One thing struck me in the specs though

Keel fins are located underneath the floats ...

As opposed to on top of them?

I have an Inflatable Sailing Dinghy, The Aquaflyte. Mine is not performance just a bit of Fun. That Cat would scare me and my Kids to hell and back....I think I will watch out on Ebay though (just in case)

I just love one of the reviews !! >>

Spiffing little boat! My only concern was it was not large enough to house my 5 bodyguards and 2 manservants when I wanted to cruise the water. So naturally I had to purchase 8 of these in order for us all to go out in the water. I am seriously considering taking my full 112 members of staff out in the sea and purchasing one for each as a rather nifty Christmas present! Oh jolly ho yes.

Now talking seriously ... I am concerned that they make a point of it suitable for the SEA ... so unsuspecting newbies may just do that ...

Can't remember who, but someone cruised an inflatable cat around the baltic and had the best time. Enthused about how easy it was to get into small spots, enjoy deserted islands. (might have been something to do with his girlfriend...)

Nothing new under the sun.

Indeed, used to know a chap who sailed one at Reading Sailing Club, butthat was a long time ago now. They always seeme dto have a strong class association.

Yes, I was involved with Catapult's builders, prepping one for Weymouth Speed Week, with a bigger rig. The driver managed 17 point something knots. I never did a timed run in it, but it certainly shifted. Unfortunately it was comprehensively outshone by the (then) new generation of sinking windsufers.
