Holy whoogly! If I ever write to Santa, he'd better give me one of these! Now, for all you backpack freaks out there, this might come as a shock … or not.
Mini Cat fellows brought this awesome Mini inflatable twin boats, which actually fit into a bag you can chuck in the boot of your car, if you forget some of your friends
on the way.
How cool is that? Regarding its dimensions, the floating boat weighs only 40kg, but it's astounding that when inflated, the boat can support weights of up to 240kg and sail out to sea, or on lakes and rivers, or wherever your adventurous soul might take you. The costs are lower than with any other kind of boat you might own, so there are some financial advantages in this, too.
After unzipping the bag, it only takes just about half an hour to produce a complete water and wind ready catamaran. Among the most important features, it has hard wearing, abrasion resistant floats, a fiberglass and aluminum frame, keel fins for safe shallow sailing, a plastic fabric trampoline, an anchor point, a lockable rudder that can be raised to 90°, a mast and a sail area of over five square meters. It needs an efficient and sexy captain of the deck, and it's ready for action.
The best part is that the catamaran supports two persons, so that you can take one of your loved ones with you while being away. Not to mention it doesn't even need so much depositary space, as it requires only 1350x280x280mm from your attic or cellar space. The assembly space is estimated somewhere around 30 minutes. When carrying it, you can put it into a bag or rucksack. Cool!
Not to mention this wacky MiniCat is portable and works without the need of the roof racks and trailers. Just a hunky and brave captain for some wicked water fun. The price tag is somewhere around 2600 pounds a pop! Now, that's what I call a brilliant invention. Take it to sea, Captain!
