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 903 Long as an elegant companion to your MiniCat.

FRAME & DECK
The MiniCat 420 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 420 is equipped with two inflatable floats 4.2m length and 45 cm diameters. 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 530 kg | 1,166 lbs.
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 5.05 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 420 is equipped with a main sail and a jib. The total area of the sails is 9.7 sqm (main sail 6.5 sqm, jib 3.2 sqm). The material ‘Dimension Polyant’ is used with a surface density of 175 – 240 g/m. The mail sail of the 420 Emotion and Evoque is made of a transparent Sport MonoFilm. Both the main sail and the jib have transparent windows to ensure better visibility and security while sailing.
MiniCat 420 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. The rudder on 420 Instinct and Emotion is made of aluminium, on 420 Evoque, 420 Laura Dekker and 420 15th Anniversary is made of Carbon Fibre.
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 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...

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 903 L (2.5 HP) as an elegant companion to your MiniCat.
