Want to take your own sailing boat on holiday?
Want to go sailing at the weekend, but don‘t have space
for your own boat? It‘s simple - from being stored in your
cupboard, just load it in the car. This is a unique sailing
boat - a catamaran with inflatable floats.
It is small and light, but a full-bodied, fun sailing boat.
Fully portable, it fits in a single bag (or two bags for the
larger model), so you do not need a trailer complicating
your journey. Simply load the bag and go.
For all fans of sailing and water-sports MiniCat offers
the perfect, affordable opportunity to own a sailing boat
without any storage or transport worries. The ingenious
design enables MiniCat to be assembled single-handedly without tools in approx. 25 minutes; (instruction
DVD and printed instruction manual included).
This means that you can go for a quick sail whenever
you want.
With excellent sailing characteristics and simple
control, MiniCat appeals not only to young budding
yachtsmen, but also to older experienced sailors.
Despite MiniCat‘s ultra-light weight and simplicity,
major emphasis has been given to the quality and strength of the materials used during production.
With a 24 month warranty and full availability of parts
and accessories you can be sure that MiniCat is not
a toy, it‘s a serious sailing boat (that fits in your car!!).

FRAME & DECK
The MiniCat 420 frame, to which
the floats attach is produced from a light-weight aluminium and
the frame parts are powder coated. The trampoline is produced from
high strength woven plastic fabric. The frame is attached to the
floats by means of welded-on ‘flags‘, which are inserted into the
pockets on the floats
MINICAT EASY
MAST
The mast consists of three sections of equal length,
slotted together. The length of the assembled mast is 5.05 m.
The mast is from alloy tubing and has a groove for the sail
attachment. This construction ensures high rigidity and strength for
ultimate safety, performance and enjoyment. Masts on all models are
black powder coated.
FLOATS The MiniCat 420 is equipped with two inflatable floats
4.2m length and 45cm diameter. The floats are made of reinforced
HEY-TEX, highly resistant to abrasion and very hard wearing. This
material and production technology was adopted from the production
of ‘white-water‘ rafts. The floats are single-chamber with a combined
load capacity of 530 kg.
KEEL FINS To fully enjoy your sailing you must confidently
control your boat. It is imperative to minimize ‘side-sail‘, especially when sailing against the wind. To achieve this keel fins were
designed to attach under each float. Their design and shape gives
excellent performance yet still allows the boat to be sailed in very
shallow water without the risk of damage.
SAILS The MiniCat 420 is equipped with a main sail and jib. The total
area of the sails is 9.7 sqm (main sail 6.5 sqm, jib 3.2 sqm). The material
‘Dimension Polyant‘ is used with a surface density of 175 - 240 g/m.
Both the main sail and the jib have transparent windows to ensure better
visibility and security while sailing.
RUDDER
MiniCat 420 is fitted with one rudder in the craft
centerline, attached to the frame. The automatic cleat will unlock
the rudder rope in case the boat runs aground, thus protecting it from
damage. The design of the rudder allows it to be raised at a 90
degree angle, so at the shore or in very shallow water there is no danger of damage. The rudder can be locked in both positions, raised or
lowered. The tiller arm is jointed allowing full 360 degree movement.
FITTINGS
Fittings from the companies Ronstan, Seasure,
Clamcleat and Suchomel are used throughout the MiniCat.
All spare parts and accessories are available. Ask for the Parts
and Accessories Catalogue.

MAST
The mast consists of three sections of equal length,
slotted together. The length of the assembled mast is 3.8 m. The
mast is from alloy tubing and has a groove for the sail attachment.
This construction ensures high rigidity and strength for ultimate
safety, performance and enjoyment. Masts on all models are black
powder coated.
The MiniCat 310 frame, to which the
floats attach, consists of rigid, transparent polyester sections on a
light-weight aluminium frame. KONTYPOR foam with UV protection
provides comfort at the seating areas.
The trampoline is produced from high strength woven plastic fabric.
The transparent polyester seats are designed for comfortable sailing.
Attached to the floats by straps these are secured with alloy tubes
maintaining the position of the floats and the deck. The fabric trampoline sections fill the frame and are tightly secured by a threaded line.
As the trampoline is taut and the frame is tight there is no need for
any additional fixings. The central tube is attached to the underside of
the frame and the rudder mechanism is housed at the rear of the tube.
At the front of the tube is the anchor-point for the mast line and jib.
SAILS
The MiniCat 310 is equipped with a main sail and jib.
The total area of the sails is 5.15 sqm (main sail 3.75sqm , jib
1.40sqm). The material ‘Dimension Polyant‘ is used with a surface
density of 175 g/m. The main sail is ‘all-spire‘ construction, i.e. without a yardarm. There are 6 flat spires in the sail. MiniCat Sport is
equipped with a ‘jib furler‘. The main sail has a window to ensure
better visibility while sailing.
FLOATS The MiniCat 310 is equipped with two inflatable floats
3.1m length and 33cm diameter. The floats are made of reinforced
HEY-TEX, highly resistant to abrasion and very hard wearing. This
material and production technology was adopted from the production
of‚ ‘whitewater‘ rafts. The floats are single-chamber with a combined

Fantastic addition for large yachts
Understandably MiniCat is a firm favourite of weekend sailors on
coasts and inland waters around the world. But due to the great portability and easy storage MiniCat has also become very popular with
yacht, motor-cruiser and Super-Yacht owners. A great addition to the
‘toys’ stowed below decks MiniCat even has an optional engine mount
(Engine support) enabling it to be used as a tender without the mast.
Camping and sailing – the perfect weekend!
Many MiniCat owners are also campervan and caravan owners, weekend adventurers who love the simple assembly and easy storage.
The opportunity to sail and enjoy the water both on the coast or a lake
without the worry of trailers and storage adds new and fun possibilities to your travels.
Famous friends
Having first encountered a MiniCat in Bora-Bora during her record-breaking world circumnavigation, famous young sailor Laura Dekker
soon became a MiniCat owner and has publicly praised the incredible performance achievable from an inflatable boat. Laura keeps her
MiniCat stowed and ready for fun on her ketch ‘Guppy’.

“MiniCat sails really well and it is
very fast. It is easy to assemble and
the boat is very well thought out so
you do not need much storage space
if you are not living near to the sea.
It can be carried along in one or two
bags. Usually advertisements are
very much exaggerated but this one
really says it like it is. I have seen
and sailed numerous inflatable catamarans and this one really stands
above them all.“
