I have had one of these 420's, and also their Guppy. I would urge potential buyers to seriously investigate the Minicat factories' "warranty" reputation. (Hint: it's terrible.) I would never get involved with this make again.
The idea of a carbon rudder on an inflatable boat bothers me somewhat
I have one of these and the quality is quite good. I had no need to deal with warranty. It runs quite well on low winds which is perfect for me because i use it excluively on lakes. A solid hull is better but for storage and maneuvrability in low winds beats anything else. My only bad experience with the company was that I ordered a red one and I got an orange one. Not a big issue for me but they should have sent what I ordered.
Hi Joe, super video, I ride one of these minicats since more than two years. And I‘m still inspired. Esspecially in terms of transportation in an RV and sailing where ever you might end up. But on your video I realized that there was clearly not enough pressure on the hulls! The boat will sail much more stable and tack much easier if you will fill it up with 4.4 PSI/ or 0,3 bar. Even if there is a little less in the recommendation ! However have fun - looking forward to your next experience on minicat 😎 Cheers, Carlo(Düsseldorf, Germany)
I think its easier to put in the frame and the keels into the hulls pockets if the hulls are slightly inflated. Also, maybe you already did, but its recommended to inflate the hulls more than whats written in the user guide. Again, super exited to see what you can do with one of these, cheers!
Great video. I was sailing the competitor (Happy Cat Neo, also 4,20m) since 2018 and very happy. I think that is an easy way to become a sailing sailor. In the esturary in the town where I spent my augusts there are 2 old Hobie 16 and from time to time we can reach them: the light weight and the dacron sails make miracles with light winds.
Minicat 420 or Hobie 16?
superrrrr looking forward to the upcoming review! I have an old trailered Hobie 16 that I've had for a few years and have sailed quite a bit, but with starting a family, I've found the barrier to dropping it in the water to be much higher. I've had my eye on these inflatable ones lately since it seems like setting it up and sailing it from the beach is a lot more convenient, less maintenance, and less mental load than driving the H16 around. Also no need for boat/trailer registration... I've read that speeds for the 420 can get up to around 12-14 knots, which is definitely slower than the H16, but surprisingly for an inflatable, not THAT much it seems. And there are trapezes for the 420! Would love to see this in your future video if you have the setup!
I wonder how long the inflatable parts will last...
Very nice. What do you figure top speed will be on that little puppy?
Thanks for the memory, Joe.
You are the big boss of youtube
Im 6"2' and have one of these in a smaller size! The 310 packs down into one bag, weighs an incredible 32kg and is alot of fun.
At last, been wanting you to get hold of one of these for years. Can’t wait to see where you venture off to with it. Enjoy!
Hi joe. Great to see you. Aaron just gave me your birthday card. Thanks Howard. Can't wait to rebuild my rudders
This is great! Please share as much as you can about your experiences with this boat!
Great to hear you planning a review. In fact, I was thinking about getting one of these several times (taking especially into consideration the big advantage of storage flexibility) but still hesitant on it cause of the Can-this-be-taken-seriously?-feeling. Maybe your review will change everything😂
Hey Joe looking forward to hear your Opinion... had an inflatable Happy cat for three years - great fun on a broad reach in 15 kn of Wind but hard to go upwind in the same windstrength when flying a hull it startet slipping sidewise but it gave me certainly some funtime on the water...
Seems to sail quite nicely! Were you able to pack it back in the same bags?
Sweet I have been thinking about buying one next year ty for doing a review.
