safety and navigation gear completes the build, including an all-round white light, sidelights, a magnetic compass, a sound signaling device, a VHF radio, and emergency flares. Certified under CE and Grey Boat Code classification standards with Bureau Veritas (BV) and HPi CE proof validation, these preliminary concept-level parameters represent engineering estimates that remain subject to final design development and detailed engineering modifications.
