  • PROBABLY THE MOST PURE FUN THAT I'VE HAD ON A BOAT IN A LONG TIME. The Minicat is so light that the feeling when sailing in strong winds is like nothing else.
    Answer to the question: YES IT SENDS. But totally different to every other type of catamaran, or boat for that matter.

      @@JoyriderTV Have you tried the smartkat by any chance? A comparison video would be great.
      Also, do you think there is a way to secure the front of the hulls so they don't flop about so much?

    Great video. Minicat 420 is great but at those speeds it lacks rigidity ...tons of fun though.

    • @mrpickles3825
      @mrpickles3825 Місяць тому

      I noticed that too. I was imagining if you made a long plastic beams on top of each hull attached to the tramp that it would make the boat more rigid???
      I wonder if the 310 would be more rigid for being smaller.

    • @JoyriderTV

      I thought, once again that i could have pumped her a bit firmer.

    • @JoyriderTV

      @@JoyriderTV Just saw the video again, great one. Don't know if someone already mentioned: You have to keep in mind that pressure in the hull might drop because of the water cooling down the air inside the hull. When I pump up my cat and I'm on a warm, sunny beach I would put in about 10-20% more pressure than recommended, depending on the water temperature ...

    Would it be more stable with modified/larger/deeper keels? Laughing along with you hitting 15+ knots!

    • @JoyriderTV

      Yeah i think some bigger keels would give more grip, but it's the compromise with the convenience on show here.

    the 420 seems like it takes a while to assemble. so i got the guppy. but it was hard to steer in higher wind and the mast would fold back in high wind. Manual says these boats are only for beufort 4 max. i was afraid it would break in stronger winds

    • @JoyriderTV
      @JoyriderTV  Місяць тому +1

      I thought I'd test the 420 to the limit - she seemed to take it well.
      I'm going to see how long it takes to assemble now that I have a pump.

      As with all light catamarans. The speed would have decreased significantly, and the load on the entire rigging would have increased significantly. The second person on board - 1.5 times weight gain
