All 420 models include a continuous line jib furler.

Meet the MiniCat 420 Family

The  Instinct  is the base model which is perfect for beginners.  It has a Dacron sail and does  not  have a boomed mainsail which sacrifices some performance to create a safer learning experience.   

The  Emotion  is the  perfect sports boat, for a more experience sailors.  It  offers a true sporting experience for those that like to go fast, but also surprises with its versatility.   The main sail is made of transparent Monofilm and controlled by an aluminum boom.  This enables the optimal sail profile settings to achieve maximum performance and speed.

The  Evoque  is for those that intend to race their boat with the intention of winning!  It uses a carbon bowsprit, boom and rudder instead of aluminum and fiberglass which decreases the weight of the boat.   The sail is made of  Monofilm & Racing Polyester X-PLY line.  If you really want an advantage, consider the carbon mast which is an accessory.  

The  Laura Dekker Edition  is top of the line! It has the same carbon fiber upgrades as the Evoque as well as a traveller and a eye-catching carbon fiber Poly-X racing main sail and jib.  The  newly designed trampoline has an embroidery of the Laura Dekker signature  logo.   For those that do not know, Laura Dekker became the youngest person to circumnavigate the world.  She did so on a 12-meter bright red Kelch named "Guppy" at age 16.   A signed copy of this very inspirational young lady's book, "One Girl, One Dream" is included with every boat.

Accessory Pro Tips

The MiniCat 420 is the most customizable boat in this market segment with a range of accessories for all types of sailors! 

Do you plan on racing?       You should consider   a Trapeze Set , a Rolling Genna , a Storm Sail , a Traveller , and a Wind Flag . 

Are you a leisure sailor?       The Additional Front Trampoline is the perfect spot to stow your beach towels, picnic basket and beer.  An Inflatable Seat and a set of Neoprene Shroud Covers  make it a little more comfortable as you catch the wind and some sun on that beautiful summer day.  The L adder makes it easy to get in and out of the boat when it’s time to take a dip.   

Will your boat be stored outside?       Keep your sailboat looking new and beautiful!  A Protective B oat Cover , Protective Rudder Cover and Float Supports protect your investment from the sun, dings, scratches and kids that think it is a bounce house.  

Would you like to reduce set up time?      You can carry the boat to the beach and inflate it with the handpump that is included with the boat. O r you could speed up the job with a handheld Hi gh Volume Inflator to quickly inflate the boat to around 1 psi. With this pump, you will still need to use the hand pump to inflate the hulls to pressure.  A Pressure Gauge will enable you to make sure that the boat is inflated to the proper pressure for peak performance.  You could also  set the pressure and forget about it with a Automatic Inflator .   Once the boat is inflated and ready to go, roll it down to the beach with one hand using a Transport Trolley .   *New for 2023,  check out the Trampoline Set .  This clever device will knock 10 minutes off your assembly time. 

Are you learning or teaching?      You will probably flip the boat if you get caught by a gust of wind and don't know what to do. (Hint;  Just release the main sail!) If you do flip the boat, it is no big deal.   It is easy to flip the boat back over, especially if you have a Mast Float .

Will you travel with your MiniCat?       Wheeled bags are a no brainer and a must for train staions and airports.  Purchase this as a bag replacement upgrade when you buy your boat and save 60%.  

Are you sailing far from shore or in spotty wind conditions?       We highly recommend a Telescopic Paddle for those pesky times when mother nature decides not to cooperate.  Depending on the extent of your adventure, i t may be essential that you have an outboard motor as an alternate propulsion method.  If this is your plan, you will need an Engine Support  to go with a small long shaft outboard motor.   If you do not already have an outboard,  we suggest a Torqeedo 1103 C Long as an elegant companion to your MiniCat.

MiniCat 420

Given the boom of the RIB market and inflatable paddleboards too, it’s no wonder that small catamarans are also taking a look at the formula. The big leader in this niche, MiniCat will soon be celebrating its 15th birthday and... 2,000 catamarans produced! We tried out the most popular model from the Czech manufacturer, the MiniCat 420.

Some large multihulls with clear space on the bimini have been known to carry a pair of Optimist sailing dinghies on the top - although the windage would be substantial and stowing as well as launching wouldn’t be an obvious task. Surely, it’d be simpler to take a small sailboat that fits in two bags? And why opt for a small monohull capable of capsizing in the first puff of breeze when you are a multihull enthusiast? MiniCat - or rather its founder, the Czech Martin Horak - became interested in the idea of an inflatable catamaran 14 years ago. His goal was to offer a real sailing boat, easy to assemble and transportable in simple bags. The MiniCat can be easily stowed on board, but also in your car. You can therefore be the owner of a catamaran that slips under your bed! The range starts with the 10 feet (3 m) Guppy and extends up to 15 feet (4.60 m).

It fits in two bags!

The MiniCat 420 fits in two bags of 5’9”x12”x12” (175 x 30 x 30 cm) - they are designed to fit in a standard car by folding just one seat. Each bag weighs just over 50 lb (25 kg). Optionally, they c...

Mayor claims drone intercepted near Moscow

Russian air defense units allegedly intercepted a drone over the city of Elektrostal in Moscow Oblast, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported in a Telegram post on Nov. 19.

Sobyanin claims the drone was heading towards central Moscow.

The Mayor also said emergency services were at work at the crash site but no casualties or damage to infrastructure have been reported.

The Kyiv Independent could not independently verify the reports.

Since the launch of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukrainian forces have targeted Russian military, logistics, and infrastructure sites in the occupied territories and within Russia.

Today's drone report comes just hours after Ukraine's alleged drone attack was intercepted over the Bogorodskoye municipal district in Moscow Oblast.

While claims of Ukrainian attacks within Russian territory have increased since summer 2023, Kyiv rarely comments on these reports.

Constructed of the latest materials and technology, the M460 Esprit inflatable sailboat is ultra-lightweight and delivers an exceptional sailing experience. It comes in three bags, can be assembled in about 40 minutes, and will carry 1 to 4 sailors.

M460 Esprit & Elite can be enhanced with the addition of the optional rolling sail ‘GENNA’

Genna is an ultra-light, large, balloon-like triangular-shaped sail in the ‘Code-Zero’ style, which significantly improves performance when sailing not only on the tailwind but also on the crosswind and even slightly against the wind.

Its construction is based on the ‘Code Zero’ type of sails, and it comes equipped with a furler, so a snuffer is not required, as it can be rolled back in the same way as the jib. This new rolling sail Genna can also be used with the earlier MiniCat models (M420 and M460).

• 4-Piece ultra-light   Carbon   fiber mast
• Rudder – Carbon fiber
• Bowsprit –   Carbon fiber
• Main Sail 8.0 m² – from Monofilm & Racing Polyester X-PLY line with funky dark design
• Black Trampoline with cool embroidery
• Floats fitted with hooks to fasten the additional front trampoline or the rope when anchoring the boat

The top-of-the-range MiniCat 460 Elite is a high-tech edition class-leading MiniCat portable sailboat range.

The construction is based on the MiniCat 460 Esprit, designed for experienced sailors, but the latest model ‘Elite’ takes the MiniCat 460 range to a new level of style, class, and performance through the use of an ultra-light carbon fiber mast, rudder, and bowsprit together with some eye-catching details of embroidery on the trampoline. It comes in three bags, can be assembled in about 40 minutes, and will carry 1-4 sailors.

FRAME & DECK

The MiniCat 460 frame, to which the floats attach, is produced from 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.

The MiniCat 460 is equipped with two inflatable floats 4.6 m length and 49 cm diameter. The floats are made of reinforced Heytex 5509, 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 550 kg.

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.

The mast consists of three sections of equal length, slotted together. The length of the assembled mast is 6.10 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.

The MiniCat 460 is equipped with a main sail and a jib. The total area of the sails is 11,5 sqm (main sail 8,0 sqm, jib 3.5 sqm). The material ‘Racing PolyesterX-PLY Line’ is used for the main sail and the jib is made of “Polyester Dakron”. Both the main sail and jib have transparent windows to ensure better visibility and security while sailing. The 460 Esprit can be equipped with optional Gennaker.

MiniCat 460 is fitted with one rudder in the craft centreline, 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 from the companies Ronstan, Seasure, Clamcleat and Suchomel are used throughout the MiniCat. All spare parts and accessories are available. See our SPARE PARTS & ACCESSORIES CATALOGUE.

MiniCat Guppy Innovations

The MiniCat Guppy is the smallest and simplest sailboat in the MiniCat range. The Guppy is a great trainer for beginners and small families. Teach your kids how to sail on this low stress boat so they fall in love with the sport forever! The Guppy is ready to sail after about 10 minutes of easy assembly, the perfect yacht or beach toy for anyone!

MiniCat Guppy Features & Benefits

The MiniCat Guppy is a combination of over a decade of experience and the idea of making sailing more accessible. The Guppy is one of the least expensive sailboats on the market and it packs a wallop in terms of value.

Easy Setup The Guppy comes mostly pre-assembled right out of the bag Simply inflate the hulls, install the center bar and put up the mast, most motivated sailors can do this in about 10 minutes! Wheeled storage bag grants you the freedom to build your Guppy close to the water.

Keels MiniCat offers the inflatable sailboats that use keels. This keeps the draft low, and makes sailing very simple with no pesky centerboards to get hung up on weeds or drag bottom in shallow areas. Guppy keels were designed by Tomas Bata University in the Czech Republic to be made out of 100% recycled plastic. Better for the environment, and they float!

Fully Battened Square-Top Mainsail The square-top mainsail provides this little cat with more than enough power to have a fun day on the water. Fully battened with fiberglass battens provides great sail shape, even in light winds. Some Guppy sailors have reported surfing waves up to 12 knots, but average reaching speeds of 8 knots have been achieved.

Premium Hulls - Heytex 5509 PVC All MiniCats, including the Guppy, have hulls made in Germany with Heytex 5509 PVC. This is top shelf PVC and has an extended life expectancy of typical boat PVC. This boat fabric is no different than other PVC with regards to repair. It is easily repairable by an amateur, so no more expensive boat yard repair bills!

Powdercoated Lightweight Aluminum Frames MiniCats are built with lightweight aluminum frames that have been powder coated using techniques that are time tested and durable, even in saltwater! The rugged, long-lasting frame uses the lightest weight materials for both transport ease and sailing performance.

Boomless Mainsail The Guppy’s boomless main design provides for worry-free sailing with children or novice sailors. No worries about getting bonked in the head by a hard boom.

Carbon Fiber, Unstayed Mast The new-for-2023 MiniCat Guppy features a brand first unstayed carbon fiber mast. After many hours of testing, the Red Beard Team absolutely LOVES this feature! The mast is flexible allowing for comfortable sailing in high winds, but is very simple to manage and provides plenty of power on light wind days. Removing the need to connect wires further speeds up the boat assembly process.

Ergonomic Trampoline The Guppy’s trampoline has plenty of handles and tiedown points so you can stash gear to bring along. There are also two sets of hiking straps so any sailor, short or tall, can comfortably and easily hike out.

Fun for Kids & Adults The Guppy is a fantastic value and is a great way for parents or grandparents to teach sailing to small children. Because the Guppy is stable and lightweight, it can even be be sailed solo by kids without being overpowered. Some customers have even had their own regattas by buying multiple Guppys and match racing them.
