Before the First World War, the Americans launched the fashion for fast motor launches that were bigger than any previously built. This development in boat building was the result of the desire of yacht owners to measure themselves in other types of competitions or to add to their flotillas with 'tender' boats. These tenders served to carry privileged spectators during regattas, such as the America's Cup.

On the other side of the Atlantic some pioneers, such as Sir Cecil Sidley Kay of Manchester, entrusted the famous boat designer RodnEy W. Paul, of Southampton, with the task of designing a motor-yacht capable of sailing on the open seas as well as on the inland waters of the United Kingdom. This result was the KK. Acquired by a wealthy Scotsman, the boat was requisitioned by the Royal Navy during the Second World War and used as a minesweeper in the Channel before being turned into a fireboat.

In 1946, the boat became the property of an English Admiral, Major General John French, who kept her for several years. Between 1956 and 1962, she was used as a lifeboat by the Calls Cambleton Lifeboat association, before crossing the Channel and becoming the property of the famed French post-war journalist Georges Broussine.

Since then, the KK has sailed in the Atlantic and especially in the Mediterranean, and has called at ports in Italy, Spain, Tunisia and Libya. Over the years, the boat suffered the passage of time and after six years of restoration rose from the ashes.

Built in the pure English tradition, the materials selected are largely oversized, giving a real feeling of security. The hull is made from pitch pine and is copper riveted to its bent in or sawn oak and elm timbers. The teak deck has been fully restored and the new mahogany wheelhouse was rebuilt according to the original plans, which were recovered in the July 1924 edition of 'Yachting Monthly'.

The original old English oak panelling in the lounge and the cabins has been preserved.

The technical equipment has been checked or replaced in order to ensure optimal security along with modern and discreet comfort without changing the yacht's ancient character.
